A Perfect Stride
The past couple of months have been something of a dream for Georgia. Loxwood is hers, and every day is dedicated to training him to become an event horse. Friends are coming easily, and Georgia finally feels like she belongs. Anything seems possible.
But self-doubt clouds Georgia’s ability to succeed, and she begins to question whether becoming a professional rider is nothing more than a fantasy.
Will everything fall apart? Or will Georgia be reminded of the more important things in life, and get her act together?

The plot thickens
Georgia and Loxwood are the perfect team and their adventures are a great lesson in perseverance. I will recommend this series to young and adult equestrians! Grace Wilkinson is creative and tells a good story.

A Perfect Stride: (Loxwood#2) by Grace Wilkinson could be a stand alone book, BUT I would highly recommend you to read Loxwood (the first in this series) to completely understand the struggles that Georgia had to go through to obtain this magnificent horse. In this book, Georgia helps Loxwood adjust from the racing world of high speed, to the discipline of an under saddle event horse. The stress is mounting, as Georgia has her heart set on a high goal, which may or may not be within her reach. The training of finding the correct rhythm of the canter, the setting up for the jumps, became frustrating to this team, but Georgia finds strength and support from her beloved friend and trainer Rose as she still can't find peace at her own home. During many months of training, Georgia expands her friendships with other equestrians and realizes that her life might just not be as bad as she thought. Many surprises unfold with the secondary characters, and a revelation about Rose is quite the surprise. I felt this author wrote as though I myself was hanging out with the main character, feeling all her emotions, and nerves. I will say... what a surprise last chapter.

This is a sweet, charming story—true horsey ‘comfort food!’ The exercise rider Georgia has finally acquired the horse of her dreams—a failed racehorse named Loxwood who she is convinced will make a wonderful eventer and take her up the levels. Georgia is wildly ambitious but gets quickly brought back to earth when she struggles with the reality of learning how to see distances as well as teaching Loxwood to jump.
Georgia is a winning narrator, easy to identify with yet also funny and passionate about riding. As an American, I loved learning more about the riding scene in the UK. For example, self-care liveries (stables) seem to be much more common across the pond.
Georgia finds a second family in the world of riding, including people who guide her through her first event and who also understand the joys of obsessively talking about horses (and watching Badminton on television) as well as riding, unlike her parents. I really wanted to be part of Georgia’s world by the end of the book.

Great Adventure for Any Horse Lover
These books by Grace Wilkinson are awesome! Very realistic in all settings,at the racetrack,the eventing barn or home, you feel as if you are there along with the characters. All characters are well-developed, I laughed and cried as the main character,Georgia,works to make her dreams come true. I was a riding instructor and trained racehorses,and these books help me remember moments I have had. I am definitely reading all this author's stories,they are fun and happy.

Relatable and real
I am completely delighted by Grace Wilkinson's writing, characters, and settings in the Loxwood series. Wilkinson understands horses and the sport, and more importantly, she's very good at describing the way these passions make horse-people feel. I could be Georgia, and Loxwood could be a horse I had a unique connection with in the past. I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next installment.

I'm not a fair judge!
It's because I love horses too, too much, and this book was like an unbelievable dream come true for me.
