Realistic and always Horse Based
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I just love this book ! I can't say it was my favourite but it came close. The Ashleigh series is so realistic.I liked having Rhoda come to stay she seemed nice and friendly. Ashleigh and her were bothed faced with normal every day fears. I think the reasons I like this series so much is because 1. I love both horses and racing, 2. Ashleigh and her family deal with regular issues and 3.I can relate to the characters the author makes it feel like you right there with the characters! This series is great I wish it could last ! Keep up the good Work!
A Great Book For All To Enjoy!

"A Dangerous Ride" is one of the best books I've read. It expresses both courage and stregth, while at the same time, shows kindness and emotion. Ashleigh is very brave and she is the kind of rider I would like to be. I highly recomend this book for all young readers.
Sounds great! We're going to get it ASAP!

When Ashleigh and Mona start to compete at horse shows, Ashleigh wants to move beyond jumping and race thoroughbreds. She gets the chance to prove herself during a top-rated show, when a fluke accident forces Ashleigh to ride like a jockey.

Joanna is a great auther, but I was wandering why another auther is writing some of her books? Even in the Thoroughbred books another auther is writing them. I can't wait till all the other books come out. It is so exiting to read about them. I can't put the ___Joanna Campbell___ books down.
I love to hear more about Ashleigh!

I am so glad they came out with this new series. They stopped writing about Ashleigh much too soon! It's a wonderful series that all horse lovers should read, even if it isn't as exciting as when she wins the Kentucky Derby and the other Triple Crown races.
