When Lisa Atwood's mother decides that she should she shoulod ride at Pine Hollow Stables, Lisa doesn't like the idea. On her first lesson there she finds some strange things at the stable. Carole Hanson, who is totally disorginized at school, is the best rider there and doesn't put a hoof pick out of place. And someone slams the door on her first lesson and the horse spooks. Carole watched the lesson and sees that Lisa is a natural rider. Then Lisa meets Stevie lake, Carole's best friend. Stevie's about to be bann from a wonderful Pine Hollow trip, the MTO (Mountain Trail Overnight) unless she improves her math grade. Stevie plays a prank on Lisa, causing the girl's mind to lead her to the fact that Stvie slammed the door. But Stevie didn't do it. Lisa wants to be Carole's friend but doesn't want to be friends with Stevie. So she starts hanging out with Veronica diAngelo, the stable snob and the one who actually did slam the door on Lisa. Pretty soon Stevie's desperate for help, Lisa's hating Veronica, and Carole's stuck in the middle, trying to help them both. Then they each get a little help from a very surprising sorce.

I love the Saddle Club series.
I love the Saddle Club series. I think any horse crazy person who likes to read would like this book, and series also. In this book, Horse Crazy, Carole Hanson and Stevie Lake meet a new girl, Lisa Atwood, and they don't think she'll fet in. But Lisa shows herself to be a good rider, and the three girls become best friends. They love horses so much, that they formed The Saddle Club. If I have anything to say about this book: it is the best horsey book in the world! No, I should correct myself, the best book ever published.

Great book!
Very good book! Carole and Stevie are best friends, and they are going to go on a Mountain Trail Overnight (MTO) togther. However, Stevie's parents say that they won't pay for it unless her grades go up. (It costs $50 to go) Now Stevie has decided that she can't possibly get her grades up, so she is going to earn the $50 herself! Lisa Artwood is also riding at the stables while Stevie is trying to earn the money. She is new, and has never ridden a horse before. Carole likes her but Stevie doesn't. Veronica (the snob) wants to add her to her "collection" of friends, and Lisa feels mixed up about it. Worth buying, reading, and never putting it down! Stevie isn't quite as funny in this book though, she has always been one of my favorite charachters.

First Saddle Club Wonderful
Saddle Club, Horse Crazy is a fun book about girls and horses. Stevie, the prank puller is trying to earn money for a Overnight Stable sleepover. Carole, Stevie's best friend, and Stevie also meet Lisa and they definatly don't hit of as friends at first.
It is the first of a wonderful, that I advise for young, girl horse lovers.

the best book ever published

On Lisa's first lesson somebody slams the door and caused the horse to run wild. then on Lisa second lessson stevie leaves of the stirrup and Lisa starts to cry.

Great but very emotional
This is a WONDERFUL book. I love Saddle Club books and I wish I could read them all. But I can't because I can't find any of them. I have read all of the books in my school library and the public libraries. In this book Veronica DiAngalo a snobby rice girl owns a beutiful thourobreed named Colbalt. Carole (a memdber of the Saddle Club) is in love with him. While Veronica can't take care of her horse Carole exercises Colbalt and even teaches him some new trickes. When Veronica's carelessness cause Colbalt his life Carole thinks she will never ride again. When she comes back to the stables she finds out that the horse she usually rides is going to foal and Colbalt is the father! This is an exciting book and I would recomend it to anyone who loves horses.

Horse Shy
This book was number two of the Saddle Club. It is about a tragic jumping accident with Colbalt caused by Veronic's carelessness. Carole is heart broken and promised herself that she would never ride again. She stuck to this pretty long too. As she was getting over never riding again her best friends, Steve and Lisa, told her she didn't finish a job. Carole always finished things. When she finally came around and decided to ride again she found out her horse she had been riding was going to have a baby and Colbalt is the father

a good light read
Carole is really happy after the Mountain Trail Overnight. Her horse is great, and she gets to help Veronica with Cobalt. Then Veronica rushes Cobalt over a jump and he dies. Carole's whole world comes crashing down, but Stevie and Lisa are amazed that one horses death can keep her from ridng. This is like many other death-of-a-horse books out there: the horse dies, the girl vows never to ride again, then a magic event turns her bak onto riding. But its good! Really good! They shouldve' ended the SC after about 50 books. They start to loose their originality. Most of the plots are: Veronica's a brat, can the saddle club pay her back? or Sonso rides better than Saddle Club member_____...is she jealous, and--that's pretty much it ...

