About This Book

Cole moves in with his dad and dreams of riding alongside Philadelphia's urban cowboys with his horse, Boo. When he takes a job as a stable hand at a prestigious polo academy, he faces snobby players and tough challenges but finds an unexpected friend in Ruthie, the team’s determined first female player. Together, they navigate rivalry, hard work, and difficult choices while Cole imagines a future where he belongs.
