It’s no secret that Andrea Carter would rather ride her beloved palomino, Taffy, than do anything else. Now Taffy’s having her first foal, and Andi can’t wait to train it to become as good a companion as its mother. The only distraction from those delightful plans is the fear that something may go wrong. When her foaling fears are realized, Andi is grateful for her brother Chad’s intervention.
