Customer Reviews

Great book, a really good reflection on real life

This was a great book because it showed more of a conflict that would actually happen. I love the other books, but really what are the odds that you will have like 10 of those "one in a million horses" like Wonder, Pride, Princess, Glory, Shining, Honor, Star, Image. I could go on and on. It was really a story that you can relate to, I have had like a million friends that you think they like the sames things you do or whatever, but then bam they turn on you like a turn on the forehand! They also did it at just the right age I mean this happens mostly in teenages its not like an eight year old would do that. But its cool how Dylan comes back in the end. Its also true that its really hard to concentrate on more than one sport at a time. I used to horseback ride and do gymnastics (horseback riding more of course) but you really have to choose one sport in the long run. So this is really a good book and targets something that basicly everybody will have to go through at one time or another. Its great they got Dylan back though, because he was a really good character (realistic too, considering at Camp Saddlebrook he totally didn't know how bad Rachel was flirting with him, and all guys do that so it just makes it better.) This is definatly one of the best Thoroughbred books yet! Also, I love the books on eventing! What do all you people have against it? Why can't Christina and Melanie just stay on eventing instead of going to racing? We would all be much happier if Cindy never came back! So this little part of the series about eventing is either the best or best tied with the first ones about Ashleigh and Samantha.

I really want to know what happend to Cindy and Samantha?

The new authors are good, but would be better writing love stories not horse stories. there are number of things wrong about the new books.1, Christina, she is so spoiled its unreal. And the way she traded Wonders legacy for her "eventer". I also really miss Glory, Champion, and Honour Bright. Also Princess, Cindy, and Samantha. I also find it weird how Sam is in Europe, then all of the sudden she is training eventers. I really wanted to know what happend to Honour and Cindy. And Max, Joanna is the best author for this series why won't she come back??

Loved it

I really liked this book because it was good about jumping and making chocies and you can tell that there is going to be racing coming up because of Melanie

racing, eventing, so what?!

What is up with everyone!? Haven't you heard that horses that aren't any good with racing are tried with eventing (or show jumping, however you want to put it)!? Its true! Retired racers that never did anything or just any thoroughbreds that never do much for the track are being tried with eventing! I like the racing stuff, but eventing I think is just as good! I mean, any horse is a good horse. As long as we stay on the topic of thoroughbreds, people! I thought this book had good points to it. Because guys around here are bugged about horseback riding, and so they go off and do something else, and they are miserable. Listen to me people! This book actually expresses some of the feelings that people really have!

These books are GREAT

I just wanted to say that I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!! (sorry) But I got the whole collection and I will continue collecting. 1st of all I love reading but the Thoughbred books are so interasting I totally forget about everything else!
