West Coast Show Jumping

*****The following is from the back of the book; I DID NOT write it.***** Everyone seems to "stretch the truth" when it suits their purpose. But when Sis found out that her dad was involved in real estate frauds she was devastated and decided to spend the summer working on her uncle's ranch where she would have time to think. But the Tanbark Ranch wasn't a haven of tranquility. One of the ranch hands was involved in a treacherous scheme that could destroy the ranch and the horse Sis had come to love. How could she let her uncle know that someone he trusted was deceiving him? *********My review************ This book is centered around a dapple gray show jumper called "Sea Gull" and Sis Reynolds, a girl who is hired by her Uncle Lee to be a ranch hand and English riding instructor for the summer. Lee had gotten the horse from a known horse abuser named Kramer who had made the gelding too high-spirited and afraid of jumping. Over the course of the summer Sis devlops a bond with Gull and starts to jump him in shows. Not everything is as wonderful as it seems though, one of Lee's ranchhands is a gambler who makes money by betting on horses after affecting their performance. When he threatens Sis and Gull Sis is put into a bad situation. Will she protect her horse by telling the truth or try and protect herself by covering for the criminal?
