Quotes
"'You want me to ride you, don't you?' she whispered to Amia. 'You want to beat Jeremiah as much as I do!' Amia snorted and nodded in agreement. Amia was still young. Shine worried that the filly wasn't strong enough for a rider yet. But Amia nudged Shine with her nose, as if to hurry her." - Shine and Amia: ''Amia and the Ice Gems. ''

"Jeremiah flew over the stallion's head and landed in the prickly pile of branches. 'Ow!' he yelled furiously. Shine covered her mouth, trying not to giggle. Amia stamped and flicked her tail. Shine could swear the filly was laughing." - Jeremiah, Shine, and Amia: Amia and the Ice Gems 

"Amia pushed her nose past Shine and nearly knocked the plate out of Grandmother's hand. Jewel nickered. Amia and Jewel exchanged a look, and Amia took a step backward. Amia just got scolded for being rude, Shine thought with a smile." - Amia, Shine, and Jewel: ''Amia and the Ice Gems. ''

"She patted Amia. 'You're a very fast horse,' she said. 'We came very far!' Amia pushed past Shine and dashed outside. She gleefully kicked up snow as she frolicked like a playful puppy. 'I guess she was eager to get out of the cave,' Shine said with a laugh. 'She kept peeking outside and then going over to see if you were up yet,' Gertrude said. 'I guess she didn't want to go out without you.'" - Shine, Amia, and Gertrude: Amia and the Ice Gems
