The Monday horses

by Jean Slaughter Doty

Cass would always recall with pain and and horror the day that Toby, her beloved horse, stepped on a broken bottle. But that day also brought the beginning of Cass’s friendship with Connie and Steve and the others at Foxfire, the stables where Toby was cared for during the long weeks of his recuperation. Cass came to know the joys of training and grooming horses and then competing with them in shows across the country. But she also experienced some rude awakenings. This no-holds-barred story tells not only of the dedicated horse lovers who struggle to make horse training an honest and exciting profession, but reveals the greed and corruption that have become part and parcel of the world of horse competition. *The Monday Horses* is a compelling story, an authentic behind-the-scenes glimpse of one of America’s most glamorous sports.
