The Horsemasters
The world of show jumping is glamorous to outsiders and a way of life to those at the centre, with surprises around every corner. The greatest glory is to be found in the States, where there is more at stake for the riders than mere money: pride, reputation, career are all at risk - and more. Polly Morgan is battling her attraction to errant team-member Dan Roberts, at a time when Bill Simpson is waiting for her answer to his marriage proposal. Howard Meak's marriage is on the rocks due to his long-standing love for Chrissy Campbell. And in the midst of Tom Cummings's desperate financial troubles, Anne Neville - Dan's lost love - appears at the just right moment to turn Tom's life around. But someone is out to destroy the team's chances in the competition - or worse. It seems now that the very lives of the team and the horses are at risk and no one feels safe. The ultimate target could be anyone, as could the saboteur...
