Trigger warning for animal death. I wasn't the intended audience for this. I read this after reading part of a surprisingly stupid book about another animal death. This was more realistic, engaging and enjoyable than the other. It's a great book for horse people and probably people learning to ride. The audience is likely young children but it's educational to anyone. The conflicts and rivalries are believable. There's tons of exposition, weird jokes, stupid jokes, and plot contrivance. But this is one of the times I understood why it was all being done and approved. I'm glad I got ahold of this.

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 show more death of a beloved horse, but Bryant still manages to keep it light for her readers, with a more than happy ending. show less
