The $900 Mare

by Topline Performance

 
Nobody wanted her. He paid $900 anyway.

Last Chance was the kind of mare people walked past.

Scarred. Difficult. Unwanted. Standing in an auction ring with a history nobody knew and a future that looked even worse.

Wade Hollister wasn’t looking for a barrel horse that day. Once a talented competitor himself, Wade had walked away from the arena years ago, carrying failures and regrets he had no intention of revisiting. But when he sees the forgotten sorrel mare headed toward an uncertain fate, he raises his hand.

Nine hundred dollars.

That single bid changes everything.

Beneath Chance’s scars is something nobody at the auction could see—a fiercely talented barrel horse who hasn’t forgotten how to run. But speed was never her problem.

Trust was.

As Wade and his son Caleb slowly uncover the truth about Chance’s past, they discover a horse who was pushed too hard, run through pain, forced through fear, and eventually discarded when she stopped cooperating.

Wade refuses to make the same mistakes.

No forcing.
No shortcuts.
No chasing a stopwatch at the expense of the horse.

But when Chance begins choosing the barrels again, something incredible happens.

She starts winning.

The $900 Mare is an emotional, fast-paced barrel racing novel about an unwanted horse, a broken family, second chances, and the extraordinary things that can happen when someone finally chooses to listen instead of force.
