Parker's Passion (Thoroughbred) [School & Library Binding]

J. Campbell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2003 | Series: Thoroughbred

Parker has never wanted to run Townsend Acres,
but when Brad makes him an offer he can't refuse...

Parker Townsend has always had one passion: eventing. And as he works with a legendary trainer in England, it seems as if Parker's dreams are about to come true. But Parker's scheming father, Brad, wants Parker to give up his “foolish” dreams of competing in the Olympics to manage Townsend Acres when Brad retires.

Parker isn't tempted . . . until Brad buys two horses whose lineages can be traced back to the legendary Welton line! Horses like these would improve Parker's chances of competing in the Olympics, and staying in Kentucky would mean more time with Christina. In his head, Parker knows that he'll be better off if he continues with his training . . . but his heart has other ideas.

Be sure to check out the photograph and bio of the legendary Welton Romance inside!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good, October 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Parker's Passion (Thoroughbred Series #61) (Paperback)

Though I don't get why Parker is putting a WESTERN SADDLE on a horse that I assume must be Star's back on the cover, this book was really good. I've been reading these books since I was in 3rd grade and I haven't missed one yet! (though now they are a simple read for me)
In this book Parker's father, Brad, tries to tempt Parker him to takeing over Townsend Acres when he retires, by buying Parker not 1 but 2 REALLY expensive top-of-the-line eventing horses. Will Parker accept the horses and fall into Brad's trap? Read this book and find out!

Why is Parker putting a WESTERN saddle on a horse that looks like Wonder Star? That just doesn't seem right. But other than that this book is GREAT, REALLY GREAT.

I have been reading these book since I was ten. An get the newones on the day they come out.

And for the person said Christina is a brat, DON'T LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!!!!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Parker's Passion (Thoroughbred Series #61) (Paperback)

Well, I enjoyed reading this book. Though why is Parker putting on a WESTERN saddle on a horse that looks like Star? Parker had to make some pretty tough choices in here, but in the end it all worked out for the best. Wow, imagine having an oppourtunity to own two horses with Olympic caliber and having to turn it down.
