5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, June 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pride's Challenge (Thoroughbred) (Turtleback)

I've read every book in the series and this is the best one by far. I liked it because for one it wasn't about jumping and two because it was just really really good. First Brad got a new horse a multimillion dollar English Thoroughbred named Lord Ainsley. They race Pride against him but luckily he wins. Ashleigh and Mike are getting married but at their wedding Charlie dies and Ashleigh thinks that she cant train because Charlie taught her every thing. But luckily she finaly got her head on straight. Also Tor and Samantha got in a big fight but they too worked it out. I would have rated this book 10 stars but it only goes up to five. If you haven't read this book I strongly suggest that you do.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5+, December 23, 2001

By	"razzle271" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pride's Challenge (Thoroughbred Series #9) (Mass Market Paperback)

Oh my gosh! This book was sooo good! It is one of my favorite books ever! Okay, first Brad and Lavinia get this million+ horse and think he is better than Pride. They think Pride is burnt out because of his injury. But then Pride beats their horse, Lord Ainsley. Lavinia and Brad are furious. They try all sorts of tricks to get to Ashleigh and she is getting married too. At Ashleigh's wedding Charlie has a heart attack and dies! :(!!! Charlie was soooooo cool! I miss him so much as I continue to read this series. Ashleigh doesn't think she can go on without him, especilly when B and L didn't tell Ashleigh that Jilly couldn't ride and put up a jockey from Mexico who listens to B and L's instructions but not Ash's. He holds Pride back and almost ruins him, then Pride breaks away and wins anyway. Lavinia and Brad are furious. When they go to the winner's circle Pride tried to bite L and they leave. Shows those snobby Townsend Acres brats that Whitebrook always comes out on TOP!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!!!!!!!, April 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pride's Challenge (Thoroughbred Series #9) (Mass Market Paperback)

Mike and Ashleigh are finally getting married!!! But when Charlie, the old trainer, dies Ashleigh must take all of what he has taught her, but it won't be easy. Brad Townsend, the biggest jerk at Tonsend Acres, is on his father's case about letting Wonder's Pride be trained at Townsend Acres. But Ashleigh and Samantha, Pride's trainers already have a problem to face, Lord Ainsley. The big thoroughbred, owned by Brad Townsend and his snobby wife Lavinia Townsend, is picking up victory after victory. Lavinia and Brad will do anything to keep Pride from the winner's circle so their horse can win.
