AJ is still dreaming of taking her talented pony Squib to the top level of pony show jumping, but she's about to hit some serious roadblocks. Squib has started slipping on the turns, and now her best friend Katy is insisting that AJ needs to put shoes on Squib, instead of letting him jump barefoot as he's always done before. But AJ isn't so sure...
Can AJ achieve her goals without compromising what she feels is best for her pony?

I really enjoyed this book. This book showed you the different perspectives of the horse world when it come to shoes. The book was mainly about AJ's mission on wether or not to put shows on Squirrel Nutkin aka Squib. This is a big decision for AJ because she wants to do what she thinks her pony will be happier with. This brings out an internal trait for AJ which is the trait for compassion and caring. This trait is seen somewhat throughout the series but is especially highlighted in this book. That means that you can really start to understand the way AJ thinks and feels, and that's what makes this book a really good one.
Another great installment! Love seeing how the characters grow, both when they're the main character and when they're not. Kate Lattey continues to impress me so much!
