Back in the Saddle: Back in the Saddle

I also enjoyed this series. As horse stories go these days, it is better than many of them. No, Silver Creek Riders is not the best horse series, but to me it does stand out. Unfortunately, there will probably be no more in the series because the author seems to be very busy right now with other projects. It's no real secret, but Beth Kincaid is a pseudonym for KA Applegate, of Animorph fame.

I have just finished reading Back in the Saddle, and enjoyed it very much! I am a horse-crazy bookworm who has read many, many horse books, and found this book to be better than some of the more popular series because of its interesting plot, realistic characters and satisfying ending. The most disappointing part of the Thoroughbred and Saddle Club series is that the characters are often spoiled and unrealistic, but the Silver Creek Riders series is different. The most annoying part of Back in the Saddle was when the characters critizied beginner riders, mounting blocks, etc. and that made them seem bratty, but perhaps the author wrote it that way purposely because Sharon is pretty bratty for most of the book. If you're searching for a well-written horsey series, try Silver Creek Riders!

This series is a very good series! WHY ARE THERE ONLY 3 BOOKS? What happened? If someone prevented Beth Kincaid from writing any more of these books, that was a BIG mistake!!! Or did she just decide to stop writing them? Well, that would be a big mistake, too! Why? The reason is that this series has a great deal of potential. Don't get me wrong--there are many other series out there that ROCK; they are SO awesome!--but if Beth Kincaid had continued writing this series, it could have been the best. The first three Silver Creek Rider books are better than the first three books of every other horse book series I've read--and some of THOSE have a GREAT number of books in them. Yes, in many other horse series riders and/or horses overcome drastic hardships. However, so do the characters in this series! I mean, Sharon is still coping with the death of her horse and learning to ride all over again after being in an accident, and Melissa's dealing with divorcing parents and financial problems. Yet we are still provided with ample comic relief. In addition, all of the friends here love horses and are supportive of each other! I'm not saying characters in other series aren't; I'm saying this series is just as good--and made even better with the witty manner and dialogue Beth Kincaid uses to develop her characters and the plot. This series is a very good horse series for young horse-lovers. Silver Creek Riders should be brought back--and by the same author, the smart and talented Beth Kincaid...

I wish that Beth would write more books. Her Books are GREAT

Hi, I'm very interested in reading this series because it's about horses and sounds very good. I try to get my hands on any book or movie and any clothing that has to do with horses, therefor if anyone has read this series, tell me what you think of it! I'd really like to know!
