I absolutely love every one of Lauraine Snelling's books for young adults!She is my favorite author.I have collected all of the High Hudles and all of the Golden Filly Series.The Golden Filly Series got me started on racing and the High Hudles got me interested in jumping.I am just so excited that there are books like these out there!These have to be the only Christian Horse series that I know of.I absolutely love them and can't wait for the next book!

I've read all of Lauraine Snelling's Teen and Young Adult book's and they are great! She portrays the struggle of life for us kids.

DJ Randall is stuck in the middle when she finds she has more and more to do and not enough hours in the day! First, she's stricken with and illness that keeps her out of school for a week. Just when it seems the mountain of homework she has to do can't get any higher, it grows. Not to mention she also let her algebra grade slip and gets on restrictions at the worst possible time. An art weekend she qualifies for with pictures of Stormy, her new foal, falls on the same as the show season. When DJ turns down the invitation without consultiing her family, her mother is furious. She also has to take care of Major, even though restrictions won't allow her to ride him, as well as work with Patches, Andrew, her class of 3 girls, and then she has Bunny's horse to take care of for a week. On top of all that, her mother has gone to war with her again. It seems nobody in the family knows what she's going through. How in the world is DJ gonna get out of this one?

I love this book!
It is one of my favorite
ones in the whole series.
I love the little foal it's so cute!

This was a very interesting book. As DJ ajusts to a very new life at home, life with a family, things aren't going so well with her new brothers. As feelings of jealousy for them threaten to overwelhm her and when a horse show comes between DJ and her art, a full-fledged family war is on the brink of erupting...

This book is really great! I wish everyone could have the chance of reading this whole series! It really is the best. DJ seems so real. She's a real person with real problems, just like the readers. Great reading!
