Hoofprints in the Snow (Thoroughbred #56) [School & Library Binding]

J. Campbell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2002

Lyssa Hynde knows the Wyoming winters are cold, lonely, and dangerous. But she wouldn't give them up for anything. There's nothing she likes better than to gallop her three-day event horse, Blue, through knee-high fresh powder.

One day when she's out for her morning ride, Lyssa follows a trail of mysterious hoofprints that takes her high into the mountains. Climbing a snowdrift, she and Blue set off an avalanche that builds in forces as it heads straight for her ranch.

Will Lyssa make it home in time to warn her family and save the other animals? Will she find the mystery horse that led her astray in the first place?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!!, January 4, 2003

This review is from: Hoofprints in the Snow (Thoroughbred #56) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was one of my favorites. But I don't get it, in book #50 it was Rolex now Lyssa's training for Rolex. What's up with that? Even though it didn't make sense this book grabbed me from the start. I read the whole thing the afternoon I got it. This is a great book if you like danger and exeitment and you don't mind a little confusion (about Rolex) than this book's for you.

This review is from: Hoofprints in the Snow (Thoroughbred #56) (Mass Market Paperback)

How did this fit in with the series?

On the cover, Blue (or so I think it's Blue) is seen as being well formed and rather attractive. This is NOT how he is portrayed in the book.
Unfortunately, this book has nothing to do with the rest of the Thoroughbred series, and there is no connection, unless you count Lyssa thinking about Parker and Christina. Lyssa is chasing after a stolen horse, but it ends up the way most books end up- Lyssa ends up liking the thief.
In this book it is revealed that Mitch, the cowhand, actually has a girlfriend, so he and Lyssa won't be getting together anytime soon, unlike what most people thought no thanks to Star's Chance.
This book gets unrealistic like all the TB series- Tony Ransom, the thief, leads Mystic, a lame mare, up a mountain. No no no, this would most definitely not happen in real life. A lame horse could barely walk three meters without being in pain. Lyssa also rides Blue up and down a mountain- big no no. I am an eventer, and I know for a fact that riding a horse up and down a mountain can lead to a serious risk of fracturing a bone or nerve. Lyssa, an eventing pro, should know better than to endanger Blue.
So all in all, its a pretty good read, but watch out for the things that you know aren't true.
