Dark Horses focuses on a fifteen-year-old equestrian prodigy named Roan Montgomery. Growing up, she’s only ever known her two worlds: the world of horseback riding and everything else. Her worlds are ruled by her father (who is also her coach), a strict man who demands obedience in all areas of her life. There is a warped power dynamic between the two that extends far beyond the stables with their relationship becoming inappropriate long ago. Roan is able to compartmentalize that part of her life and puts her full focus o becoming a rider at the Olympics, just as her father once had. She’s long been single minded, but that view will change when she meets Will, a boy her own age, who she develops a relationship with. A relationship that allows her to see outside of her narrow view. Roan’s story is one of raw courage and resilience that makes for a powerful and needed story.
