This book was more than good it was great! Pam Crandal entered Lightning, the connemara pony in a show jumping class, inspired by olympic star Eleanor Morgan and her thoroughbred Starfire. But Lightning is in one more class, with Rosalie Lacey on her back she is going to win a walk, trot class.Pam then finds out that there are two rings and that their classes are at the same time.Who will ride Lightning? Pam or Rosalie?

this book was ok but it confused me a little .In book three 'The Winning Pony' it said that Pam loved jumping after the show. So why did they say she hated it. I think she's crazy to hate jumping. It's sooooooo much fun.But still I recomend this book.If you get ENJOY IT!!!!!!!

I liked this book because it was based on Lightening (Pam's pony). In the book, there is a race which Lightening wins! I really like these books...they are the best books ever! I love Pam the best. My friend Jackie & I play Pony Pals after school ALOT!

I think this is an extremally great Pony Pal book.My white welsh pony Acorn loves jumping.We don't enter in any shows but I always do mini-comititions with my mum and her brown thoroubred horse Sam.And sometimes with my sister and her bay very fiesty morgan/thoroubred Bill.Pam and her pretty chestnut connamara pony Lightning love to jump.But Pam dosn't like horse shows.Anna is entering on her bay shetland Acorn and Lulu on her white welsh Snow white.Then Pams mums friend comes along.Ealanor is a world known Olympic rider.She has a chestnut thoroubred named Starfire.Starfire has a white star on his forehead and Lightning an upside-down heart.Ealanor convinces Pam to enter the show.Pam,Anna and Lulu are excited.But Pam said that Rosalie could ride Lightning in the show.And then walk,trot and jumping are called at the same time!Pam faces a hard choice.Find out what she does.

This book is about a girl and her pony pals.She enters a horse show on her pony Lightning, only to promise that 6 year old Rosalie Lacey could ride Lightning in a Walk, Trot class,but when the classes are called they both need to ride Lightning at the same time.

I am a long time fan of the Pony Pals, and even though I haven't read this book I recomend the series to all horse and pony lovers who like adventure and nature. I have to disagree strongly with those who say the sentences are "choppy." I read the excerpts and find that they may be choppy for children above the age of 10, that they are perfectly acceptable for those under 10. Thanks,

Horse Lover

I agree COMPLETLY with you, "a reader"! You have all of the facts in line! I'm VERY dissapointed with the book. And what's happened to the artwork quality? And the sentences are short and choppy, too! THIS BOOK REALLY NEEDS IMPROVEMENT, AND FAST, otherwise other people will stop reading the whole series COMPLETELY!

This was a very bad book! First of all, Pam's mother happened to be best friends with an Olympic champion, but they never mentioned it before this book. Eleanor wouldn't just pop out of nowhere. Also, the jumps it showed Eleanor jumping were about three feet high. In the Olympics jumps go up to over seven feet!And it never said how high Pam and Eleanor jumped. It just says, "Eleanor was jumping huge jumps." "Eleanor raised the pole to the top hole in the jump standard and Pam and Lightning easily cleared it." If that happened, Pam would be jumping higher than Eleanor. And also, the Pony Pals decide to ask Mimi's family to buy "Chicago," just to let Rosalie have whatever she wants. First of all, since Mimi has a pony, Rosalie would probably already be jealous of her and it would be dumb to make her even more jealous. Second, Rosalie ALWAYS gets what she wants. Just because she can't have a pony doesn't mean that she's underprivleged or something. She gets riding lessons for free! And at the horse show, when it's time for Pam's jumpign class and also Rosalie's class, Rosalie just yanks on Pam's arm and says, "Come on! We're going to miss my class!" And Pam doesn't say that she needs Lightning. Or, Pam could have been last in the jumping class and jumped when Rosalie was done. Jumping classes take a LOT longer than walk/trot classes.All in all, this book was very bad.
