Riding Lessons #1: Riding Lessons Award-winning author

Meet Ellen: a spirited – and occasionally misbehaving – young horseback-riding student. In the spring of fourth grade, Ellen’s life feels like a balancing act: she is only allowed to go to riding lessons when she behaves at school and at home. But it’s much harder than it sounds! Ellen has a knack for speaking out of turn in class, and with a new sibling on the way, she can’t resist taking advantage of her parents’ distraction.

Then, on one perfect day – when Ellen has minded her manners – she sees Ned for the first time. Ned is a beautiful colt who used to be a racehorse, until he hurt his leg. They seem to understand each other immediately, and all Ellen wants to do is spend more time with her new friend.

But will she be able to keep up her best behaviour at school? And will her parents ever let her have a horse of her own?
