Horse & Pony Books:
THE DECEIVERS
(ARMADA PB 1990)
SUMMARY After riding for years at the stables run by the unpleasant Janey, Lucy is overjoyed to be getting her own horse. When her father asks Janey to help buy his daughter a horse neither he nor Lucy thinks she will stoop low enough to buy an unsuitable horse in order to make a profit. But the new purchase is a large ex-steeplechaser whom Janey thinks she can train to win the local point to point in order to secure the large prize to help her crumbling business. Lucy knows that an ex-racehorse is no mount for a 12 year old girl but she has fallen in love with Sundance and wants to keep him. As Janey's behaviour becomes more erratic Lucy must go out on a limb to help herself, her horse and the people around her.
