A great sequel to the start of the most amazing horse series ever created. Now that Wonder's survived death, she begins her training. Unfortunately, things are not going as well as Ashleigh had hoped and it's not looking good for her super horse. Luckily, for Wonder, Ashleigh doesn't give up easily!
Wonder, the horse nobody thought would even live, is now strong and old enough to be trained! Ashleigh is thrilled... But Wonder doesn't take well to her harsh trainer, and becomes disobediant and wild, prompting the fed-up trainer to say she's untrainable! Even worse, Wonder doesn't even seem to like or recognize Ashleigh anymore. Has training ruined this wonderful filly for good? A VERY good Thoroughbred book!

Joanna Campbell is a pseudonym used by Jo Ann Simon who was born and raised in Norwalk, Connecticut. Campbell wrote in the evenings after spending days working a full time job for a small corporate importing company. Her first book, Love Once In Passing, an adult time travel romance, was published by Avon Books in November 1981, after which show more Campbell was contracted to write several more time travel adult novels. She was still writing adult novels, but was persuaded to write several horse books for Bantam. Because of the success of the Bantam books, A Horse of Her Own, and The Wild Mustang, she was approached several years later to write a four book series about Thoroughbred racing, and thus began the Thoroughbred Series. She wrote the first 14 books in the series, as well as Shadowbrook Farm and Battlecry Forever!. In 1996, she chose to focus on writing adult novels and let other writers take over writing all future Thoroughbred books. There are now several authors involved in continuing the series, which numbers over 50 and still bears the name of it's creator. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
