Customer Reviews

Love it

This is a really great book. I like how Brad tries to pressure Parker into running Townsend Acres, but I have a question about the cover. Why is Parker putting a western saddle on a horse? That horse is either Star or Foxy, and since neither of them are western horses... This was a really great book. PLEEEEEEEEEASE DON'T STOP THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!

Really Cool

Why is Parker putting a WESTERN saddle on a horse that looks like Wonder Star? That just doesn't seem right. But other than that this book is GREAT, REALLY GREAT. I have been reading these book since I was ten. An get the newones on the day they come out. And for the person said Christina is a brat, DON'T LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!!!! Love Me

pretty good

Well, I enjoyed reading this book. Though why is Parker putting on a WESTERN saddle on a horse that looks like Star? Parker had to make some pretty tough choices in here, but in the end it all worked out for the best. Wow, imagine having an oppourtunity to own two horses with Olympic caliber and having to turn it down.

Really Good

Though I don't get why Parker is putting a WESTERN SADDLE on a horse that I assume must be Star's back on the cover, this book was really good. I've been reading these books since I was in 3rd grade and I haven't missed one yet! (though now they are a simple read for me) In this book Parker's father, Brad, tries to tempt Parker him to takeing over Townsend Acres when he retires, by buying Parker not 1 but 2 REALLY expensive top-of-the-line eventing horses. Will Parker accept the horses and fall into Brad's trap? Read this book and find out!

Fantastic!!

This book is fantastic!! I love everything about it!! But I don't get why Parker is putting a WESTERN saddle onto a horse's back. Oh well!! Don't judge a book by its cover, right? You should read this book!!
