Kate sighed and watched as Riptide grazed peacefully with several other young geldings. She was glad that Riptide was improving, but a small part of her was worried that Jeremy was right.

“Should I just give up on racing him? Maybe Riptide really is telling me he’d rather be an eventing horse or that he wants to just have fun on trails. But we have to try. I don’t want to lose him.” Kate said to herself.

She watched the horses a few more minutes, before heading to the house for the night.
