Another favorite in a series worth saving

A different sort of Thoroughbred brook that put Steeplechasing in the spotlight. The partnership between Samantha and the rowdy Sierra continues to be one of my ultimate favorites in the series. This is an essential addition to any young equestrian's collection of horsey literature. Unfortunately, Harper Collins has decided to end the series abruptly after #72. With such a dedicated following and online fan base with members from all over the world, this is a classic and beloved series that has inspired many people and provided horse fans with vicarious thrills and adventure. Ashleigh saved Wonder, now it's up to you to help save Thoroughbred. Go to www.whitebrookfarm.com and join the effort.

despite what people say...

Despite what people say, I personally think this was a very good book. Sierra is a horse being trained as a flat racer. when he fails to show promise, Mike is ready to give up, with a buyer in Florida coming to look Sierra over. Previously Sierra had jumped over the paddock fence while Tor, one of Samantha's friends and jumper coach is over. He see's the potetential of Sierra being a steeplechaser. One day Tor and Samantha are out on the trail and Sierra easily clear a 6 foot fallen tree. Tor and Samantha train Sierra for a local steeplechase for 3 year olds with the intention of Tor riding. When Tor breaks his arm, Samantha must ride Sierra in the gruling 2 mile race. Read this book! It's one of the best. I liked it because my dream is to learn to steeplechase. I also liked how Samantha and Tor worked together to train Sierra PS. If you like these, also check out the Heartland series.

Steeplechasing is cool!!

In this book, we have a steeplechaser for a star! Pride is injured, and Samantha works with another horse, but she dosn't forget Pride. It's intresting because they're still racing, but jumps too! If you like TB, you really should read this book.

This is one of the best TB books!

I think this is my second fav TB book next to #2. In this book Serria the orenary colt is the horse star. Serria is a dismal faliure at flat racing and everyone just about given up hope. Everyone but Smantha Mclean that is. She's loved the liver chesnut colt since he was born. After Serria jumps a paddock fence and a huge fallen tree at Whitebrook, Samantha and Tor ( her boyfriend) set out to trian Serria as a steeplechaser. They really begin to work hard when Mike annoces that Serria may be sold to a breeder in florida. Another big twist is put on the story when Tor, hte colts jockey, breaks his arm and can't ride Serria in his first race. Samantha who knows alomst nothing about jumping must ride the colt to victory or he will be sold (If you're wondering where Pride is he was injured and all this is happening while he is recovering. He does race again though.). Will this unlikely couple make it to the winners circle? REad to find out. I highly recomend this series to all horse lovers. I have all TB books and have been reading this series since 3rd grade.
