"I hate her," Jamie said, thinking of her mother who was determined to move them all to town. She spurred Dream on as they raced across the field toward the last barrel, cut around it and headed back. Pulling the big bay up, she leaned over and patted her on the neck.

Chapter One
"Nice work, girl." Jamie leaned down to open the gate, rode through and closed it. Riding home from the fairgrounds, she had watched the sun slip behind the Rocky Mountains. She knew that during July in Colorado, it was better to practice in the evenings when it was cool. Jamie was determined to win the high point trophy in this special fair they were billing as the First Grant County Fair of the Millennium.
It was almost dark as she trotted up the drive. The house was not much to look at, just small and old, Mom always said. It was a long way for her to drive to work, but it was home and where would Dream stay if they moved to town?
All Jamie's worries came back as she rode around the house and down to the barn. Dad's headaches seemed worse. He hadn't been himself all summer. Mom only cared about work, or at least that's all Jamie ever heard about, that and finding a house in town. She rode slowly until she saw the car in the driveway.
It looked as if Mom and Dad were home, and knowing she was late, she hurried as she took the heavy saddle off and brushed Dream to cool her down. She loved the smell of horse and the feel of the currycomb going through the thick hair on Dream's back.
