Riki and J.R.
The Big Bad Scary Mud Puddle
(Horse Tales Book 1)
Riki is afraid of puddles. Can J.R. show Riki that water can be fun?
Riki doesn't want to disappoint her rider, but when she comes across a dark puddle on the wooded trail, she is very afraid and rather run home than walk through the scary wet stuff.
J.R. is a western rodeo horse. He's new to the barn and doesn't have many friends. The other horses at the barn think he is different because he spins around in strange patterns.
But when the two horses meet, it's non-stop fun as J.R. shows Riki how to conquer her fears.
