Title: Horses in Wonderland (Show Barn Blues Book 2) Pdf
Or not.
A shot at making a few extra bucks by renting stalls to a trainer specializing in parade horses becomes a new obsession for Grace’s assistant trainer, Kennedy -- and a shot in the arm for Grace, who finds herself charmed by the local theme park’s equine manager, Mark. Not ready to cede the area’s equestrian experiences to the theme parks, she begins to think she can beat them at their own game. Which, unfortunately, won’t be easy to explain to Mark.
Trying to balance a barn full of boarders, aggressive new neighbors, a troublesome staff and a relationship with a man whose business model is in her crosshairs isn’t easy. Grace has been in the horse business a long time... but it's never looked like this before.
Fabulous read! I loved this book. Great storyline, characters, and dialogue. Most importantly, this (and all of her books) are realistic, non-ridiculous horse fiction. I can’t say enough good things about this author!Entertaining and well written I'm probably not the typical reader of Natalie's books... Male, mid 50s and a somewhat new rider. I find all her books entertaining and informative!Those marvelous trained horses at the theme parks come from trainers at barns like this Having been around horses all my life, and familiar with the hunter-jumper barn system, the dressage queens and the eventers, this book quickly drew me in. Though its setting is as foreign as Mars to me, I am fascinated by the struggles of keeping the barn afloat, and managing employees, students, neighbors, and a wide cast of horses and ponies. Children's riding lessons on compliant ponies are a big part of the income, but require certain qualities in their instructors. They tend to flourish in an upbeat atmosphere and wilt under the firmer methods that work with most adults. Note that is MOST. There's one adult student who has a wonderful horse, but no riding ability whatsoever, and no capability of taking instructions to improve.This barn owner is in the process of searching out a new farm, as her current one is surrounded by resorts, non-horsey neighbors, and at present, a noisy construction site with all the noisy trucks and other traffic. It's hard to run a barn when the jump ring by the road is mostly unusable due to the noisy traffic. The indoor ring is quieter, and there are trails, but the property isn't really usable as it was originally set up. Running a sideline of trail rides for non-riders is proving to be a disaster looking for a place to happen, and not profitable enough to justify the risk or the stress. A local trainer needs 8 stalls for the draft horses she's schooling for commercial use at theme parks, including Mouse World. They will be pulling carriages, trolleys, and floats, as well as toting princesses, princes, and other fairy tale characters.I learned from this that the Friesian, so popular for so long in movies and shows, is fading in popularity, replaced by the various spotted drafts. Bigger horses accommodate bigger people, and to the watching non-horsemen, look more appropriate. Even though you don't need a horse the size of a battleship for most people, non-riders just can't get their heads around the idea that horses are sturdy chaps (when they aren't trying to kill themselves). Big horses also make people look more petite.It takes work to make well-trained horses of any size, and even drafters can spook at ordinary things, such as ponies and things around the barn. These behemoths are disruptive to the schedule, the calm, and everything in general. However, they help pay the bills.It's hard to run a horse farm and still have a life. Despite romance novels and Lifetime movies telling tales of how wonderful life is around a barn, the hours are long, the problems are many, and you are the last one to receive a paycheck...if there is one. Is there time to fall in love? When in doubt, get a dog. They're always happy to see you.I love Natalie's books.
