<i>Jade's summer is not looking too good. She needs to find a new home for Pip, her beautiful old mare, and is resigned to schooling troublesome Taniwha. Then she gets some good news. Becca's Aunt Flora, who has a riding school by the beach at Ocean Bay, is looking for a bombproof beginner's mount - namely, Pip! Better still, would Jade like to spend a few weeks helping out around the school and learning about endurance riding? Of course. To Jade, Samudra Riding School is heaven. Unfortunately, a property developer thinks so, too, and is determined to build luxury beach houses on the horses' land. Jade must find a way to save perfect Pip's new home.</i>
