2022 EQUUS Arts Festival Literary First Place Award Winner

Will Emma have a chance at love and the new future she has worked so hard to build, or will an unknown stranger bent on destroying her life do so first?

Emma Walker’s life revolves around work, finishing her last year of college, and the thing she loves most – horses.
That is, until everything changes on one seemingly ordinary day when Emma receives information that turns her world upside-down.

Now, Emma is forced to make a decision that will change life as she knows it forever. A decision that will take her far from everything and everyone she’s ever known.

While Emma is fighting to create a new future for herself, she is surprised when someone from her past life back home shows up in the present. But his arrival is timed perfectly with a threatening note that has Emma on edge and wondering who she can trust.

And then there's Michael, the farm's live-in handyman, who has slowly become her friend and confidant despite his original aloofness. But is it just her, or is there a spark between them that she has been denying because of the complications of working together? Even considering the possibility of having feelings for Michael could threaten everything she’s working so hard for – not to mention the new relationship she just began with someone else.

But Emma is beginning to realize that the decision she made not only changed her life in ways she never anticipated, but that it has just put her directly in the path of someone has the power to threaten her future and everything she loves – not to mention her and horses’ lives.


(Clean equestrian romantic suspense series with no sexual content or foul language. Suitable for adults and young adults. This series is intended to be read sequentially.)


Editorial Reviews:

"Ocala, Wellington, suspense, a love triangle, and horses – does it get any better? No, it does not, and you’ll find all that and more in Sarah Welk Baynum’s debut novel, Impelled."
- An excerpt from the Horse & Style Magazine article by Laurie Berglie

"A suspenseful, romantic, page-turning story about a young woman's search for success in the Florida show jumping world. Emma Walker is starting a new life. One in which she lets go of everything to begin again, everything that is, except her love of horses. Impelled is a lovely debut novel that gets the horse facts right and is difficult to put down. I look forward to reading the next book in this series"
- Carly Kade, author of the "In the Reins" series and host of the Equestrian Spotlight Podcast

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sarah Welk Baynum has an extensive equestrian background which became the inspiration behind her debut novel “Impelled.”

While writing her novels, Sarah draws from previous experience as a working student, show groom, barn manager, working for FarmVet and other various jobs in the horse industry over the years both in her hometown and in Wellington & Ocala, Florida. Sarah also attended Otterbein University and majored in Equine Business and Facility Management.

Sarah still owns horses and actively competes in show jumping and three-day eventing, and horses have been a big part of her life since the age of twelve. Her first horse may have been a gelding, but she has a bias for mares and has primarily owned mares throughout the years.

Besides writing novels, Sarah also writes articles for The Equine Chronicle, The Plaid Horse, Sidelines, Off-Track Thoroughbred, and Horse & Style Magazines.

When she isn’t writing or riding, Sarah also enjoys competing in local and national singing competitions, and mainly sings country music.

Today, Sarah lives in her hometown just outside of Columbus, Ohio, with her family which includes her husband, her two dogs, two cats and her two mares Tilly (a warmblood) and Letty (an off the track thoroughbred).

Great read!!

Great read!!
This book sent me to sunny days and suspenseful arenas with every page I turned. For those horse girls and non horse girls alike, I always wanted to go to the barn and ride or just relax in the presence of horses after reading do much as a chapter or two in bed. The words wrap you up and transport you into a movie of the mind completing the experience with the sights, sounds, scents and emotions of Emma's life. I can't wait for book two so I can enjoy all of the emotion, action and heart warming moments of her next journey!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic first book!

What a fantastic story! I truly enjoyed Emma’s journey- how she handled a really hard wrench thrown into her life and chose a path nearly any horse obsessed young adult would dream of. The guys- one in particular- has me leaning in every time he’s on the page. And the horses! I’m in love with a couple of them and it was even better finding out they’re based on real-life horses 💗💗💗.
It makes me want to buy a bag of carrots and go down the line scratching, petting, and all around spoiling these guys. They felt so real.
I also loved the authenticity of Emma simply being grateful to ride high level horses without needing to compete on them herself. That’s real-life. Some of us are just grateful to be a part of their journey.
I highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for a horse person

I am always looking for horse novels, and ones that are focused around the horse experience. You see, I am an active horse crazy woman with a full time career outside of horses who can only ride and train on weekends. Reading horse books like this makes me feel like I am at the barn. This author clearly writes with knowledge of a working student, working with horses, and the Wellington horse screen. I love that the book does not have sex and foul language in it. It is appropriate for teens to adults. I loved the book and look forward to the entire series!

This was a fun story and it really is nice to read stories about the horse show world that are authentic, but the number of mistakes in the text was quite distracting. Did no one proofread this story? Someone help her out, please!

For those of us familiar with the horse show world in any form, this book is a MUST read! I loved reading about the Ocala and Wellington show jumping from the view of a first year intern. I could have done without the chase scenes by the bad guy, but it still made it a good read for those who are not horse crazy. I believe the next book in the series will be about eventing, which is my favorite form of "horse show". I am looking forward to reading the whole series.

Have to admit that I have a background in horses and could relate to the going’s on in this book. Not sure if someone who doesn’t have a background in horses would understand it. The story line was exciting. And I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with an equestrian background.
