A Great Addition to the Treasured Horses series
It's Kate's tenth birthday, and her mind is stuck on her all-time dream...owning a horse.When her wish finally comes true and her parents present her with a beautiful Quarter Horse by the name of Chinook, Kate has a new dream.She is sure that Chinook will make a great cutting horse, but only one problem: her nasty neighbor, Jimmy, is planning on entering the contest riding Chinook.Her distant dreams seem impossible, considering that the contest is for boys only.But then a contest between her and Jimmy changes everything.Will she get to compete in the contest after all...and maybe even win?Takes place in 1924 in Canada.This book gives an example of the real-life events of men having more advantages than women, and how some persistant girls faught for their rights.A great story, considering that I am an owner of a Quarter Horse myself, and I learned a lot about them from this story.You don't have to be a horse-lover to fall in love with the characters in this book.Highly recommended!

Kate's Secret Plan - GREATBOOK
I love horse books and this is one of my favorites.I liked it because it showed how you can do whatever you want to do even if you are a girl.Girls can do equally as well as boys when they put their mind to something. I like it when people do what they want by putting their mind toaccomplish something. Kate showed her courage in this book.It is also funto read and you can learn a lot about quarter horse

Perfect for kids
This book is a favorite for children, but it is so predictable to adults

Only okay.
This new book in the Treasured Horses series was not one of my favorites. It was set in Canada in 1926. It was about a girl who wants to compete in the cattle cutting contest at the fair with her horse, Chinook. But the contest is only for boys. The ending was way too perfect and neat. Overall, I was very dissapointed by this book. ... Read more

This story keeps you on the edge of your seat, from her first ride on Saultan, the Arabian horse, to the ride that saves her uncles camp from the Redcoats.It's amazing the spunk of an 11 year old colonial girl can be!!

Caught in the middle
When Cassie hears of Magesty, a Lipizzan new to her stables, she marvels at the beauty. But when Hillary also notices him, her jealousy grows and she immedietly demands the horse to be hers - and hers only - to ride. Who will be able to win Majesty? A good Treasured Horses addition...but somewhat predictable. Still a good read for children 10 and under. Since I own a horse myself, I found this book a fun read in school. Also, this has a bunch of cool facts for the young horse owner. Personally, I like the Treasured Horses: Pride of the Green Mountains somewhat more than I did this book. But, don't let my opinion stop you. See what you think after reading Riding School Rivals for yourself. : )

Majesty - Who's Horse?
Cassie is an excellent rider and jumper. When she hears that a beautiful Lipizzan named Majesty arrives, she's sure that he would be perfect for her. But when another rich and self-centered girl, Hillary, also sees the horse, only one girl will get him. Who will win the right to lease this fallen angel?

The Best!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this book! I've read it a million times and I'm still not sick of it! It's the first book that I've read from the series and it's inspired me to read the others. This book is realistic to me because every young girls can really relate to wanting that one special horse. Also, this book has a part inwhich Cassie is in her riding lesson, so readers can learn more about good posture and tecniques when they ride.

Well, I For One,Liked it!
Ok. Maybe The plot is A LITTLE predictable. A LITTLE! But, I thought this was one of the best in series! (They're all good.) I wish there were more books about Lipizzan horses. I think it's good that the girls become friends! This book shows how you should keep trying to be friends to someone who doesn't like you. Oh, and the book does have horses in it. Most of the time everything happens at the stable. A nice, horsey book!

It is okay
This is the only book I've read of this series, but I think that both "The Saddle Club" series and the "Thouroughbred" series are better. If you are looking for a book about Lipizzan horses, then read it. But if your looking for books all about horses and fun things in them, then read the "Saddle Club" series. All in all, it's not a bad book, but I have definatly read better ones. ... Read more

A great story about a girl and a horse.
This is one of my all time favorite books about horses by one of my favorite authors.

Allright but not as good as Ride of Courage.
This book was allright but not as good as the other Treasured Horses book release at the same time, Ride of Courage. Spirit of the West is about Jessie, a Nez Perce Indian girl whose pride and determination to show off to her new friends causes a valuable foal on the Oregon ranch her father works on to wander off, and now Jessie must search for the foal. ...

Christmas in Silver Lake
I enjoyed reviewing this book for my library. For the young reader who wants a well-written, fast paced, tale of love of family and heritage and the timeless quest of seeking friendship and acceptance will remember the good feeling this story evokes long after the last page is read. The "Facts about the Breed" section will be appreciated since the reader will undoubtedly form a bond with the Clydesdale horse Silky and want to learn all about the breed. ... Read more

The Best Treasured Horses Book!
I LOVE this book! It taught me about vaulting, a horse sport I had never heard of before. In the book, Adala loses her confidence after taking a spill. Will she get it back and decide to rejoin the team? Read the book and find out! Also read A Horse for Hannah, Lousiana Blue, and Rush for Gold, all books by the same auther. They are also wonderful! ... Read more
