I really don't get how people could possibly give this book bad reviews. I was a little sad when Ashleigh couldn't ride Glory any more but I was excited about her having a baby. I simply love the Thoroughbred books and I loved this one too. My favorite one is Ashleigh's Christmas Miracle and I've read a lot of them. I strongly suggest you read it along with all the rest. But if you are considering reading Ashleigh's Farewell don't listen to what everyone says because it's a good book and so are all the other Thoroughbred books. There is one for every kind of person and you might just find one you like. I give this book a 4 star rating because I like some of them better. But I've read 1-18,plus Ashleigh's Diary, Samantha's Journey, Ashleigh's Christmas Miracle, and I plan to read Ashleigh's Hope next. I may only be 11, but I know a lot about horses and about these books and I think you should give this book a try. Keep writing Joanna ang I'll keep reading. Signed, Your biggest fan

I think all of the Thoroughbred books are great!!! This proves it once again! I love the way they describe the races and the surroundings! This book really catches your attention!! please E-mail me! I'd love to talk about the Thoroughbred series!!

In Ashleighs Farewell, March To Glorys racing career is getting better by the second. He wins race after race after race nonstop. Watching Glory and his jockey Ashleigh Griffen run under Whitebrook colors puts pride and joy in Cindy heart. Whitebrook is a large thoroughbred training and breeding farm. Ashleigh griffen and her husband Mike Reese own Whitebrook farm and produced many winning thoroughbreds. Ashleigh Griffen is one of the best jockeys in the country. Winning races on Glory makes it even better. But durning a workout, Ashleigh falls off Glory but she and Mike where smiling. Then she tells everyone that she is pregnate. But that could only mean one thing, Ashleigh cant ride Glory in his races. Ashleigh has decided to quit riding for a while and help coach Cindy and the other excerise riders. But when Ashleigh puts up a new rider, Glory wont perform. In his next race, Glory loses his very first race by a neck. Cindy knows Glory wont perform well for any body but Ashleigh and her. But Cindy is too young to be a jockey. But when the Breeders Cup Classics a few weeks away and Glory entered in it, who will ride? Find out if Glory and his new rider wins or Glory falls back.

I really like Ashleigh's Farewell. I thought it was well thought out. Please, if you are getting ready to read this book,don't listen to what everyone else says. This book is good and it takes you on the backside of tons of different race tracks and tells you how things on the track are done. I would strongly recommend this book. The ending is a little sad but other than that, I loved it! I am sure you will too. So go out and read it!

The Cindy and second generation eventing portions of the series were dark days for Thoroughbred. The plots have since switched back to racing and the newest few books have been exceptional. Just as we thought there was hope for the Thoroughbred series to be restored to its former glory Harper Collins has decided to end the series abruptly after #72. With such a dedicated following and online fan base with members from all over the world, this is a classic and beloved series that has inspired many people and provided horse fans with vicarious thrills and adventure. Ashleigh saved Wonder, now it's up to you to help save Thoroughbred. [...]

I give this book 2 stars. I mean, really happy ending. I personally think that Ashleigh shouldn't have given Brad and his wife Lavina (two snotty no good rats)half-interest in Glory. I feel bad for Cindy. Hey, Glory is her horse and Brad+Lavina are ruthless and careless with their horses. I also wonder what happened to Glory. I think that Cindy should own Glory completely. Cindy pretty cool, but my favorite character is Melanie. I hope Joanna Campell will write more books about her and Christina. I also wonder what happened to Cassidy. They should tell more about her.

I think the thoroughbred books are just a BOMB I read your 1rst one (A Horse Called Wonder) and NEVER stopped reading them. If Joanna quit writing the thoroughbred series I would be shocked

This is a good book. Ashleigh is pregnant! But there is one problem with that-who will ride Glory? Read this book to find out. It's exciting!!

Well, It was okay.. There was just one thing I don't get and this is it... In A Christmas Mirical Ashliegh has a baby... right? They don't mention Cindy at all! Now she's going to have another baby... and Cindys there!

i got excited too about Ashleigh's baby, but guess what it never comes. The books skip 10 years and the baby is never mentioned again. What is the point of this book if its not followed through. PUH-LEASE!
