The Horse and the Crow: book 7 of the Miranda and Starlight series by Janet Muirhead Hill

Miranda, a spirited young equestrian with an unbreakable bond with her horses, is thrilled to attend the vibrant Crow Fair, a cultural celebration in Montana filled with rodeos, parades, and competitive horse racing. This year, she’s entered three of her finest horses, including her beloved filly, Shooting Star, a swift and spirited horse with a heart as fiery as Miranda’s own. The fair is a chance to showcase her skills, honor her connection with her animals, and immerse herself in the rich traditions of the Crow Nation. But disaster strikes when Shooting Star vanishes under mysterious circumstances. Determined to find her filly, Miranda, joined by her father, begins a desperate search into the rugged Pryor Mountains. Racing against time, she must balance her fierce determination with the wisdom to stay safe. Venturing beyond warnings to return to camp before dark, Miranda faces disaster: a crippling injury and the loss of her horse, Starlight. Stranded and alone, she is rescued by an unlikely ally, forcing her to confront her limits and discover the true strength of trust and resilience in the heart of the wild.
