I think that Bonnie's writing in this book was horrible. The girls are turning childish and stupid. Not to mention, the books are getting unrealistic--pink breeches? Yeah right! And I hate the real people on the cover. They're way too young. Anyways, this was the book that made me decide to stop reading the saddle club series. I used to LOVE them, and it felt kinda like I was growing up with Carole, Lisa, and Stevie, but now the girls just act younger and younger. To make a long story short, I don't recommend this book.
