Secrets that are all her own. And secrets her parents are keeping from her that could change everything about her life. One thing thats not a secret is how much Ellen wants to jump--to feel herself on a horse as it soars through the air, smooth and fast. The horse shes riding these days is Hot Potato--a pony she can trust, a pony she can practice jumping with. But he cant possibly be as interesting as Ned, can he? And will her parents secret take her away from the stable forever?
