Synopsis: More than anything else Ellie wanted to be a trainer like Grandpa. She lived for the summers when she toured the horse show circuit with him, keeping house for him in his little trailer. She spent all her waking hours working with the horses, and best of all was the time spent with her own horse, Challenger. Challenger wasn’t just an ordinary horse. Besides being the best hunter in the world, he could almost think, and he and Ellie understood each other completely. Pam Morton, Grandpa’s new pupil, couldn’t have been less like Ellie. She was flighty. She wanted to be a movie actress and she didn’t care much about anything else. Her parents hoped they could get her interested in riding and Grandpa was to coach her for the horsemanship medal class. Ellie expected trouble from Pam, and she wasn’t entirely wrong, but amazingly enough the girls became fast friends. Their adventures led them to Madison Square Garden and an exciting climax that no young horse lover will want to miss.
