Half Pass and Half Truths

De: Amy Simone

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

At this equestrian center, the aisles gleam, the chrome shines, and a world-famous clinician has arrived with a silk scarf, a silver smile—and a gospel of “classical purity.”

But the horses know better.

When Alaric von Breitenbach rolls into the barn preaching harmony and lightness, the humans swoon. The judges applaud. The social media feeds explode. Yet beneath the polished rhetoric and curated perfection lies a darker truth—one written in hidden devices, falsified training logs, and horses pushed past the edge for the sake of spectacle.

Dapper Dan, the barn’s sharp-eyed, sharper-tongued gelding, sees it all. So do Belladonna, Winston, and a handful of quietly observant humans who know the difference between real horsemanship and a beautifully packaged lie. As a high-profile public demonstration looms and careers, reputations, and horses’ bodies are put on the line, a silent alliance forms in the barn aisle.

Because half-passes can be faked.
But truth—especially when horses are involved—has a way of breaking free.

Witty, incisive, and unapologetically bold, Half-Pass & Half-Truths skewers ego, influencer culture, and abuse hidden behind “tradition,” delivering a razor-sharp dressage mystery where the horses are the smartest ones in the room—and silence is no longer an option.

If you love sharp humor, insider equestrian drama, and mysteries that refuse to look away from uncomfortable truths, step into the barn aisle and listen closely.
Read this and discover what happens when the horses decide the lie has gone far enough.
