The Love of Red

Jessie loses her dad at 13 years old. Her love of horses and riding, their shared passion, has died with him.

On Jessie's fourteenth birthday, she is given a gift, her dad put into place before his passing. Scarlet O'Hara, barn name Red, a beautiful Irish thoroughbred mare, born and raised on the O'Brian's established breeding farm. Jessie and her dad watched Red grow from a baby to an exceptionally trained athletic jumper. Jessie's ultimate dream was for Red to be hers, but knew full well the price of her was beyond their reach, making her untouchable.

The presence of Red now, without her dad, is too painful. Jessie desperately wants her gone. "Give her time," her mom says. "After a month, if you still want her removed, I will make

it happen."

Red's love slowly encompasses Jessie's broken heart, rekindling her passion and restoring her hope of a riding future. When an unforeseen trauma hits Reds, it questions her future soundness and health. Jessie must dig to find the love, courage, trust, determination and strength to conquer what seems to be impossible. Will it be enough?