Goodbye Cobolt...
Carole, Stevie, and Lisa on finally on the long awaited MTO! They have so much fun, they never want it to end. When they get back, though, Carole is given premission to take care of Veronica's beautiful stallion, Cobolt. Everything's perfect. That is, until Carole gets back from her vacation and is rushed to the barn. It's horrible when she gets there. Cobolt is dead.

After the incident, Carole swears that she'll never ride again. Lisa and Stevie know that Carole loves horses too much to give them up forever. But what can they do?

While this is all happening, Stevie and Lisa are keeping their promise and trying to find out who Max the first really was. The old man is impossible to find info on, though!

Read this book if you want to read a sad, happy, fun, and mishcevious story. Great again, Ms. Bryant!

Good
Thiis book was very good, but I found the part about Carole not wanting to ride dragged on for a bit too long. It was good, overall, and the first part of the story was really fun! I reccomend all Saddle Club books! ... Read more

Awsome, Must read book!
This is one of the very best saddle club books i have ever read! It tells so much information about horses and how to deal with losing loved ones. It is an inspiring book and when your finished you feel like you dont want it to end. This is a real tearjerker. A must have book!

horse girl
This is all about Carole, a member of the Saddle club. Carole, being totally horse crazy, keeps journals and diaries about her horse's training and her own personal thoughts and feelings. As she is sifting through her old journals one day, she comes across her diary. the diary that contians all her feelings and thoughts from when her mother died. Is she ready to reread those thoughts and feelings and relive the sadness? A definatly must read book.

FANTASTIC!!!
This book was great! You have to read it! I liked how it talked about Carole's mother and Carole's feelings about things. In the other books, it doesn't really talk about the girls feelings, but this one does. I also liked that it showed how Stevie and Carole became best friends. You must read this book!!!

The inner person
I thought that this was an excellent book. So often when I read the Saddle Club books I find myself wondering what Carole, Lisa and Stevie are thinking as they go through their adventures. This book helps you understand the characters so much better. After reading this book, I can't wait to read the other two.

this book is so cool
This had to be the greatest book on the face of the earth.It was so good.I definitely reccomend reading it.It's better than the other inside stories.Those talked about the exact same stuff in the S.C. books.This one talked about Carole's mom too.

P.S. The back of this book said it was about books 34 through 40.Well it wasn't,it was about books 34 through 42.Typo I guess. ... Read more

Wonderful
I loved the book. If you like jumping and alot of adventures your looking for Gold Medal horse. Bonnie Bryant did great on this book. I've read alot of Saddle club books and this is the one for me. It's about them all. How Nigel gets nervous before he starts his course. I couldn't belive how wonderful this book was.

Pretty Interesting
In this book the Saddle Club goes to the Kentucky Rolex to watch their friends' horse Southwood jump to try out for the Olympics. His owners don't think he is ready to be pushed hard, but a horse who never had a chance changes his mind. Southwood jumps extremely well and makes the Olympic team. It was a little boring and didn't have much of a plot. Good, but not one of the best.

think one thing see another
In this story the girls of the Saddle Club realize that they might just have to give something ( or someone I should say ) a chance! But when not giving this person a chance they were also having fun and that's the important thing. This book really comes alive and I recommend it to Saddle Club fans!

A very good book for horse lovers
This book was a very good story about a horse with a big heart. The horse in this story, 'Southward', never gave up, he just kept on trying. I loved this story, it was well told by Bonnie Bryant, collect the series. ... Read more

An excellent book of the Saddle Club series...
For winter break, Carol Hanson finds out she is going to Florida for Mid-winter break to her cousin's house. She is really excited, and although she will miss her horse, Starlight, she knows her two best friends and other members of the Saddle Club (Lisa and Stevie) will take care of him. Carol's cousin, Shiela, loves horses, but she owns a pony that is alittle oo small for her (since she is 16). She doesn't want to part with her beloved pony, and her parents are trying to convince her to get a 'real' horse. Then, while playing at the beach, Carol gets caught in a riptide. Can Shiela's pony prove itself worthy by saving Carol?

