Laugh out loud entertainment

What a fun book! It probably helps if you know horses, but Ithink even non-horsey people couldn't help but enjoy the light styleand wit.Highly recommend this and all of her other books!

Lots of fun!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was fun to read, and as a horse person, I could totally relate. Yes, it might stretch the imagination at the end, but who cares? When I read, I don't always want to read a serious mystery. Sometimes I want to be entertained, and if an unlikely ending adds to my pleasure, that's even better!

I really couldn't put this one down; it was a GREAT book!

The plot was excellant, as were the characters of this must-read book. I do many diffrent kinds of riding, mostly jumping and dressage. I really liked how Robin, the main character, wasn't a perfect rider or a perfect person, amd this made all the diffrence in my enjoyment of this book. Nika is a great character, too, and at first you think she is a really huge brat, until you read along and begin to realize that Nika might not be what she seems. So, this book takes you along a path of people, places, and a certain amount of danger. I loved it, and think both the horse lover or non-horse lover will enjoy it as much as I did.

A really fun horsey novel!

This is the first (only) book I've ever read which has dressage in it. So, as a dressage rider, I found it fun to read.For non-horsey people, the author does a really good job of welcoming the reader into the sport, explaining things along the way.I particularly liked the "villian" in this novel. It was a bit too easy to put a face to the character and to imagine more details than were written. :-)I'll have to get Carolyn Banks other books now, as this one was quite good!
