Become the horse (wo)man your horse is hoping for
Thirteen-year-old Emilia has been riding for several years and is overjoyed when she gets Valentin, a pony gelding. But her joy is soon muted when her riding instructor is anything but gentle with her and Valentin. When her training leads to a serious riding accident, Emilia makes up her mind: she doesn’t want to use these methods any longer. She can’t, and won’t, treat her pony like this! During a visit to Aubenhausen, Emilia meets medal-winning dressage rider Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, who offers to train her and Valentin. With Jessica’s help, she gradually regains confidence in herself and her pony.
