Anvil and Angel

A Dressage Holiday Comeback Story

By: Amy Simone

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Step into the snowy world of Snowy Vale Rescue Farm where the scent of peppermint mixes with impending humiliation and the desperate hope of a Christmas miracle. Meet Ivy Sinclair, once dubbed 'Dressage's Fallen Angel', now haunted by a career-ending crash and grappling with panic attacks.
She has just twelve days to train the challenging Lipizzan stallion, Silent Night – a horse with his own hidden traumas, possibly from being smuggled out of a war zone – for a crucial Christmas Eve freestyle gala. The stakes couldn't be higher: the rescue farm faces foreclosure if they don't win the grand prize.
Adding to the chaos is Ivy's ruthless rival, Celeste DuChamp, who specializes in viral sabotage, attempts to weaponize Ivy's mental health, and even steals Silent Night. Ivy finds an unexpected anchor in Connor O’Rourke, a stoic, broad-shouldered farrier with storm-gray eyes and a past as a combat engineer in the Army. As they navigate stolen advent mantras, forge new shoes in the dark, and confront their own deep-seated fears and injuries, they discover that bravery isn't the absence of fear; it's riding anyway.
Will Silent Night find his perfect rhythm and overcome his fear of loud noises and crowds? Can Ivy trust Connor enough to let him be her anchor and partner? And in a world filled with chaos and doubt, can a wounded horse, a fallen angel, and a scarred farrier dance anyway to secure their second chance and save Snowy Vale?Unwrap this heartwarming tale of hope, healing, and holiday magic! Discover if love, grit, and a little Christmas magic can make dreams come true.
