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.
