Book Description
Kiana, a keen equestrian at Valley of the Hills stables, is not chosen as a team member for the Pony Games Championship at the Festival of Horses. But, inspired by the enthusiasm of a young, disabled rider, Kiana and her best friend Kate form their own team of five riders. The five young equestrians spend the summer training for the big event, with gallops on the beach and some wonderful adventures along the way. These losers, as they are labeled, form a lifelong friendship while they learn the importance of supporting each other and growing as a team. The saying that attitude is everything holds true as they work through the obstacles holding them back from success. They learn the life lesson that winning is not so important after all, and that what you put in to life is what you get out of it.

These comparative studies focus on the relationship between war and games in an effort to achieve an understanding of the phenomenon of war, in order ultimately to avoid it.

The purpose of this comparative study is to focus on the relationship between war and games by highlighting their differences and similarities in an effort better to understand the phenomenon of war. Americans and Europeans contribute studies on war and games in ancient Greece, the lack ofmilitary games in Byzantium, jousts in the middle ages, 'flower wars' and the Aztec and Maya ball game, games in pre-industrial societies and their relation to war, and aspects of computer and video games.
