Riki is afraid of puddles. Can J.R. show Riki that water can be fun? Riki doesn't want to disappoint her rider, but when she comes across a dark puddle on the wooded trail, she is very afraid and rather run home than walk through the scary wet stuff.

Featuring vibrant full color illustrations, a bit of humor, and highlighting themes of friendship, diversity, and perseverance, this delightful story about these two friends is great for ages 3 to 8 but sure to charm horse lovers of all ages. Based on two real life horses, readers have the opportunity to write to the real Riki and J.R. and receive a letter in return.
