  However, his father seems dead set against the idea. Ever since Dad came home from the war he's been like a ticking time-bomb, and Sid and his family don't know what to expect from one moment to the next. With money getting tighter by the day, and Dad becoming harder and harder to live with, Sid's dreams have never felt further away.

  With an older sister who has already sacrificed her own dream, Sid can’t resist the temptation to go all out. Deceiving his parents, Sid risks all - jeopardizing the very dream he longs for. Riding into danger, galloping to disaster, Sid’s exhilaration turns to terror.