This is a great book, I think one of the best Saddle Club books I've read. If you've never read Saddle Club books before, the author (Bonnie Bryant) makes it so you can start anywhere in the series without getting confused, so you can read this book first if you wish! A great book for people anywhere between 10 and 15, but if you are younger or older than that, I'm sure you'd love it, too!

WOW!!!!!!!!
This was a very very good book. You really should read it if you are as horse crazy as I am.

GOOD BOOK
This was a really good book. I definitly reccomend it. It was really thrilling! YOU MUST BUY IT! ... Read more

Book Description

A new rider is stealing Carole's spotlight.

Zachary Simpson has only just started riding at Pine Hollow, but everyone is totally impressed by his natural talent. Everyone except Carole Hanson, that is. She's glad that he seems to love riding, but she's a little uncomfortable at how much attention he's getting from everyone else in Pony Club. Is Carole just jealous? And is Zach a mere flash in the pan, or is he the real thing? The upcoming Pony Club competition should give Zach a chance to show everyone what he's capable of and answer those questions.

But Zach falls apart, and the show is a disaster. Then he announces that he's going to quit riding. Suddenly it's up to Carole to remind Zach of all the things that make riding and horses so special. Can she convince him to get back in the saddle? ... Read more

really great
This book was great it had three really cool events. One revolved around a pregnant mare,one was with stevie and the other had to do with a new rider named zach. i got this book for christmas and didn't think it was going to be good but when i started reading it, I though it was great. This was one of my favorite Saddle club books. It felt like three different stories all together. I loved it

cool book
I LOVE all horse books and have read all the Saddle Clubs and Thoroughbred books. This one was like the others, but since I know all the charactres so well it was fun to read. A REALLY good horse book and mystery is Shadow Horse. WAY cool and a good sumer read for fun.

Jealousy will get you no where
When Carole learns how good the new rider is at their stable she becomes a little jealous and loses sight of what really matters. In fact her jealousy of this new rider makes her forget her responsibility of a new horse at pine hollow and almost causes a disaster which is only solved when she and the new rider get together to help and a mare and foal out of a tricky situation. Carole and the new rider decide to start over and eventually become friends when the new rider decides he does not want to ride in competions but just for fun Carole does her best to show him that it is alright just to ride for fun and not for competition

The Saddle Club
I haven't read this particular book, but I have read every other Saddle Club book in the series, and I loved every one. the saddle club series are about 3 girls Carole Hanson, Stevie Lake, and Lisa Atwood. They are very different except for 1 thing, they all love horses. Stevie loves to ride her horse Belle,and to play practical jokes on her 3 brothers and her rival, the spoiled brat Veronica DiAngelo. But Stevie is a very disciplined dressage rider. She barely manages a C average in school, wheras Lisa is a straight A student, who is the newest rider of the 3. She doesn't own a horse, but she rides a school horse Prancer all the time. Carole is the most horse crazy of the 3. She knows the most, and can sometimes go on and on about somehing Stevie and Lisa already know! She's very organized about anything to do with horses, but is very flaky with anything that doesn't. Stevie and Lisa have a toothbrush just for Carole when she comes for a sleepover because she never remembers it! She has a horse named Starlight and is a terrific jumer. Although I haven't read this book, I insist you read it. All the Saddle Club books are terrific! ... Read more

The book was very exciting and emotional
Caroles dad has gone on a top secret mission and Carole is staying with Lisa. But Lisa is boring her with German history.Meanwhile Stevie is on the verge of discovering an under ground railroad.Then a special horse at Pine Hollow gets sick with a fatal illness. Can the Saddle Club's worst nightmares come true?

Saddest one so far!
I found this book a great one but also a VERY sad one. Delilah is found to maybe contracted a diesese called Swamp fever. Will Carole save her? or will delilah slip threw Carole's fingers? Every single time I read this I cried. Great Book! go buy or read it! It's a must for all horse Crazy people. It also tell's you how hard It can be to lose a loved one.

I LOVE this book!!
This was one of of my favorite SC books of all time! I wasn't suprised to find Carole worrying over her Dad, but she got a little hysterical at times. This book was so good, I couldn't put it down for a second. I would recomend this book to anyone who loves horses, just be prepared!

I thought this book was great.
I love this book, but I got confused between this and other books. In this book, it says that Carole can stay in Lisa's brother's bedroom because he is at collage. But in the book Western Star on page 160 (the last sentance) Lisa says there are some advantages of being an only child. In the Starlight Christmas on page 13 at the top it says that Lisa bought a sweater for her brother. This is confusing. In the begining of most of the books it says she is an only child. What happened?

