But when a woman at a gas station informs them that Zak Stone no longer heals people's horses, questions start popping up. Will Kristie be able to convince Zak Stone to heal her horse and will Lucky be able to hold on the rest of the trip? This book was exiting and anyone who loves horses should read it.
