Behind the Bit

My ten year old daughter, who rides horses, absolutely loves this series of books. She takes them everywhere with her.

Sasha has been dating Jacob, but after the Sweetheart Soiree, she isn't sure. Secretly her guy friend, Eric, has a crush on her, but he is respectful of her feelings and will not allow his feelings to ruin the Sasha-Jacob relationship. He is the type of guy every girl would like to have as a boy friend. He is respectful and kind. He takes Callie's cell number just to be nice to Sasha. Sasha is in the advanced riding team. Her arch-enemy, Jasmine, has moved to Canterwood. Jasmine hates her because she wants to be the best. Jessica is carrying on the legend of Canterwood Crest perfectly. It is so exciting. The horse facts are 95% correct, and thats from a 10 year old who has a 7 year old Quarter Horse and shows at "B" rated shows. A horse lover will really enjoy the series. Can't wait for the next book!

Bought this book for my daughter and she was very excited. Nice addition in the Canterwood Crest series.

I should start this by saying I am 16, and way too old to be reading these books. I bought TAKE THE REINS for something new to read, and once i started reading, I couldn't put it down. As far as middle-school age horse books go, these are top of the line. For a 16-year-old reading on a college level, I find them a bit too easy of a read, but that is to be expected. The stories are strong, good reads. For a girl (or guy, i don't know) that would want to read these however, it is worth noting that there is some "boy stuff" involved - nothing a parent should worry about at all, but if you don't like reading about boys, you may very well not like these books. However, this is good stuff - 99% of the time, the horse stuff is accurate (take that from a girl who shows on the A-circuit and has two Thoroughbred geldings), they've frequently caused me to laugh out loud, and every time I finish one I run to the bookstore immediately. Great read, for sure.

Ohmygosh, I love these books so much! This one was the best so far! it's so good and I read it in a day. I love Canterwood Crest!! :)
