Club Special Edition, Carole: The Inside Story
Preview:
Carole Hansen knows she wants to
spend her life with horses - the problem is, she doesn't know how. She
could be a vet, or a professional rider, or she could run her own stable.
She needs to narrow the choices down a bit, but it's hard. And there are
so many other things to do - including great Saddle Club projects like
helping her friend Stevie chose a horse, helping her friend Marie get through
a difficult birthday, and helping her friend Lisa fullfill her dream of
going on the stage. It's a lot of work, but that's what The Saddle Club
is all about: helping each other out. But who's going to help her with
her decision?
Then her old
riding journals and a special set of memories help Carole realize that
she doesn't have to decide anything just yet.

Saddle
Club #89, Lucky Horse
Preview:
Carole Hansen and her father are
going camping, just the two of them. Carole's excited, but she's also sad.
She'll miss her best friends, Stevie Lake and Lisa Atwood, and her horse,
Starlight. Still with Stevie and Lisa looking after Starlight, Carole knows
he'll be fine. In fact, he's one lucky horse, because her friends can't
do enough for him. But Stevie and Lisa get so busy with Starlight that
they forget their own horses. Meanwhile, Carole and her dad are having
their own kind of luck-and it's all bad. Carole's dad is so determined
to use all his fancy camping gear that they're not enjoying themselves.
Somehow they have to start having fun or the trip will be a total bust.
Maybe the Saddle Club needs a few
four-leaf clovers to turn things around.

Club #88, Sidesaddle

There's a new rider at Pine Hollow
Stables. her name is Tiffani. Carole Hansen and Lisa Atwood think Tiffani's
a good rider, but Stevie Lake can't get over her riding gear-it's pink
and covered in lace and frills. On top of that, Stevie just dosn't like
Tiffani. It dosen't make sense, but she can't help it. When her boyfriend
innocently flirts with the new girl, Stevie stops seeing pink and starts
seeing red. And when he praises Tiffani's riding skills, Stevie goes wild.
Suddenly she's in competition with
Tiffani, and she'll do anything to win-even if it means learning to jump
fences while riding sidesaddle. Stevie's friends are convinced she's lost
her mind. But Stevie's determined to "out-girl" Tiffani. She's even bought
a fluffy pink sweater!
