Flying Dismount

Grabbing Mane Series, Book 2

De: Natalie Keller Reinert

Narrado por: Kathryn Lynhurst

Starting over was the hard part . . . right?

When Casey started riding again, she thought she'd nailed the tough part. That was before she tried starting over at a new farm, with a new job, in a new city. Casey's horse, James, seems happy enough at Twin Palms Ranch. And Casey's boyfriend, Brandon, is loving his dream job saving the ocean. Casey knows she should love her job marketing for a growing horse show organization. If only she had known how fast they'd be growing!

Suddenly, her weekends are full of flights to distant cities instead of hanging out with James. She doesn't seem to know anyone at her new barn. And Brandon—is Brandon wearing cowboy boots?

Casey thought she could have it all. Now, she can barely keep up. Can a working girl be a horse show girl, too?

For every equestrian who has ever tried to balance work and horses, and for every adult who has tried to hang onto a hobby, Flying Dismount is a relatable romp through the tangle of responsibilities and fun we call life.

A fun listen

Once again Natalie Keller Reinert nails it - horse girls and balancing a life w horses 🐴

A sequel as excellent as the original

I was so thrilled to discover this sequel and was not disappointed! This book was just as entertaining and relatable as the first

Enjoyable and relatable

I’m not sure how the author knows my life! I seriously struggle with the same issues and it was eerie reading about them in the first book and eerie again in this one! I loved reading such a relatable book. I love the depth of the characters, no stereotypes here! No good guys or bad guys, just people with various traits and who fits your life best. And horses!

Loved

Can’t wait for the next step in this series. This was very pulling in and wanting to know more.

Great book

Loved listening to this book. Well written and a great story line any horse lover would enjoy.

I wanted to like this book…

But the woman, Casey, in the story is just so unlikable. She is never happy with anything that happens and has a ridiculous superiority complex. She can barely ride her own horse, but is convinced that she should be training horses and coaching others. Constantly judging everyone around her. Wonderful things keep falling into her lap and she manages to make herself a victim in each incidence. I couldn’t recognize my barn experience in her description of growing up with horses - I hope people don’t really have those experiences. I can’t imagine how anyone would keep going on a tough, expensive sport without the friendship of other horse people. I gave up on this story without finishing the book.

Ugh Casey what happened?

I loved the first book in this series. In this second book Casey was so incredibly negative about everything. Fiction is supposed to be an escape from our own negative lives but this girl complained & was unhappy the whole book through. Definitely took me awhile to finish as I wasn’t looking forward to hearing her moan & complain.
