My father, the veterinarian
(Book - Regular Print)

"Cody and his parents have recently moved from the ranch to a small town, where Cody's dad is starting a veterinarian practice. Unfortunately, it is off to a slow start, so, instead of helping her husband at the clinic, Cody's mom has taken a job at the bank. Cody, a freshman in high school, has to help out by working for his dad at the clinic after school and on Saturday mornings. Whenever he has the time, he hangs out with his Arabian gelding, Lance. But he thinks Lance is probably bored on school days, so he arranges to let Barb, who runs a horse therapy stable, use him as a therapy horse during the daytime. Cody doesn't make friends easily in his new school, but he thinks he will, if he can talk his parents into letting him try out for the JV basketball team. He was the star point-guard at his old school and loved it. But he is needed at the clinic during practice hours. Chloe, who also has a horse and has to pay for his keep by herself, arranges to take Cody's place at the clinic in exchange for any vet work her horse requires. This frees Cody to try out for the team. What happens on the court and at the clinic as well as with Lance leads to some exciting skirmishes."--Back cover.
