Customer Reviews

One of my Favorite books!

I've read all the Ahliegh series books that have come out and this was one of my favorite. The only sad part is when Moe has the accident. I would recommend this to anyone who loves horses. Trust me if you read the Ashliegh series in order it will make a LOT of more sense. I switched and read the 5th book before the 4rth book and it mixed a lot of things up! ....

My treasure...

This was my first TB book, ever! i loved it. this is what got me hooked on to the other books, including the origanal thoroughbred series. this is also what taught me how to ride better. like the half halts in #28 Camp saddlebrook. This book will always hold a special place in my heart. i also recomend this book to anyone who loves horses!

Cool!

I thought Waiting For Stardust was really good! If you're thinking of reading it, read the two before it first because otherwise things are sort of hard to figure out, and you don't understand what Ashleigh is feeling. Overall, I thought the book was excellent, and it shows that not all horses are going to trust you straight away. I want to get the next book, and see how things turn out with Stardust! I could not put this one down!

Ashleigh finally gets a horse Can any horse replace Ligtning

When Ashleigh get's her new horse it's kind of frustrating because stardust "her new horse" dosen't like her. It really upsets her because Mona ,her best friend has a wonderful Thoroughbred that is perfect and sweet and Stardust is well trained but she's scared of girls about Ashleigh's age !The girl that used to own her used a whip on her .It ends up that Ashleigh and her father retrain Stardust and Mona and Ashleigh get back together from the fight they had.

A terrific story for horse lovers!

A well written and fast paced story! Readers who have read the first two Ashleigh books will love this new story about Ashleigh and her adventures (or is that misadventures?). You don't even have to read the first two books to enjoy this one! Ashleigh is a heroine you can identify with because things don't always go her way. Waiting for Stardust will make you smile and it will bring tears to your eyes.
