Hoofbeat to Heartbeat

This is the title of B.J.'s second book, which is in progress; publication sometime in March, if all goes well! It is a story of healing, achieved through the remarkable bond with an exceptional horse named Knight Shadow. Here is a brief introduction:

"His career destroyed by a crippling injury, young rodeo champ Joel Garrett unwillingly faces life outside the showring. Riding had once been as easy as breathing, but now every step is painful, every breath an effort.  Desperate for a future, he finds himself at a rundown barn in the middle of nowhere where he meets an old man equally broken by life, a boy struggling under the shadow of abuse, and a horse that could restore them all. Together they forge a dream of greatness, but nothing in Joel's previous life has prepared him for the destruction that follows his past finally meeting his present."
