Author:Bonnie Bryant
The three members of the Saddle Club - Carole, Lisa, and Stevie - are the best of friends, bonded by their special love of horses. Now they're together on the long-awaited Mountain Trail Overnight. They are having such a perfect time that nothing - not even Veronica, the richest and snobbiest girl at the stables - can spoil their fun. But the impossible does happen. A tragic accident, caused by Veronica's carelessness, makes Carole lose the one thing she loved most in the world. Is her grief enough to make her give up riding forever?
