Nine Lives: (Pony Jumpers #9)

AJ’s broken collarbone has finally healed, and she’s back on board her beloved pony Squib at last – just in time for the last competition of the show jumping season. As she pushes herself to get back to where she was before, AJ finds herself facing a whole host of new challenges with the horses and humans in her life. After Katy's difficult new horse Tori is injured in a paddock accident, it falls to AJ to take care of her, and despite her initial reservations, she quickly develops a bond with the headstrong mare.

But nobody else likes the horse, and Katy is facing increasing pressure to cut her losses and sell Tori to the highest bidder. AJ is determined not to let her friend give up on the mare, certain that there is something going on that everyone has missed, if only she can figure out what it is…

Can AJ convince her best friend to give her troubled horse one last chance?

PONY JUMPERS:
Follow the adventures of AJ, Katy, Susannah and Tess as they train and compete their ponies on the National Show Jumping circuit. Whether they have an unschooled pony and tack held together with duct tape, or a string of top-quality show jumpers, these girls all have one thing in common - a love for the sport, and a lot of love for their ponies.

Each book in the Pony Jumper series is told from the perspective of the four main characters and ties into the books that have gone before. Set in New Zealand, the series incorporates information about training and riding show jumpers that will give help and guidance to readers, as well as each telling a great story! This is the third book told from AJ's point of view.
