The Secret of the Stallion

I liked this book a lot. It is about three girls who are best friends that are going to England for a horse show. With them went their instructor and their worst enemy. In England they meet their friend Nigel and some unexpected guests. Nigel is riding a beautiful stallion for a very cruel person. They soon find out about a king whose horse would only let him ride him. The king hid a treasure underneath the horse. The treasure has never been found, but can only be found by a rider with "fire in his heart." This book was very exiting and had me wanting to keep reading it to the end. I recommend this book to all horse lovers and adventure lovers. The only thing I didn't like is that the English thought we only ate pizza!

The Secret of the Stallion

I liked this book a lot.It is about three girls who go to England for a horse show. When they find out the history of the castle and stables. There was a stallion that would only let his owner ride him or touch him. The owner was very rich with pearls, and gold, and diamonds. He buried all his treasures under the Stallions stall. Then something tragic happens, the stables are suddenly burned down everything is gone. A year later they find the dukes body on the same spot with a single fire opal clutched in his hand. The treasure will be found by the rider with fire in his heart. The sory of the treasure and the stables burning down couldn't possibly replay itself could it? Parts of this are from the back of the book. It's a great book I suggest that you read it!

Pizza anyone??

It's clear by now that I have read this book and I enjoyed it.Especially the pizza part.If you are a fan of the series; and would like to know how Veronica's mind works or if you are going into world history and would like to know more about the english civil war it is also a good read.

Great book!!

I thought that this was a outstanding book. I think anyone who enjoys the Saddle Club will like this book.

This book is full of adventure and mystery. Read it.

Lisa, Carole, and Stevie have to go to England to compete in a horse show. The competetion is taking place at an OLD CASTLE. There is a legand that says the man that used to live in and own the castle had a horse that was wild. One day the barn burned and the horse perished in it. The man buried his treasure where the horse stall used to be. About a year later he was found dead holding one fire opal. It is said that the rider with fire in his heart will get his treasure. I loved this book because it has adventure, danger and it is a mystery. I also love horses. If you like horses and you want adventure and a mystery you will love The Saddle Club series.
