Crofton Meadows

Sheila Michaelson is the daughter of the stable manager for Crofton Meadows, an exclusive girls' school that offers riding instruction. She goes to the local high school, having been turned down for a scholarship to Crofton. Sheila also is an accomplished horsewoman and has raised and trained Jubilee, a chestnut mare belonging to the school. When Sheila is suddenly offered a scholarship, she's not happy, feeling awkward with the wealthy pupils, but in the end, accepts.
