5.0 out of 5 stars IT WAS OKAY BUT NOT A THOUGHOBRED BOOK AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, June 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Camp Saddlebrook (Thoroughbred Series #28) (Paperback)

Okay I have been reading these books since the first one, I mean all the ones in the series and the super specials,everything but I have never read any thing like this before. It was BAD!! I want to know what happent to all the racing. I loved Joanna's writing and liked Karen Bently's But this is bad!! What happened to Ashleigh, Mike, Cindy, Sammantha, Tor, Max, Ashleigh's baby, Sammantha's baby, Will, Len, And all the horses. This is about JUMPING not RACING like it was orriginally. I have nothing against jumping, I mean I love it and I do it myslf, but I want to be a jockey. Reading the Thourghbred books taught ne somthing about it. Joanna I am BEGGING you to please come back to writing the books again!!! Joanna you are going to loose customers if you do not start writing the books again!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!HELP!!!!!HELP!!!!HELP!!!

Yes, I ride Hunter/Jumper and I like to read about jumping. But why did Joanna Campbell give up this series- only to start ANOTHER ONE that was similar to the early Thoroughbred books? WHAT'S THE POINT?

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Camp Saddlebrook (Thoroughbred Series #28) (Paperback)

In Camp Saddlebrook, Christina Reese and her cousin from New York Melanie Graham finally go to camp for 3 weeks. They thought they would have nothing to do but ride their horses Sterling Dream, Christinas gray thoroughbred mare and Tribulation, Christinas pony which she outgrown and Melanie was able to ride. When they get their, they where told a few rules which was going to be kinda annoying. Christina, Melanie, Eliza and another girl would be in barn A and on the same team in the same room. At first Christina thought Eliza would be a good friend but them after a few words from Eliza, Christina thought Eliza was a little snot. Eliza keep talking about how Christina is a little spoiled brat and could get anything with a snap from her finger. But Christina soon finds out Eliza doesnt even have her own horse to ride. The horse she was riding, Flash wasnt really hers and her parents couldnt afford to keep him so Flashs owner lets Eliza take Flash to camp. Christina and Melanie both see a strong bond between them and when they find out Flashs owner wants to sell him, they know they need to help Eliza make enough money to keep Flash. The first buyer disliked Flash after he rode him. The man seemed like he didnt even know how to ride a horse and relief turns into another worry. During alittle trial at Saddlebrook, another buyer tried out the colt herself. Christina thought that if Eliza wasnt his rider, the women would be a good rider for Flash. But how can they stop the owner from selling Flash? Read Camp Saddlebrook (...)