A great, but very emotional book!
Nightmare was an excellent novel. It was very emotional. I have read many books in the saddle club series and this is one of the best! Ms. Bryant explains everything pretty well in this novel, as she does in most of her novels. I recomend this book to everyone. If you are horse-crazy, than this is the book for you. ... Read more

A disappointment
This book was very bad. I thouhgt that it was one of the worst Saddle Club books. But that's my opinion. Read it and see or yourself.

Good book
I read this book, and I loved it. I think it doesn't matter if the book is about horses, but if it is a good BOOK. This WAS a very good book, and very well told. It's still a horse series, but a change is fun once in awhile.

this was an o.k book
Chocolate horse is a good book and was a normal saddle club book. Read it and enjoy.

Poor, poor Stevie
When Stevie's twin brother suddenly takes ill Stevie vows to be the perfect sister.She does her school work, helps around the house without complaining.But she doesn't have any time for her friends or riding.Carol and Lisa want to help but just don't seem to be able to get through to her.Maybe her brother can do it.

a horse-lover's review of a four star book
This was a pretty good book. I did find it a little far fetched, though. I don't think that jumping in Western was very realistic even if you were caught in a raging forest fire. Also,I found one of their companions portrayed as a little too snobby. I think this book was definently worth reading.

A Trip That We ALL Will Remember!!
What a tirrific surprise to be invited to come back to Kate's dude ranch, The Bar None!! Only this time they will do more than just hang out, their going on a pack trip with three riders that they don't know. When all was said and done it was time to head for the trail. Moutain trail that is. The bar none's horses(that they had last time) are there and their old friend, Eli, is their wrangler! What can go wrong! But wait maybe something can go wrong. Carol and Stevie have to find a way to save Lisa from her new "friends" fast, but how? While trying to figure this problem out another one quickly pops up. How are they going to make it? how can they get rid of the pesky twosome? and how are they going to get Lisa back? I found it so exciting that I couldn't put it down!! I LOVE THIS BOOK! I've always wanted to write and ride. Bonnie Bryant's books are completely inspirational and I don't even read that much. I pick this up and well let's just say that the overwhelming pile of Saddle Club books, doesn't look like enough any more. I learn quite a bit, have a really great story to read, and I never get bored! These books are great! So, ON YOUR MARKS! GET SET! BUY AND READ!!

Wilderness Adventure
The book I read was very good because it teaches you about horses, and how to take care of them. It's an age appropriate book, and I think other 12 yr. olds interested in horses would enjoy it. The characters in the book are on a pack trip in the mountians. This book also has a moral, which is never try to do a book report, and be in the wilderness at the same time.

Great
The Saddle Club, Stevie, Lisa and Carole are invited on a five night wilderness ride with Kate, Eli, Jeannie, and three others, John. Amy, and her brother Seth. From the beginning of the trail ride, everyone except Lisa can see Amy is dangerous. She gallops a horse down a hill, nearly injuring him, dives into an unfamiliar lake, and more, including almost getting Stevie, Lisa, Seth and herself lost with a "broken ankle". Lisa, however, is convinced that Amy's problem is her parents. Every time Amy does something, Seth comes running, with Lisa on his heels, convinced that she's the one who can make Amy's world right for her. It takes nearly getting killed by a forest fire to put Lisa's mind straight. A night filled with smoke and danger leads Lisa to see how foolish she was acting. A must read. Buy it, and I can guarentee you will love it.

The Saddle Club is going on a five day trip with Eli, Jeanne, Kate, Christene, and some others. Amy, one of them, is reckless and dangerous, and her older brother Seth is going down with her.

This was a great book!
This book was great. I like the part were they were galloping in the morning and Lisa thought that Phil or Stevie had gotten hurt when she didn't see them when they got to the top of the hill. I also like it when they were on the walk and Stevie almost fell! This book was so cool it was funny to I had my friends laughing the hole time we were riding our horses. It was kind of weried when Stevie and Phil were always on oppsite teams. This book was cool and even if your not a Stevie-fan this book talks about Lisa and how she has to do something for school and it talks about carole and how she has to help the younger riders. I liked this book and I know that if your a horse-fan you'll like it to.

