Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of expectation or losing interest in a hobby they used to love because it has become too competitive. Victoria, a twelve-year-old rider, is burned out by high-stakes horse shows and the social pressure that comes with them. After a falling out with her best friend, she seeks refuge at a low-key stable where she hopes to just be alone with the horses, only to realize that true joy comes from finding a community that values passion over trophies. It is a perfect choice for parents of middle schoolers navigating the transition from childhood play to specialized achievement. This graphic novel offers a gentle, realistic look at setting boundaries, managing social anxiety, and rediscovering personal identity outside of external accolades. It is a highly relatable read for any 8 to 12-year-old dealing with friendship shifts or performance burnout.
