Horse Shy (Saddle Club (Paperback))

Summary: a good light read
Review: 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 ...

Summary: Horse Shy
Review: 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

Review: 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.

Review: This is the second book in the Saddle Club series which is about three girls who love horses so much they start a club called the Saddle Club, which has only two rules. The first is that the members must be horse-mad, the second is that they must be willing to help each other at any time. The three main characters are Lisa, Stevie and Carole. Stevie is a fun, practical joker who brings a lot of humour into the story line, Lisa is a practical student and Carole is the most horse mad of them all. The story line is that Carole is very much in love with a beautiful black horse called Cobalt. Unfortuantly he belongs to a snob called Veronica DeAngelo and she is not very considerate of him. Then in a terrible aciddent, Cobalt dies and Carole is so upset that she thinks she must give up riding for good so as to not get hurt again. Stevie and Lisa know how much riding means to Carole, and so try to stop her. Read the book to find out what happens next......