The book is the best!
I think the book was great! It's about when the saddle club's going on the MTO (Mountain Trail Overnight) and this time Phil's coming along too! Stevie is really exited, but when Jo Novick comes and asks Stevie to help him with his horse, Phil sees and gets Jealous. So he goes and helps Betsy Cavangh, and Stevie is not really happy with him. Things go from bad, to worse when the MTO starts. I thought it was funny when Carole dreamed of swatting giant Mosquitoes and instead hit Stevie in real life instead! I recomend this book to peale who love horses!

cool,fun, what more could you want???!!!!
It's been nearly 2 years since I read this book. But I remember that it was good! The thing I remember most about it, though, was on the M.T.O. (Mountain Trail Overnight), Carole had a funny dream about giant mosquitos, and she was trying to hit them. She ended up hitting Stevie in real life, instead of mosquitos in the dream! Overall, this is a great book and you should get it!

Good Book
I have read this book at least twice and it is ok.this isn't the only time Stevie's been jealous over her boyfriend, Phil.In the book, Phil comes to MTO(Mountain Trail Overnight) and he meets Betsy. This spells trouble when Stevie gets mad. Teddy (Phil's horse) spooks and Stevie and Topside come to help.

Could Phil and Stevie be serious about breaking up?

good,but the facts are fake
I thought this book was really good.However,the thing Max said about how it's bad to let your horse eat wet grass is not true.Because at the barn where I ride the horses eat wet grass and not a one of them has ever gotten sick from the grass.I think that B.B. needs to do a little bit more research on her so-called "facts" before she writes them down in her books.

I still like the book. ... Read more

Flying Horse
I have read many books by Bonnie Bryant, but I would have to say that "flying horse" is my favorite. I can relate so well to this book because I have horses, and at one time wanted to win more than anything....I would recommend this book to anyone that thinks that winning is everything because it isn't. Bonnie Bryant writes really good stories that I think many people could relate to because they deal with everyday situations.

An okay book.
I have two friends and we are the Stable Club, a club like the Saddle club. I read this Saddle Club book from the library and it was good. But I do think that Stevie was being to hard on Belle. But I'm glad that Phil and her friends straightened her out, in a nice way. (By the way, I like how Bonnie Bryant added some information on Chincoteage Island.)

Great Book!!
I loved this book and I recomend it to any one that likes the saddle club.This book takes place on Assateague Island . GREAT BOOK !!!A must buy book!!

it is the book
Stevie learns that her boyfriend, Phil, has taught his horse the flying change and she is determined to out-do him by teaching her horse, Belle. But Stevie tries a little too hard and instead of taking a 'breather' and accessing what is going wrong with her attempts she tries even harder and the training takes a plunge. Stevie gets fed up and Belle, sweet Belle, starts to become unmanagable. Carole and Lisa have to find a way to help both of them before Belle and Stevie are fed up with each other. It seems only a trip to the Chincoteague/Assateague Islands can reintroduce Stevie to the real fun of riding again.

If you LOVE horse's, You'll LOVE the Saddle Cub gang!
This book was AWSOME! Stevie Lake, a rider at Pine Hollow Stables and memeber of Horse Wise, Pine Hollow's pony club, of Willow Creek Virginia, has yet another task to undertake! Her boyfriend Phil Martsen has taught his horse Teddy, to do a Flying Change (wich is a quick, barely noticed, Lead change) and Stevie is once again determind to be just as good, If not better, at riding than Phil. Un-noticed to Phil, Stevie begins extensive training with her horse, Belle, to make her do a flying change. Stevie's friends Lisa Atwood and Carol Hanson try to tell Stevie just how hard she is over working Belle. They persuade her to come on a trip with them to Chintogue Island to see Wild ponies. She reluctantly comes along. During there stay, an encounter with a small pony makes Stevie realize just how unfair she is being to Belle. She vows never to do iot again. And in the end, Phil doesnt mind that she doesnt know how to do the dressage move, but she does get it in the end! Now, If I whent on forever and gave away the story, I apologize fully! I just hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!!!!!!! ... Read more

They meet up with their friend Skye and decide to help him because he is about to loose his job! :O! The Saddle Club are more than willing to help and Veronica is more than willing to take Skye's place! When the Saddle Club's Horses are gone, and show time is coming up, there seems like nothing to do! I have read the Saddle Club series for a while and I just love about every book! Many people think Bonnie Bryant is getting rusty in her writing but I think it is just getting better! I hope everyone out there enjoys the Saddle Club as much as me! :)

SUMMARY:
The Saddle Club girls are participating in a new kind of horse back activity - endurance riding. They'll have to condition their horses and themselves for the grueling contest if they plan to make it across the finish line. But an annoying rider named Chloe keeps getting in the way. Carole Hanson, Stevie Lake, and Lisa Atwood are pretty sure they can finish the competition. The question is : Can they endure Chloe?

