On Top of the World follows a girl named Hope who lives an extremely troubled life and nothing ever seems to go her way. She lives with the perils of an abusive stepfather, self harm, and depression. Her only escape is horses. When her father was alive, he paid for lessons and she became a very good rider to the point where her father was going to buy her a horse. But he passed away, and her mother remarried her stepfather who wasn’t supportive in the slightest. So she was forced to become a working student, working every single day while balancing high school and home. It was the only way she could possibly afford to ride nice horses and show every so often. In fact, her trainer was about to give her the chance of a lifetime. Riding her top junior hunter. But one crazy night, a pony on his way to slaughter lands himself in their barn and instead Hope gets left on him. And she hated it, because he’s a stinker who likes to do things his way and doesn’t move all that great. But along the way they discover his wicked talent to jump. And Hope wants to get something done about that. But she has to deal with the struggles in her personal hell at the same time. Noa posted the first part of On Top of the World on June 20, 2012.
