Free Rein: The Steeplechase Secret

Product Information

Although Geordie had a head start, Hannah’s taller gelding Jasper took longer strides and managed to just overtake the mare by the end of the paddock. Zoe meets Raven, an incredibly glamorous black number straight out of the Lloyds adverts, cursed with staggeringly incompetent yard owners who fail to look after him beyond whispering dire warnings about Raven being a bit tricky.

He stares at Bob's stall for a second before turning to me as I yank one of the heart shaped balloons away from me.In this original novel based on the hit Netflix TV show, Zoe and Jade's friendship is put to the test when they compete for a spot in a high-profile riding clinic. Jacqui ran closer, standing at the fence line to watch the three moving across the middle of the arena and then changing direction. The fact that a show jumper pair, no matter how decorated, could not only confidently consider a steeplechase but also become a favorite in one is beyond belief.

It champions the tireless commitment and energy that goes hand in hand with horses and has fast become the well-informed read for competitors, owners, supporters and enthusiasts at every level and from every discipline. And it is a JOY to finally have non-white characters, plural, in the very white environs of pony entertainment, and even more so that this is never mentioned, it’s just a thing that is. Zoe, Becky and Jade are determined to figure out what's going on, especially since their friend could be in danger. Now, fifteen years later I have been able to incorporate the idea of this event into my latest Free Rein book. But the addictive deliciousness of Free Rein is that so much about its horsecare (other than Bob, a splendidly recalcitrant cob) is so magnificently, awfully wrong that it’s like watching the cast of Game of Thrones trying to organise a Sunday school picnic.Kate King had offered the girls a chance to keep their horses at the property Genesis for free, as long as they helped out around the property for a number of hours each week. Suddenly, we hear a commotion behind us and look to see Bob charging in our direction, red ribbons stuck to him and two red heart shaped balloons in his mouth. She patted Matty’s neck, thankful that the little pony hadn’t resisted a gallop across the freeway paddock.

These days, she lives in Brooklyn, New York, within several blocks of a few Pokémon gyms and Prospect Park, which has full herds of Eevee rambling in the meadow.Little things like that are just sloppy writing from an adult perspective, but kids won't be bothered in the slightest. The mare’s white socks and flaxen mane and tail were given a really good scrub with the sponge, making sure that shampoo got worked in thoroughly. Curious, she climbed over a small hill that was made up of a large concrete pipe covered over with soil. The riders are introduced to this new event at Riding Club and told they will be partnered up to compete against each other.

Scholastic has a good eye for shows and movies that young readers are watching, and as much as I enjoyed Partridge Family mystery series when I was young, I really can't fault them! Within the space of one riding lesson (on the bewildering “free lesson list” – where is this list, and how do I get on it? Start by watering at the base of Dollar’s front left foot and work your way up her leg until you reach her shoulder. I don’t really know what I’m doing,” Jacqui said uncertainly, holding the hose that Jan had given her.I think it's just not really in my age group, I would say if I were a few years younger I would like this but it wasn't very enjoyable for me.
