Barrel Racer Hazel

Author:  Liv McLean  Hazel isn't your average farm girl-she's determined, hardworking, and horse-crazy, with big dreams of winning her first Barrel Racing competition on her beloved horse, Buttercup. Raised side by side since birth, Hazel and Buttercup are more than just rider and horse-they're best friends. But when Buttercup becomes withdrawn and deeply lonely after a long, harsh winter, Hazel learns that horses, like people, need companionship and care beyond the basics. Through grit, love, and old-fashioned farm smarts, Hazel tends her garden to earn the money needed for training, vets, gear, and more. Along the way, she restores Buttercup's joy by rebuilding her herd and reminding the world what true partnership looks like. With heart, hustle, and a few carrots, Hazel proves that hard work and a whole lot of love can take you across the finish line-and maybe even into first place. A warm, inspiring story of resilience, responsibility, and the unbreakable bond between a girl and her horse. Reading Age:  6-12 Softcover:‎ 48 pages Size: ‎ 8.5 x 8.5 inches
