It was pretty good but I like all of the saddle club books but what happened to being best friends and sticking together through thick and thin?

HORSE SENSE is the third book in THE SADDLE CLUB series, and it seems that although Stevie, Carole, and Lisa all love being in the club, they're having trouble finding time for each other. Carole is monitoring the pregnancy of one of the mares at Pine Hollow, Stevie is in charge of coming up with gymkhana events, and Lisa decides to make official rules for the club, and possibly even add a new member.

Lisa meets Estelle and thinks she'd be a great addition to the club, but Stevie and Carole are too busy with their individual projects and they keep forgetting the meetings that Lisa has scheduled. Lisa invites Estelle into the club without consulting her friends, and they don't seem too happy. It finally takes the birth of a foal to bring the three girls back together and restore the Saddle Club.

I've been a fan of THE SADDLE CLUB series for a very long time, and while HORSE SENSE isn't one of my favorites, I'm sure it will still appeal to horse-loving girls everywhere.

While Stevie prepares games for an upcoming gymkana, Lisa develops a constitution for the Saddlel Club, and Carole prepares the stable mare Delilah for her upcoming birth. The girls get so caught up in their own projects that they forget to stick together. It takes the birth of the foal to show the girls they're better off when they pull together.

This is definitly not one of Bryant's best. She focused too much on Lisa's goodie-goodieness. Lisa is made out to be dumb, and assuming...which she is not. I think Bryant should have focused more on the good qualities of the girls- it's too early to start showing faults in the girls so early in the series. But it is an important part of the series so I recomend reading if your serious about reading all the books this is a must.

I own every Saddle Club book and they are all great. In this book I like the plot. Lisa might have gone overboard just a little. I like the Saddle Club how it is now-with just two rules. Being horse crazy and helping each other out are the best rules that there could ever be. But I do think the Stevie and Carol could have paid a little more attention to Lisa and the times of her meetings. All three girls just got a caught up in their own thing that they had to do. If anyone wants to talk about the Saddle Club or be penpals please e-mail me at Lschilling@adelphia.net Thanks :-)
