Horses and Friends - Set of 7

A Horse for Kate

Silver Spurs

Kate lives to ride her horse and compete in shows. But her best friend, Tori, has no horse to ride and no money to buy one. So Kate comes up with a plan: she will board horses in her family's empty barn—after all, it has plenty of stalls and an indoor arena—and maybe they can even host a horse show and give a set of silver spurs to the championship rider.

It seems like the perfect solution until Melissa, the most spoiled girl at school, shows up as the first boarder and is determined to win the spurs. Will their plans be ruined—or does God have something even better in store for them all?

Mystery Rider

Thirteen-year-old Kate Ferris already has one problem. Snooty, well-to-do Melissa is boarding her horse at the Ferris family's stable. When Melissa suddenly turns nice, Kate is shocked... and suspicious.

The last thing she needs is more trouble. So when a hooded rider appears—and then disappears—riding a stunning black horse past her home, Kate isn't sure if Melissa is playing a trick or if something more dangerous is going on. Either way, Kate and her friends will need an extra measure of faith and courage to solve this mystery.

Blue Ribbon Trail Ride

Thirteen-year-old Kate Ferris comes up with the perfect way to raise money for her autistic younger brother and others to attend summer camp—a horse scavenger hunt! As local businesses donate money and prizes, Kate keeps the entry fees in her mom's antique jewelry box. But when the jewelry box and money disappear, Kate and her friends must hold on to hope, unravel the clues, and solve the mystery along the Blue Ribbon Trail Ride.

Rebel Horse Rescue

Summer is winding down for Kate and her friends when a surprise visitor appears at her family’s farm—a beautiful bay horse wearing a halter and a bad attitude. Dubbing the horse “Rebel,” the friends set out to find the horse’s owner. Where did he come from—and why are horses all over the area disappearing from their pastures and paddocks? It’s a mystery that even the sheriff can’t solve, so Kate decides to head up the investigation. When Kate’s brother, Pete, who has autism, develops a strong connection to the new arrival, Kate wonders—did God bring Rebel to them for a bigger purpose?

Trouble on the Trail

“Hey, mister! You dropped something.” Kate and her friends witness a cantankerous old man drop part of a hand-drawn map, but he drives off in his beat-up Ford before they can give it back. They learn the man is Mr. Benson, a former prospector who lives in the nearby hills and wants to be left alone. But when Kate and Tori overhear two men conspiring to rob Mr. Benson of his gold, they know they have to warn him before the thieves can strike. What will happen if their plan backfires and the men come after them?

Kate's Stolen Treasure

Fourteen-year-old Kate Ferris has settled into her new life in Odell, Oregon. The riding barn and her friendships are expanding, and her little brother, Pete, who is autistic, has started to blossom. The upcoming Hood River County fair promises to be the perfect place for Kate to show her new filly, Sapphire. But then the unthinkable happens: Sapphire disappears.

Kate and her friends scour the countryside, put up flyers, and even get the police involved, but Sapphire is nowhere to be found. Then they knock on the door of an old house and meet a suspicious man who demands they leave the property. Could he be involved in Sapphire’s disappearance? When Kate, Tori, and Jake look for clues, they find themselves trapped—and more desperate than ever to find Sapphire before she’s sold. Will the mysterious man decide to help them or only put them in more danger?

The latest addition to the Horses & Friends Series, Kate’s Stolen Treasure is a wholesome, well-crafted tale that includes author insights, a story-based recipe, and thoughtful questions to inspire deep faith and rich relationships.
