In HORSE SHY, the second book in THE SADDLE CLUB series, Stevie, Carole, and Lisa finally get to go on the long-awaited Mountain Trail Overnight (or MTO). They have a great time, and things get even better for Carole when she gets back: she gets to care for Veronica's stallion, Cobalt. Veronica may be snobby, but Cobalt is beautiful and Carole loves him.
Then there's a tragic jumping accident and Cobalt is killed. Carole is devastated and swears that she'll never ride again. It's up to Lisa and Stevie to remind Carole how much she loves riding, and that life continues, maybe in ways that nobody expected.
HORSE SHY delves into deeper material than HORSE CRAZY, the first book in the series, with the death of a beloved horse, but Bryant still manages to keep it light for her readers, with a more than happy ending.

This book has a condition of being slightly worn, but other than looks, it is in great condition! It really isn't bad, but I wanted anyone to know that before they bought it.
A book for young horse lovers.
For all you Saddle Club fans out there, this is an amazing book. It's full of suspense, and Bonnie Bryant has got the audience wondering if Carole will ever get back in the saddle again! Shocking! Join rambunctious Stevie: as full as ever of crazy schemes to get their old Carole back, logical Lisa: shaking her head at Stevie's plans, and coming up with sensible ones of her own, and horse-crazy Carole: When something terrible happens to her favorite horse Cobalt.
Will Veronica actually turn into a human with emotions, and will Carole ever go to Pine Hollow again?
These doubtful questions are all answered in one good dose of your favorite horse crazy trio!
