THE SADDLE CLUB #95: SHOW JUDGEWRITTEN BY: Bonnie BryantCOVER ART BY: Alan KaplanPUBLISHED: 2000PUBLISHED BY: SkylarkPAGES: 161PRICE: EXTRAS:A summary for The Saddle Club #96: New Rider.SUMMARY:It's time for a new project at Horse Wise. Everyone is being paired with a younger rider to learn all about competing in a horse show - everyone except Carole Hanson, that is. Carole's going to be the judge, and Veronica diAngelo doesn't think that's right. How can Carole be impartial when her best friends, Lisa Atwood and Stevie Lake, are competing? Carole's furious. She knows she can be fair.But maybe Veronica is right. Carole isn't judging Lisa and Stevie the same way she's judging everyone else - she's being a lot harder on them. Now everyone is mad at everyone else. So mad, in fact, that no one notices that Veronica's partner may be riding into trouble. This isn't what they were supposed to be learning, is it?COVER ART REVIEW:Has nothing to with the book. Go read the review for the second cover of Horse Crazy. I don't feel like repeating my self.OVERALL: LIGHT BLUE. Wait a moment, shouldn't you be reading Horse Crazy Review right now.BOOK REVIEW:This is possibly one of the good books of the new cover ones (#88 - ?). Certainly a head and a gallop over #96 New Rider (don't get me started...). But this book stills suffers from all the other problems that the new books suffer from. Stevie, Carole, and Lisa all seen out of character. It's really hard to read the new books without wondering, what happened? The pod people? Maybe this series will eventually get back to normal.OVERALL: BLUE. Normally, a book like this wouldn't even get that high, but compare it to all the others that have came out recently.

Great book!

I love all the Saddle Club Series books. This one was far and away the best. So far. Bonnie Bryant writes with a lot of detail and you can tell that she really researches her subjects. I loved the subject; Carole judges her friends for a big show. I show often, so it related to me a lot, and I always wonder what judges think. It was an awesome book. Every horse-crazy girl should read it.

An awesome book!

I absolutely loved this book! When Carole finds out she is in charge of judging a show tension starts to rise at Pine Hollow. People start thinking Carole will judge Stevie and Lisa differently then she will judge the other riders. There right though... she judges them harder! The three girls soon find out they have a lot to learn about trust. I think this book had a lot to do with horses and friendship. Its definitely a must read!

Judging is harder than you think

When Max gives carole the chance to be a judge at their horse wise competetion she thinks that it is great and good old Veronica is jealous and tells everyone not to bother to compete because there is no way that any of them would get the blue ribbon because its already been decided. Carole is angry and upset about the accusations and she starts judging her friends harder than anyone else to prove that she is not being parital to anyone, unfortuneatly she does not realize just how hard she is being on Lisa and Stevie and it leads to some misunderstandings and alot of tension between friends! Max warned Carole that it was going to be harder than she thought and it turns out he was right!

A Really Great Book

I thought that this was another great Saddle Club book, but i think Carole needs to learn to trust Lisa a little more. I mean if you can't trust your friends then they really aren't your friends.I also thought that Veronica was very irresponsible to ignore a young rider.I also thought that Stevie and Lisa shouldn't have gotte so angry at Carole. Overall this was a pretty good book. It taught me things about riding I didn't aleady know. I would only recomend it to people that take riding lessons because it used a lot of riding terms.
