Secret Horse

By Bonnie Bryant

Stevie Lake, Carole Hanson, and Lisa Atwood are hoping to compete in a prestigious horse show. To that end, they are doing everything they can to stay on stable owner Max Regnery's good side—including doing extra chores around Pine Hollow such as exercising stable horses, like Samson. Veronica diAngelo is sure that she'll be making the trip to the horse show—just as she's sure that she'll be bringing home a blue ribbon. And of course, Veronica has no intention of lifting a finger to help anyone.

The Saddle Club would love to beat Veronica, but how? She and her horse are tough competition. Then Lisa takes Samson over a jump. He's a natural. Now the Saddle Club has to keep their "secret weapon" under wraps and teach Veronica a lesson she won't forget.

Bonnie Bryant is the author of over one hundred forty books about horses, including the Saddle Club series and its spinoffs, the Pony Tails series and the Pine Hollow series. Bryant did not know very much about horses before writing the first Saddle Club book in 1986, so she found herself learning right along with the characters she created.
