Wednesday Riders is a continuation of the story of Meg Traherne and Jared Strickland. Meg is excited to be back on the island. She is looking forward to having her new mare at Jared’s. And she’s especially excited to be able to be just down the road from her boyfriend.
It’s wonderful to know that she’s working nearby and able to visit both her boyfriend and her horse. Meg settles into a routine on the island and finds that things couldn’t be going any better.
But it seems they could be going worse. In time, Jared drops a bombshell that Meg hadn’t expected at all. And yet, for her very attractive, wonderful boyfriend, Meg realises that she should have expected it, even though it dismisses his good character.
Meg finds her life in turmoil as she suddenly questions what to do with herself. All of a sudden she is single, working on an island near to where her boyfriend is, but not able to spend every waking moment with him. And she’s got a horse at his place. What is a girl to do?
Throw in alongside this, the fact that she gets along really well with Jared’s cousin, Lacey, and Meg finds that she struggles. She is very respectful of their past relationship, even though it hasn’t ended on good terms.
She does her best to not say anything negative about Jared or the situation that arose. In time Meg agrees to take on a riding group. This is to help Lacey with a project that the young teen is keen to carry out on horseback. Meg invests her time in these Wednesday riders, focusing on helping the four girls to work together to create a dressage routine.
This takes up a lot of time alongside the job that she has. In between this, Meg’s dealing with a broken heart and a broken relationship. She is surprised to find her mother a support – not the kind that she would expect at all – and she’s thankful for this motherly assistance, especially when she’s on the island far away from home and where her mother normally works.
As Meg continues life in an unexpected way, she eventually discovers that what she and Jared had wasn’t a fluke, and she should work hard to get it back. Wednesday Riders was a really enjoyable read, with the usual horse focus I have come to expect from Tudor Robins. Recommended.
