5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!!, October 15, 2001

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this book! I've read it a million times and I'm still not sick of it! It's the first book that I've read from the series and it's inspired me to read the others. This book is realistic to me because every young girls can really relate to wanting that one special horse. Also, this book has a part inwhich Cassie is in her riding lesson, so readers can learn more about good posture and tecniques when they ride.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, February 21, 2005

By 

Flame_926 "flame_926" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Riding School Rivals (Treasured Horses) (Paperback)

When I heard about the title of this book and the breed featured I ordered it. I was disappointed to read the book and discover that the riding school was not the Spanish Riding School and the horse featured really could have been any other breed. To add insult to injury it was not a dressage horse. If I had written the book I would have made it more historical and with a cavalry/dressage focus instead of hunter/jumper.

I gave the book three stars because I thought that it was a cute story but I would have rather seen it not proclaimed as a "story of a majestic lippizan(er) horse."

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiring Book, October 10, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Riding School Rivals (Treasured Horses Collection) (Library Binding)

I love this book, although I have a 13+ reading level. It is fun to read, and nobody will get sick of it. When Cassie falls in love with Birchwood's new horse, she is horrified to learn that snobby, highly self opinionated Hillary also likes the horse. Hillary demands to ride him, but she isn't right for Majesty. Who will ride this great horse? I find this series, espcially this book, inspiring. It is great for those with dreams to lease of own a horse, and who love to ride. It is modern, so I could relate to it. It is impossable to explain the great read it is, so just buy it or check it out yourself!
