Cathy's Quest

By Mary Beth Brace

Cathy's quest to get a horse started when Tonya invited her to summer camp. Paintball was to be their main activity, but in a turn of events, Cathy, saying absolutely no to playing paintball, ended up in the horsemanship activity registration line.

Being around horses was a first for Cathy. She learned to ride quickly. Her horse at camp was a beautiful bay gelding named Monte. Everyone at camp told her she had a gift with horses-especially after the camp horse show event at the end of the week.

Cathy wondered why hadn't she ever been around horses when she was with Tonya? Tonya's family owned a lot of horses. It was their life. Cathy remembered third grade, when her family moved to Gladwin. All her times with Tonya never included being around horses. Tonya talked about horses all the time. Cathy saw the trophies and pictures in Tonya's room, but not one step toward their barn or touching the beloved pony, Molly.

Now, in high school, all of Cathy's friends have horses and she is miserable. Cathy is determined to get a horse of her own. She wanted one just like Monte, but she finds out her parents are totally against her owning a horse. When she tries to ask why, they are not telling.

Will the quest for getting a horse get her in trouble with her parents? Will she be left behind by her horse loving friends? Will she find more than just a search for the right horse?

Cathy's Quest is approximately 62,000 words and a sweet find for teen girls seeking to learn more about horses, and the horse life. Contains Christian elements.
