Books like Playing for Keeps by Suzanne Weyn

When Taylor Henry purchases the rundown Wildwood Stables, she sees a chance to turn her passion for horses into a profitable venture. With her new gelding, Prince Albert, by her side, she enlists his help to give riding lessons that will bring business to the stables. Prince Albert, however, is stubborn and only accepts rides from Taylor. The challenge forces Taylor to find a way to convince her horse to cooperate, all while navigating the uneasy dynamics with a rival who might be the key to saving the stables. Together, they explore friendship, perseverance, and the true meaning of earning one’s keep. Set in a bustling riding community, the story follows Taylor’s journey as she learns that business success and personal growth go hand in hand, and that sometimes the best partners come in unexpected packages.
