Blue Ribbon Black Feed

Mara knows horses, hard work, and the quiet politics of a world where legacy families, polished rivals, and high-dollar breeding deals can turn a competition ring into a battlefield. When a magnificent champion horse suddenly goes lame just moments before a major class, officials are quick to call it an accident and move on. But Mara knows what she saw—and so does her sharp-sensed dog, Gus.

As whispers spread through the fairgrounds and powerful people close ranks, Mara follows a trail that smells wrong from the very start. What she uncovers points to something far uglier than bad luck: a deliberate act meant to destroy a horse’s future and crush the people depending on him. Now, with time running short and no one in authority eager to dig deeper, Mara and Gus must sniff out the truth before the culprit disappears into the crowd.

Blue Ribbon, Black Feed is a gripping mountain mystery packed with horse-world tension, small-town rivalries, high-stakes secrets, and the kind of loyal animal companion readers will adore. Step into the stables, follow the clues, and start reading today.
