Four Seasons Stables: A Saddle Seat Riding Adventure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book. I like the sequel even better than the first book. The author notes in the front of the book that her illustrator is a child and was only 9 when she drew the pictures for the first book and 11 when she illustrated the second book. A child illustrating a children's book is pretty neat, I think! Cole is very knowledgeable about horses. I like that the book includes accurate information about Amercian Saddlebreds and a glossary. Both books are filled with that love that little girls have for horses, and the second book especially has many other things that are special to little girls: adventure, mystery, secrets, and a locket. I definitely recommend both books to other moms for their children.

Caroline Meadows loves horses and saddle seat riding. At Four Seasons Stables, she helps groom and tack the horses, clean stalls and teach the beginners. In return, Miss Buckley gives Caroline lessons for free. Caroline's parents can't afford to buy their little girl a horse, but in Caroline's heart, all the horses are her very own. Even so, she has a special place in her heart for a gorgeous American Saddlebred mare named Autumn Leaves. Life at the stable is great except for one problem—Bretta Nobs. Bretta delights in taunting Caroline and pointing out that Caroline is "just a groom." Bretta is also cruel to her National Show Horse, Dazzle, and one day Caroline has had enough. That's when the real trouble begins. This horse tale reminds readers that through hard work, any dream is possible, whether you're rich, poor or somewhere in between. It also incorporates much of the vocabulary used and includes an extensive glossary. There is a page for entering information about the reader's favorite horse, and a page listing contact information for the American Saddlebred, Arabian, Morgan and National Show Horse breed associations, so young riders can learn more about the horses they love.
