Lope

Faye Cassidy has one goal in mind: to place in the Top Ten at the Western Pleasure Horse Championships. After ten years of marriage, which ended in a bad divorce, she is determined to fulfill her own dreams. And for the first time in a long time she is sure she doesn't need a man to do it . . .

Lope follows Faye Cassidy on her journey to regain her true self. It is a return to a life she once knew showing horses and living a rural lifestyle. It also means opening her heart to new opportunities. Lope tells her story while taking the reader inside the world of competing on a western discipline horse show circuit.
