• Book: “Horse Shy” by Bonnie Bryant

    Our girls even though they are twins are very different both in their personalities and interests.  Although there are a couple areas of interest they overlap……their love for books and their love for animals.  They both LOVE horses and get really excited any time they have an opportunity to ride, pet, feed, or even be around horses.

    Recently I just finished reading the second book of The Saddle Club horse series to the girls Horse Shy by Bonnie Bryant.  They were always eager for me to read the next chapter of the book, if I had extra time they would request that I read another chapter.  The cover of our book is the older edition but the story is the same.

    This is the second book in the Saddle Club series.  Carole, Lisa, Stevie and a group of their classmates go on the big adventure they have been looking forward to for months the Mountain Trail Overnight.  An accident happens with one of the horses, but the author does a good job of showing how to cope with the loss of a favorite animal through the encouragement of friends and a time of grief.  If your child enjoys horses, likes to read or listen to you read books this is a great one to check out.

  • Book: The Saddle Club “Horse Crazy” by Bonnie Bryant

    The girls picked out the first book they wanted me to read to them over the Summer Break.  They choose The Saddle Club Horse Crazy by Bonnie Bryant.  The girls have loved reading this book especially every part about the horses.  The book is about two girls who love horses and are excited about going on their Mountain Trail Overnight campout for all the students of Pine Hollow.   The only problem is Stevie’s parents won’t pay for it unless she improves her grades.  It is a cute story about friendship, horses, and fun that was a real treat to read with the girls.  They are so excited about the finding the Saddle Club books at the used book store.  If you have a young girl that enjoys animals or horses this is a great book to read together.
