Two Books in One!
Here are two stories from the new television series 'The Saddle Club' filmed entirely in Australia and based on the bestselling book series.
They're Stevie, Lisa and Carole - three totally different girls with one thing in common - they love horses!
'Horse Crazy'
Carole Hanson and Stevie Lake have been best of friends ever since they met at Pine Hollow Stables. So when Lisa Atwood shows up for her first riding lesson dressed in fancy riding gear - and acting chummy with the snobbiest girl in town - the girls aren't sure she'll fit in. But Lisa works hard, and Carole and Stevie can't help admiring her natural riding talent. Most importantly, the three girls share a special bond that makes them fast friends - they love horses.
Over sundaes at their favourite ice cream shop, the girls make plans for the MTO, the long-awaited Mountain Trail Overnight camp-out for the students of Pine Hollow. There's just one problem: Stevie's parents won't pay for it unless she improves her math grades. Stevie's not going to miss out on this wonderful trip with her friends, so she decides to start her own business - with a little help from a surprising source!
'Horse Shy'
The three members of the Saddle Club - Carole, Lisa, and Stevie - are the best of friends, bonded by their special love of horses. Now they're together on the long-awaited Mountain Trail Overnight, riding through the pine forests, swimming in the mountain ponds, sharing a tent under the stars . . . They're having such a perfect time that nothing - not even Veronica, the richest and snobbiest girl at the stables - can spoil their fun.
But the impossible happens. A tragic accident, caused by Veronica's carelessness, makes Carole lose the one thing she loved most in the world. Is her grief enough to make her give up riding forever?
