A new horse has arrived at Pine Hollow, and Lisa Atwood is convinced that her parents are planning to buy it for her. Of course she volunteers to help school it. But training this horse is a lot more difficult than Lisa thought - in fact, it could be dangerous. How can Lisa tell her parents she doesn't want this horse? And will this mean she'll never get a horse of her own?
Meanwhile, Carole Hanson is having schooling problems of her own. She's about to fail a course, and she doesn't know where to turn for help. Should she try to struggle through? Or just give up?
Can The Saddle Club turn these two schooling disasters into happy endings?
