Wonder's had a winner born. A silky brown colt that looks just like her was born.Ashligh is naming him Wonder's Pride. But trouble has just risin when Brad returns to the farm. Worst of all, Wonders Pride might be sold!Can Samantha save Wonder's Pride from the auction block?Townsed Acres is under lots of pressure. Ashligh is in need of help.But what can two gils do to save an intire farm?

This is defintly one of my favorite TB. Pride's training is going well, and Samantha even gets to help train him! But then the owner of the farm says that the farm is going bankrupt, and may need to sell Pride and Wonder for money. Ashleigh and Samantha must preswade him to keep the colt and the mare on the farm. Will Pride and Wonder be sold, or will they stay? Find out in number 6 of the TB series!

I have to say this was the best book so far and Wonder retired! The way Ashleigh and Samantha fought fo Pride was awesome. It was so good and couldn't put it down. I think Mr. Townsend was out of his mind to even think of selling his half-interest in the colt. But it was a shame that Ashleigh couldn't find the money to buy him out. But who cares, as long as Pride, Samantha, and Ashleigh are all at Whitebrook happy with Pride!!!

I liked this one a lot because it was a change of pace from the other books. I know that these are dedicated to racing,which I like,but I liked the idea of a different subject. More of a crisis.

Ashleigh's Wonder's first foal, Pride, hits the track for the first time. One of my favorites in the series.

Samantha McLean thinks her heart is going to break when she finds out that her beloved Wonder's Pride is going to be sold. With the help of Ashleigh Griffen, her dad, and friends, she is able to keep Wonder's Pride. But after a series of events, she and her father are forced to leave Townsend Acres. To horse lovers this book, Wonder's Yearling, is fantastic.
The book was fantastic because it was very suspenseful. One example was when Samantha found out that they might have to sell Wonder and Wonder's Pride. This was suspenseful because Mr. Townsend said he would try and find a way to save the farm and the horses. Another example was when a person who was interested in buying pride's share, comes to inspect him. This was suspenseful because Ashleigh and Sam thought Mr. Townsend had decided to sell. The last example was when Brad Townsend fought with Sam's dad, and fires Mr. McLean. They have nowhere to live. That is why it is suspenseful.
The book was fantastic because it explained the characters to the point where you love them. One example was when you learn about Sam's mother who died. You feel sorry when you read about it. Another time was when you learn about how Sammy has moved a lot and to so many different places. You can also feel sorry for here too. The last example of when you understand her was when you meet the characters and read a paragraph of their background and their history.
The last reason why this book was fantastic was because it was about horses. An example from the book is Pride, a chestnut gelding about one year old and very strong and energetic. The second horse is Fleet Goddess. She is a black mare who is fully owned by Ashleigh. Wonder, a chestnut mare, is a famous racer who won the Kentucky Derby. Pride is her colt and is supposed to be just as skilled as his mother. Both Wonder and Pride are half owned by Mr. Townsend and half by Ashleigh.
If you absolutely love horses, this book is for you. It has a little bit of romance, but is many about a girl with a passion for horses. It, also, has suspense and you get to know the characters more.

Samantha McLean and Wonder's first foal, Pride, are in the spotlight in this beloved addition to the Thoroughbred series. Edge of your seat horse racing and human conflict make this truly well-written book a staple in any young horse lover's collection. Unfortunately, Harper Collins has decided to end the series abruptly after #72. With such a dedicated following and online fan base with members from all over the world, this is a classic and beloved series that has inspired many people and provided horse fans with vicarious thrills and adventure. Ashleigh saved Wonder, now it's up to you to help save Thoroughbred. [...].

The Townsends would NEVER sink so low as to sell Wonder's first foal. Maybe Brad, but not Townsend Sr. I mean seriously, they must have seen that he had the most potential on the farm. Kind of scattered. The townsends will really get on your nerves after this.

This was fantastic! It goes down the line of Wonder's offspring, and changes people, which is also a nice change. It shows how Samantha is determined to save "her" beloved horse from being gone forever. I recommend this to EVERYONE!!
