Riding Chance

Christine Kendall

After his mother dies, thirteen-year-old Troy struggles in his Philadelphia neighborhood. When he and his friend Foster are caught stealing, they are offered a juvenile-offender program at city stables, where they clean stalls and may learn to ride. Troy develops an affinity for horses and gradually learns mutual trust with Chance, the horse he cares for. The program’s leaders recognize his potential and involve him in their all-Black polo team, while Troy also navigates friendship and a new romantic interest.
