The Lost Foal (Thoroughbred: Ashleigh, #8)

By Chris Platt

Book Overview

Before Thoroughbred, Ashleigh Griffen lived at Edgardale, her family's farm in Kentucky. Nothing could be more perfect than life on the farm with her family, her favorite horses, and her best friend, Mona. Ashleigh loves helping with the horses--and dreaming of becoming a jockey some day... Will Ashleigh ever see Shadow again? Ashleigh Griffen has a special place in her heart for Shadow, the filly she watched being born. So when Shadow disappears from Edgardale, Ashleigh is devastated. Shadow is only a couple of months old--how will she survive? Ashleigh's parents search for days, but eventually give up hope. Ashleigh can't bear knowing that Shadow is out there somewhere. Even when she gets the chance to work at Keeneland racetrack--a dream come true--all she can think of is the missing filly. Will she have to say good-bye to a horse she loves, or will she find Shadow before it's too late?

A Great, Interesting Book

Ashleigh loves Shadow, a filly she saw being born. An unkind trainer who delivers a stallion to Edgardale, he sees Shadow and wants her. Ashleigh's parents turned down his offer. He sneaks up to Edgardale that night and steals her. Ashleigh finds Shadow at Churchill Downs, where she is helping out, but the trainer moves her again. Ashleigh finds the trainer's farm and is happily back with her filly. I can't believe that somebody will steal a horse! Let alone a foal! That was the best book in the Ashleigh series so far out of the 3 I read. Read it!

IT MADE ME CRY IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book made me cry. It is the saddest book in the Ashleigh series!! Even though Ashleigh finds Shadow at the track, it still made me cry when she was gone. What i really like about Ashleigh is that she never gives up hope like her parents did!! Ashleigh and Mona found her beloved filly and that is another reason why I cried!!!

the best

AWESOME! THIS BOOK GET 20 STARS!!!

awesome

this book is great

Amazing!

Okay, sure, so none of this stuff really happened, but at theend of each book, I realized that I couldn't really care less. This isa great series, set aside from the original Thoroughbred series, andit deserves alot more credit. Anyone who loved horses and the powerful bond between them and their human friends should read the Ashliegh series!
