Rating: 2 stars
Summary: In this book Ash is pregnant and Cindy has to find a jockey.
Review: I give this book 2 stars. I mean, really happy ending. I personally think that Ashleigh shouldn't have given Brad and his wife Lavina (two snotty no good rats)half-interest in Glory. I feel bad for Cindy. Hey, Glory is her horse and Brad+Lavina are ruthless and careless with their horses. I also wonder what happened to Glory. I think that Cindy should own Glory completely. Cindy pretty cool, but my favorite character is Melanie. I hope Joanna Campell will write more books about her and Christina. I also wonder what happened to Cassidy. They should tell more about her.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love the Thoroughbred series and I love this book.
Review: I really don't get how people could possibly give this book bad reviews. I was a little sad when Ashleigh couldn't ride Glory any more but I was excited about her having a baby. I simply love the Thoroughbred books and I loved this one too. My favorite one is Ashleigh's Christmas Miracle and I've read a lot of them. I strongly suggest you read it along with all the rest. But if you are considering reading Ashleigh's Farewell don't listen to what everyone says because it's a good book and so are all the other Thoroughbred books. There is one for every kind of person and you might just find one you like. I give this book a 4 star rating because I like some of them better. But I've read 1-18,plus Ashleigh's Diary, Samantha's Journey, Ashleigh's Christmas Miracle, and I plan to read Ashleigh's Hope next. I may only be 11, but I know a lot about horses and about these books and I think you should give this book a try. Keep writing Joanna ang I'll keep reading. Signed, Your biggest fan

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cindy the brat
Review: It was better than Glory In Danger, I'll give it that. However, there are little things in these books that just irk me. Firstly, what is with the vanning? Why on earth someone would van a horse with a injured leg halfway across the country I will never know. In the real world there are equine clinics in New York who take care of that sort of stuff there, for the sole purpose of not transporting the horse back to Lexington. Vanning an injured horse will only make the situation worse. Everyone knows that, I don't know why the author didn't get it. Secondly, why was Ashleigh even risking working Glory if she was pregnant? A fall could've resulted in losing the baby. She talked about the risk of working the horses while pregnant, well, she just risked it. Then, there is Cindy and Glory and the whole mess about who's going to ride him. Never have I seen any racehorse so picky about who is on his back. Plus, once they find Felipe, exactly why was Glory so taken with him and not the others? It was just, oh, by the way, Felipe is Glory's jockey now. No mention as to what was ever going on. Of course, then there's Cindy. It's tiring just thinking about her. If she could be more of a brat focused on winning and promoting how phenomenal her gray horse is I'd be surprised, but then again I've read Glory's Rival. The only thing that reminds one of the older Thoroughbred books is the Townsends and their sudden half-interest in Glory. Overall, this book was entertaining enough, but you can see how the plots are being stripped down to one common theme: a girl, a superhorse, one trivial problem, and a big shimmering trophy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a good book!
Review: This is a good book. Ashleigh is pregnant! But there is one problem with that-who will ride Glory? Read this book to find out. It's exciting!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Well...um...
Review: What can I say? The story kind of doesn't make sence. Like, if Ashleigh was pregnant, why did she ride Glory one day, fall off then suddenly not ride? My my mom was pregnant with me, she ride till she was 8 months along! Like come on!

Another thing about this book is that Glory feaks out with all the other riders. Sure, when I broke my arm and some of my friends rode my horse, he had to get used to there differnt(sp?) riding style, but gallop around and toss them this way and that...um...no. Never.

This book bearly got any stars from me, but I'll be nice cause I like Cindy and Glory *Sometimes*
