FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
Becky Edwards wants to become a horse trainer more than anything else in the world. She moves to Del Mar and goes to the Doubletree ranch, looking for any kind of work that will include horses. She is befriended by Melanie Young, team leader and their trainer, Karen Evans and before long she's working with Karen. That doesn't sit well with all the team members and a whispering campaign begins.
Suspicious tongues start to wag when a valuable figurine belonging to Billy Martin comes up missing and fingers point to the newcomer. Although exonerated, Becky feels betrayed, and knowing she'll never really be a team member, she starts to pull away from Karen and the team.
That's just the beginning of her adventures along the road to fulfilling her dreams.

Bad girl Emily Goss has a crush on Steve Bianchi, which doesn't sit well with his girlfriend, Becky Edwards, or the rest of the Doubletree riding team.
Known throughout the horse community for her cruelty to her horses and bad sportsmanship, the kids reject her efforts at friendship. Jealous and angry, Emily decides to exact revenge by causing Becky to lose her big class. When the kids figure out how Emily spooked Becky's horse, Jessi Evans returns the trick, causing Emily to slide off her horse. The battle escalates.

As they board, Melanie Young heads for the bathroom and her friend, Blair Evans, accompanies her. In the interim, pirates swarm from below decks and hijack the Sea Nymph.
It's one thing after another as the Doubletree team prepares for their year end Championship show.

HIGH HURDLES
Not only is Larry a great rider with a fun, outgoing personality, he's very handsome and it's love at first sight for Melanie Young. Beautiful, smart and popular, it would only make sense for him to reciprocate her feelings, and he wants to, but sometimes wanting and doing are poles apart.
With both reluctance and relief, he admits to his new friends he's gay. He's pleasantly surprised when they accept his statement without condemnation. Their main concern is for Melanie.
Larry Kline is the newest member of the Doubletree Team. He brings his talented mare, Connie, to the barn and joins the lessons. The team is impressed and readily accepts him as a new member.
RIDING HIGH
Billy Martin scores eight tickets to the Olympic Team Equestrian Trials in Las Vegas and the Doubletree show team is ecstatic as they prepare to attend the prestigious competition.
World famous riders and their horses converge on the Thomas and Mack Center to vie for the championship title. As the Trials get under way, the teens are surprised to see Yoli Navarro, a familiar competitor from home, enter the ring. She rides well enough to finish third on opening day and the kids cheer her on, hoping she can continue her winning streak.
Late that night, an old friend calls in a favor, and Becky Edwards goes to the show barn to braid some horses for the next day's classes. While working, she overhears two men talking about drugging a horse. One voice is familiar, but at first she can't place it.
After the men leave, she checks out the horse, surprised to see it's Sirocco, a well-known and highly ranked Grand Prix competitor. The huge mare seems unaffected by whatever the men gave her, so Becky shrugs it off.
The next day, Sirocco is eliminated from the competition for steroid violations. Even worse, Yoli is killed in a freak jumping disaster. Unhappy with the police verdict of accidental death and suspicious about the quality of her riding performance, Billy buys the show tape of Yoli's round and the kids go back to their hotel to check it out. Horrified, they watch in slow motion as the tragedy repeats itself on their TV screen. They decide her death was no accident, and determined to find out what really happened the kids go sleuthing.
They discover a side of showing they never knew existed and set a trap for some underworld mobsters. In the process, they also reel in a cold-blooded killer they once called friend.
