Summary: Very Touching
Review: "...I couldn't leave him there..." That's how I felt as soon as I picked up book No. 7 of the Thoroughbred series, Samantha's Pride. This story perfectly tells about a Champion colt, Wonder's Pride, of Ashleigh's Wonder, (Kentucky Derby Winner) in his 3-year-old season. My heart really jumped into my throat when Ashleigh decided to take things into her own hands.I really enjoyed this book. I really hate Brad though. I hated him from the time he "Muscled" Ashleigh's Wonder around, and bruised her ankle. All horse lovers: this is a "Must read!"

Summary: plot was okay, facts were not
Review: Okay, the racing aspect of this book was alright, although the problem was solved way too easily. That would never happen in real life. But what really bothered me was the part about Samantha learning to jump. I realize that Sammy is a good rider, but learning to jump 3 feet perfectly in a matter of months is absolutly ridiculas. It takes years to perfect the skill of jumping a course, and it takes years to go from low jumps to 3'. Especially if you are taking 1 lesson a week, like Sammy. I've been jumping for 4 years now, and just last year I started jumping 3 feet, and my courses are still not perfect. Perhaps Sammy's horse never makes a mistake. That's possible. I've seen hunters that don't make mistakes ever. But its just not realistic. And it bothers me because it makes it seem like jumping is so easy.

Summary: Save Thoroughbred!!
Review: Pride and Sammy are my absolute favorite characters in the entire series. This book makes Pride seem more approachable. He's not completely perfect, as evidenced by his loss of the Triple Crown. It's books like this one that make the Thoroughbred series worth saving.

Summary: Got Boring and annoying.
Review: Pride races in the triple crown in this, and so what if he lost by a nose? Mrs. Campell kind of portrays ALL of the townsends as evil. sigh. I got bored of this book once Pride lost the triple crown.

Summary: A realistic story
Review: Quite frankly, this book blew me away. Lets give the author credit, shall we? It was obvious Campell knew her facts, and knew them well. She portrayed each character to their potential, whether it be the obnoxious Townsends, or the courageous Griffins. I felt Wonder's Pride come alive in the text, and felt Samantha's misery and fear when he was injured in the Belemont. I think this is a very realistic scenario, and Campell protrayed it wonderfully. Five Stars!

Summary: Go Pride!
Review: Sammy and Pride are really makin' it big now! I got so mad at Brad during the book that I almost threw it down! It's been a long time since I've read such an exciting story!

Summary: Thoroughbred #7, Samantha's Pride
Review: This book was the greatest!!!! I loved it when Pride won the Derby against "Lord Ainsley". It was so neat!! I would really like to wring Brad Townsend's head. Where does he think HE has any buisness training Pride?! I think Samantha and Ashleigh are the best people with Pride. Even though it was sad when Pride lost the Belmont and the Triple Crown by half a nose, he is still a wonderful colt and I can't wait to see his racing years and foals in the years to come. FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!
