Carole has the chance to train Samson, Pine Hollow's new foal. Stevie has a visitor from Washington, D.C., a fun-loving kid named Trudy who knows nothing about horses. And Lisa has been hired to write 'Hoof Beat', a weekly column about riding for the local paper - with pay! Everything's going well for the girls until Lisa's first column gets published. Then suddenly everyone at the stables is furious with her for making private news public. All Lisa wants is to be a good journalist and write the facts, but with each new article she's driving her friends further away. Will Lisa understand the responsibility that comes with the power of the press before it's too late
Bonnie Bryant is the author of nearly a hundred books about horses, including The Saddle Club, Pine Hollow and Pony Tails series. She has also written novels and movie novelisations under her married name, B.B. Hiller. Ms Bryant began writing The Saddle Club in 1986. Although she had done some riding before that, she intensified her studies then and found herself learning right along with her characters Stevie, Carole, and Lisa. She claims that they are all much better riders than she is. Ms Bryant was born and raised in New York City. She still lives there, in Greenwich Village, with her two sons.
