Gold Medal Horse

Stevie, Carole and Lisa are attending a horse show, the prestigious Kentucky Rolex. Their friend Nigel is competing a promising horse called Southwood that is being considered for the Olympics. They spend their free time when not helping at the stable, touring the fairgrounds, and avoiding Nigel's groom's younger brother, who they mistakenly believe is a geek. On a trail ride, they discover a loose horse they call Ghost, a gentle and rundown horse. Ghost's real identity is a surprise to them all. Only problem is that Ghost was described as "gray-white.' Light colored horses are just called gray. As Lisa learned in book three of the series, "it's a sign of a real beginner when they call a horse white."

I loved the book. If you like jumping and alot of adventures your looking for Gold Medal horse. Bonnie Bryant did great on this book. I've read alot of Saddle club books and this is the one for me. It's about them all. How Nigel gets nervous before he starts his course. I couldn't belive how wonderful this book was.

In this book the Saddle Club goes to the Kentucky Rolex to watch their friends' horse Southwood jump to try out for the Olympics. His owners don't think he is ready to be pushed hard, but a horse who never had a chance changes his mind. Southwood jumps extremely well and makes the Olympic team. It was a little boring and didn't have much of a plot. Good, but not one of the best.

In this story the girls of the Saddle Club realize that they might just have to give something ( or someone I should say ) a chance! But when not giving this person a chance they were also having fun and that's the important thing. This book really comes alive and I recommend it to Saddle Club fans!

This book was a very good story about a horse with a big heart. The horse in this story, 'Southward', never gave up, he just kept on trying. I loved this story, it was well told by Bonnie Bryant, collect the series.
