WOW!

Lisa and her family go and visit a friend of Lisa's mother. Marguerite, her mother's friend's daughter rides too. When she and Lisa ride together, Marguerite puts Lisa on an old mare, Tiny. When they split up and starts to rain, and Lisa falls off Tiny and gets injured, Tiny takes care of her. I thought that was amazing! Finally the Saddle Club arrives and helps her, and she is fine.

I luved it!!!

Horse Care is a really good book. It demonstrates a lot that Lisa has feelings toward her mother pushing her around and it really affects her-not that she would tell her mom that! Though, I wish that it was more realistic that a horse would actually take care of you and let you lean on them when you were hurt in the freezing cold rain after being spooked. Not that my horse is selfish-he loves me (i hope!), but I just can't see him or any other horse I know lying down right next to a human in less than ideal conditions. Also, I really don't think that 12 year-olds (in reality) practice pirouettes in riding class. That's way too advanced for anyone that age! Carole and Stevie have met a boy that just started riding at Pine Hollow and he knows as much about horses as Carole, but that doesn't mean he has everything, does it? (You learn a lot of interesting horse facts!) I hope I didn't sound too critical or give too much a way- I really love the Saddle Club! I have like 70-something of Ms. Bryant books!

I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK!

This is one of my top favorites. I was reading the part where Lisa is lost at night, and the wind was blowing outside my window. It was so realistic and scary! It was very sad, though. GREAT JOB! I love this book. I definitely reccomend it. It involves horses, which is the best thing. And it is thrilling, scary, sad, and a little funny. GOOD JOB!

Two thumbs up!!!

Hi! We're the Stable Club here and we're three girls just like the Saddle Club. We LOVED "Horse Care." It was really great. This book was excitingly scary. We love how Ms. Bryant showed how couragous and loyal horses can be. Bonnie Bryant is a great author!! We love how she writes her books!

...and yet another Saddle Club classic

This book was really good, since it had one of those strong horse-rider bonds. A horse-lovers must, along with anyone who enjoys adventure and suspense. Another great book to read would be HORSE WHISPERS, Saddle Club #74. Enjoy the books--and the rest of the series!
