Show Circuit Series: Series aimed firmly at teens with a strong romance element. Not suitable for younger children due to adult content.
1) SUMMER CIRCUIT (STAFFORD ROAD [USA] 2015) Paperback original SUMMARY: It's the summer before college. Hannah Waer is on her own at the seven-week summer horse show circuit in Vermont. Her father wants her to learn independence and responsibility so she has to take care of her own horse: which might not be a problem if she'd ever picked out a stall, or prepared a horse for the ring. It also doesn't help that her horse won't jump. When Hannah crashes (literally) into gorgeous and accomplished grand prix rider, Chris Kern, on her first day at the show she's certain her life is over. In fact, it's just beginning.
2) WINTER CIRCUIT (STAFFORD ROAD [USA] 2015) Paperback original SUMMARY: Hannah has had to say goodbye to her first love Chris Kern, and head off to college. But once she's there, she can't stop thinking about Chris competing in Florida all winter along with his ex girlfriend, Mary Beth. Hannah is determined to join them in Wellington for the Winter Circuit, but when she finally gets there, it's not everything she hoped it would be. Chris is busy and stressed, trying to rebuild his career and Mary Beth seems set on winning him back.
3) HUNTER DERBY (STAFFORD ROAD [USA] 2016) Paperback original SUMMARY: Follows the story of Hannah's friend Zoe. When she turned eighteen and became professional, Zoe Tramell's life unraveled. Once one of the top junior riders in the country, now she has no horses to show, debts to pay off, and a court-ordered community service at a therapeutic riding center, Narrow Lane. When Zoe starts working at Narrow Lane, she's certain she will hate every minute of her time there. But she begins to see how horses can be important beyond the show ring. She also finds a derby horse in the barn of a local trainer, John. Gidget has all the talent to win on the 'A' Circuit and Zoe wants to take the mare all the way to Derby Finals. If she can put herself back in the winner's circle, she's sure top barns will be clamoring to hire her. But when she finds herself falling in love with John, she has to ask what's more important: re-establishing herself as a top rider, or finally being with a good man.
4) HUNTER DERBY (STAFFORD ROAD [USA] 2017) Paperback original SUMMARY: Hannah and Chris have been apart ever since the winter circuit ended. It's now fal, nearly a year later. Hannah is at college, making new friends and riding on the IHSA team. Chris is recently back from Europe and competing in the east coast fall shows in hopes of qualifying for the World Cup Finals. Both are trying to forget about each other and move on with new people. But as Autumn turns to winter, forgetting about each other becomes harder and harder for Chris and Hannah. Will they be able to stick to their plans to live their own lives, or will they come back together?
