where a main character is successful at something

To get from Eureka to Stillwater*, read a book:

When I was a young teenager, I helped my brother exercise some horses while the owners were gone for a week. I got stuck with the horse that had trained as a barrel racer. Scared me half to death. I haven't been comfortable on horses since.