COVER ART REVIEW:
This got to be Starlight's best cover. Artists teed to forget his six-pointed star. This mostly is a scene from the book but I don't remember if it stood out. Most likely it did happen.
OVERALL: BLUE. Not much to say. This is probably one of Starlight's best cover, and he is the reason why this cover gets a blue.

BOOK REVIEW:
The Saddle Club are really fun when they act like jerks. We need more books like this. Other than that, there wasn't much to this book. Sure, a lot happen. A new sport, character development, and a serious accident happen in this book, but it still felt like a light fast read. Oh, well. The Saddle Club once again learned that they weren't born knowing everything about horses. That topic is always good for a read.
OVERALL: RED. Not the best book in the world and will mostly be remembered as the only Saddle Club book to feature endurance riding. Still, it makes for a light fast read.

This Endurance Ride Wasn't Long Enough!
I loved this book. In fact I love all Saddle Club books. I think this book was more special than others. I don't know exactly why...but I did read it in less than one day. I think it is really interesting. Way to go Bonnie Bryant! This book never walks.

another stupid Saddle Club book
There is less horse-related stuff than the description says. More typicial Saddle Club ... about snobs trying to look down on people. Don't waste your money--read the THOROUGHBRED SERIES instead of the SADDLE CLUB.

WOW
This book shows just how great the saddle club is. They take on such responsibilitly. At first I thought I wouldn't like the book because there was an annoying character that just kinda made me bored but then things started to happen. It's fill of adveture and fear and if you like sitting on the egde of your seat then this is a great book for you! It puts you in suspence!

Endurance ride
I loved this book! See what happens is The Saddle Club and the riders of Pine Hollow Stables are going for an Endurance ride. Which is a test of fitness, a really long race. Then a new rider comes to the stable. Hre name is Chloe and she is a know it all. The Saddle Club get very annoyed with her! But when a dangerous, terrifying accident happens to Max, the owner of the stable, Chloe and The Saddle Club, decided it's time to put aside their differences to save their teacher... ... Read more

Poor Garnet!!
I liked this book a lot because it described some of the kind of people who go around looking for a horse that doesn't suit their knowledge OR riding ability! It has a good ending and I enjoyed rereading it yesterday. A must read for horse lovers selling their horses! ... Read more

Great, but kind of blah
This book was very interesting. The Saddle Club goes out West to the Bar None Ranch with their friend Emily who has cerebral palsy. Emily is helping make suggestions to make the ranch more handi-capped accessible. They meet a girl with one leg and get her to ride again. I was a little disappointed that all the Saddle Club did was ride. Too bad they didn't go to the horse auction, dog show, and the Wild West Show. At least they went white water rafting.

The greatest saddle club book yet!
This is the GREATEST book in the Saddle Club series yet! The thing that makes it the best to me is that there is a new member in the Saddle Club. it is about that new members experience at the bar none ranch. She is helpong the owner make new descions to make the ranch more accesable to the disabeled. I truley think that you will enjoy this story, but only if you are horse-crazy!

good
this book was good but not the best
i love all the books and when i took a vaction to canada and saw the tv show of it i was disapointed in it. the careters were nothing as i amanged, and lisa had a britch acsent!!

WOW! What a great book!
This was the very first saddle club I ever read and I loved it! It was just an over all great book. I suggest it to horselovers everywhere!

Saddle Club
Saddle Soregave a true insight into what people with disabilities feel like, and how they are excluded from society. It is, as has been said not the best story from the Saddle Club series, but certainly nowhere near the bottom. I loved Saddle Sore, and urge others to buy the book!!! They have just made a series of the Saddle Club on television ( it is only on in Australia and Canada) and so this gives you an indication of the standard of the stories, they're great!!! ...
