good book

This book is almost identical to the one where Andrea Barry came to Pine Hollow. A gifted rider begins at the stable, is given extra attention by Max the trainer, and admiration from the other riders, and Carole gets jealous. Well, eventually, of course, she learns that being a green eyed monster doesn't pay, when she and the rider must work together to deliver a foal. You'd think Carole would have learned this lesson by now, but apparently not.

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!
