Story description is missing from automatic entry. Back cover:

"Colt Vittorio has never run a race, or even walked down the street on his own. Having spina bifida means that he sees the world from a wheelchair, and he hates being different from other kids. Then his mother signs him up for a riding program. Colt feels tall and fast on his horse, and it seems as if his dreams are coming true --- until an accident threatens his newfound freedom. Will he ever be allowed to ride a horse again?"

School Library Journal review on back cover:
"Readers will be affected by Colt's triumphs and failures . . . . An uplifting story."
