Diablo: My Dream Horse
by Whitney
(Arlington, TX, USA)
There is this girl named Ricki and her dad is constantly nagging her to improve her grades in school. But Ricki is having a hard time concentrating in class. And her mom's very busy with her job and hardly any time to sit and talk with her daughter.
Life for her is difficult but it's not her parents that is on her mind, it's Diablo. This beautiful horse is being seriously mistreated by his owner and Ricki decides she will be the one to do something about it. But when Ricki's mom forbids her to set foot in the stables, Ricki is absolutely devastated.
Ricki's passion for Diablo is too strong, and she takes the matter into her own hands, which means running the risk of saving Diablo from his cruel owner and disobeying her own mother.
But not even in her worst nightmares could Ricki have imagined what is in store for her. Diablo's owner is not only cruel to animals, he also has no qualms about attacking people too!
