In Cindys Honor, Cindy Mclean is finally a jockey. Cindy rode Wonders Champion to victory in the Dubia World Cup. Wonders Champion was one of Whitebrooks fastest horses ever. Champion won the Tripple Crown with Ashleigh Griffen riding him. Wonders Champion was sure a champion. Cindy watched the colt grow up to be the biggest threat in the country. Now that Honor Bright was old enough to race. Honor Bright was Townsend Princess first foal. Townsend was also a great racehorse like her brother, Champion. Cindy watched the filly play with the other yearlings and beating them in racing around the paddock up to be a promsing racehorse. But during a workout, Honor throws Cindy off and Cindy is forced from riding. Cindy wont be allowed to ride any of the other horses and Cindy knows only she can ride Honor. Honor Bright is a picky filly who only likes certain people riding her. Then Cindy finds out, Ashleigh Griffen, the famous jockey who owned half intrest in Honor and helped trained the racehorses has put up one of Townsend Acres jockeys up on the filly. Townsend Acres was almost a rival with Whitebrook Farm for their racehorses. Cindy askes Ashleigh why she wont ride Honor when Ashleigh tells Cindy she is pregnate again. Will Cindy obey the doctors orders or will she watch someone else ride her beloved filly? Find out in Cindys Honor. Or email me at Blades60@aol.com

I really miss Ashleigh and Samantha, what's with cindy? I mean she was okay in the start, though I could tell something wasn't right, then I found that Joanna had stopped writing and it was someone else! that's where the difference came in, it wasn't Joanna's writing style at all, thought I'm sure Bentley did her best. It's just that Cindy seems so...I don't know snobbish? I mean, every good horse has to be her's. And I thought thi series was about Ashleigh? Then Samantha? when someone starts focusing to much on one character like Cindy, it throws the whole thing off. The series started with Ash and Sammy, I thought Sammy and Tor would get married! (Though in Super Addition Samantha's Journey, I find out that they do!) Anyways, I just wish more of the stories could be focused back on the favourites.
Thanks, Kee

I think this book was so much better thaen any of Bentley's books! I ahev the whole TB series and got this book today. in this book Cindy tells about the accident from her point of view. Then it tells abotu Cindy's rehab afterwards. Ashliegh gets pergnent again so she hires Livina's cousin to jockey Honor. He almost ruins her so Cindy forces herself to ride honor even though she may injur her arm again. They win of course. In the next book time warps so that Christina is the main charcter and she loves jumping.

This book began so weird. I couldn't really pinpoint what it was about this book that really made me squirm until maybe two minutes ago. I think it's just that it thrusts you right into the story with no subtle reminders of where you are and who these people are that you're reading about. All the previous books take some time to tell you a little about the previous life. This one doesn't do that. Honor is just suddenly falling down and Cindy is breaking her arm. There is no mention of what Champion has been up to at all. He just seems to be in stasis until Cindy decides to pull him, him of all horses, out of the stall and use him as her personal guinea pig. Ugh. And what is with Cindy being the only one knowing that the new jockey isn't worth their time? Oh, wise and experienced Cindy can tell them where they're wrong. I'm sure writing Cindy is a challenge, but it could have been done so much better.

My only thought with this book is that Cindy is SO completely obsessed with riding this horse. She just goes a little overboard sometimes. In one of them, I can't quite remember which one, but I didn't really like the fact that Cindy was so obsessed with becoming a good jockey and winning that she didn't spend as much time as she should have with her friends. I do enjoy most of the books though. Speacially the ones with Samantha! And one more thing, in #23 Ashliegh said she couldn't ride because she was going to have another baby. What happened to that baby? Christina obviously didn't have a little brother or sister in #24 and up.

I really love the Tb series and I'm 15 and have read it since it first came out. I really didn't like this too much. What about Tor and Sammy? They were always my favorites. I really think that Cindy should have been more reasonable, too. But it was still enjoyable.

ok I have read this book butmu know i ddin't care or understand why this writer is know switching.You see we know have Allison after Karen after joanna.Great !going Bests books to horibble books! I swear. i mean Cindy is soooo jealous it's scary!what a snoT! And all of her"wounds" couldn't have healed so quickly. Also what ever happend to Sam getting Married by know she should at least have told her parents.Also in Super Edition 4 Sam is 23 but in #23 she is 21!! Wow she must time worp!!!! Well that is all I have to say except if u like jumping read the next couple books K!

This was a better book so far by Karen Bently, but I must ask "Who In The Heck Does Karen Bently Think She Is!?" It is so far out of whack it isn't funny! Karen Bently has taken a wonderful series and turned them to mush! How in the world does she get off by saying Cindy is so perfect! Ashleigh would never, ever have acted the way she is portrayed. There's no way that real track officials would let Cindy ride in her condition. Cindy is a little BRAT and I'm tired of her. So get a life Bently and learn how to write books. Geez, I could do better than you!!

Here's my opinion. Karen Bentley was trying hard to please us. She probably read all these, no wonder she quit writing it. The only book I didn't like by her was Glory's Triumph. I tihnk the series would have been good if the new authors (Allison Estes and co.) stayed with at least Bentley's facts. Like that Ashleigh was pregnant again. I agree with Claire: I wish wholeheartedly that Christina had had a sister that was into racing. My name is Christina, and I love both three day eventing, show jumping, and racing. So please everyone. We don't want this series to end suddenly, so let's take what we have and hold onto it. Don't lose it or we'll lose this series. Christina

This book is definitely one of the best in the Thoroughbred series. It really tells what its like to have a horse that you have a very special bond with. I would definitely recommend it!!!
