Summary: Well written book, this series is a keeper!
Review: After reading most of the Saddle Club books(which I will continue reading), I thought it was time for me to move on. I went to the bookstore, and picked this book up. This book was extremely well written. It is good for horse lovers, and any other teenager. I felt this book was action packed,and I read it in less than a day, because i could not put it down. This was one great book, and ill definately read the entire series! I give this book 5 stars, more if i could. *****

Summary: finally happy
Review: After reading the saddle club book I was getting worried because as I grew older the girls never seemed to. No matter now many times Carol had a birthday she never got older. Now I finally feel they have caught up. I started reading them when I was 10 and I'm now 17 so feel that this new series is making the saddle club more realistic. I am having problems though with should I continue getting the saddle club series whilst buying the pine hollow series.

Summary: ok, but what about the others?
Review: Bonnie Bryant has been a fav. author of mine for a long time. I've always enjoyed the other charactors even Veronica! Why didn't she( bonnie bryant) include the others like Veronica, or Maxi? I also did'nt like the fact that Lisa's parents got divorced. I mean it happens, but Lisa's family had always seem so perfect. I gave the book 4 stars, and I 'd like to give it 5 but the book just didn't make it. Maybe next book! I will remain loyal to Bonnie. If you agree with me e-mail me!

Summary: Good book but what about the others?
Review: Bonnie Bryant has been my favorite author and once again she has out done her self. The book was good but she( Bonnie Bryant) should have the other characters suchas Maxi,Veronica,and other people around the barn? The book is great and I'm definetly going to continue reading the series!

Summary: Pine Hollow are cool!
Review: Cpaw back again. I've been reading saddle Club for a long time, the first one I read was #8 horse show, and I fell in love with the series then. I still love saddle club, but i'm getting older and like to read more relationships and life problems and things like that, so I was quite pleased but a little wary when I first read about Pine Hollow in the back of a SC. I was a little worried they would end up like the Thoroughbred series do over time, dropping out characters and mostly ignoring the old ones. But I got a great surpise when I finally found The Long Ride - it was great! I loved it! It was the perfect combination of Horses and private lives, I know some poeple think they focus too much on non-horse related problems, and I suppose this is true. If you want the sort of books that always focus on horses and always have a happy ending, read Saddle club or Thoroughbred. These are much more like real life. In the story, Stevie is excited about her new drivers licence, she spends more time driving than taking care of belle - but its not like she neglects her like Carole with starlight later on. You can tell Stevie is still the same, she goes and gets a delivery job as soon as she gets her licence! Carole is still Horse-crazy and now has a job at Pine Hollow..... I also like new characters like Ben and Callie, I think Ben and Carole would make a good couple! There was some faults though, I think Kate and Christine should get a mention, a book out west would be nice. And what about John, he and Lisa were going out wern't they? Hold on, i havn't read all the saddle clubs yet, they're hard to get hold of over here so i've only read about half, so they could of broken up in a book i didn't read. I would also like to see the return of Enrico - wasn't lisa going out with him at the same time as John? Hhhmmm...

Review: From the Pine Hollow 1-3, sounds like most of you don't like these new series. My parents have been pushing me to read more "mature" books. Here's my chance. I'll check it out anyway. If these girls are around 16, Maxi must be 3 or 4 ( I bet she'll be adorable) Veronica not riding anymore??? With Mommy and Daddy to spoil her, come on why would they sell Danny, world's perfect horse? I kinda expect to have these series to out of this world, like Carole becomes an Olymician, Stevie and Belle in Grand Prix or even Lisa riding in an cross country compeition. Next time Ms. Bryant, you create a new Saddle Club series, be sure the next one would like like I said adove, like the Silver Blades Olymnic dreams.

Summary: Yipee! Yah! Hurrah!
Review: HURRAH! This is the first book I've read that really goes into the subject of growing up. The only complaint I have is that there is much about horses and what has happened, riding wise, over the past few years! Please keep writing them Mrs. Bryant!
