Dylan knows it isn't always easy being the niece of the new Director of Riding, Ali Carmichael. After the Chestnut Hill girls don't perform as well as they could have at an All-School League Show, Ali treats it as a learning opportunity, but some upperclassmen think the team would have fared better under the old Director, Liz Mitchell. Soon after the show, rumors begin flying that Liz is trying to get her old job back. When a petition to replace Ali with Liz starts to circulate, Dylan and her friends can't believe it! Can they defend Ali from the conspiracy against her?
