Showtym Adventures 7: Jackamo, the Supreme Champion

The seventh book in an exciting junior fiction series inspired by true stories from the Wilson Sisters’ childhoods. The race is on . . . will Vicki find a NEW champion?

In the seventh Showtym Adventure, it’s a race against time for Vicki to find and train a brand new pony for the show season. Should she go for experience, or for potential?

When Vicki’s multi-champion pony is injured, she is devastated. It’s the beginning of the show season and the 14-year-old must find a replacement quickly – but no pony comes close to the one she has lost.

Then Vicki sees beautiful and inexperienced Jackamo. She senses he has star quality, and chooses him over proven ponies with years of show-ring success. With so little time, will she be able to transform Jackamo into a winner? Or has she risked everything on the wrong pony?

In a turn of events they didn’t see coming, Vicki, Kelly and Amanda face heartbreak and difficult decisions about the future in this story inspired by the Wilson Sisters’ early years.
