Horse Mad Series

Totally Horse Mad
by Kathy Helidoniotis
ISBN: 9780732284206

Book DescriptionTotally Horse Mad

I had a great idea. Maybe I could buy Princess. Then she'd really be mine, not just a horse I rode once a week ... I made up my mind. If it was the last thing I did, I was going to get my very own horse.

The only things that stand between Ashleigh Miller and the horse of her dreams are a whole lot of dollars that she doesn't have, parents who don't know one end of a horse from another and a city backyard the size of a shoebox.

Ashleigh can't believe it when her parents announce that she will really have a horse of her own, but at a price she could never have imagined. She will have to say goodbye to her best friend, Jenna, South Beach Stables and her favourite horse, Princess. Ashleigh and her family are leaving the city and heading for Shady Creek, a small country town. And that's where the adventures in this Horse Mad series really begin.

Horse Mad Summer

ISBN: 9780732284213

Book DescriptionHorse Mad Summer

I wrapped my arms around Honey's neck and hugged her hard, feeling her warmth seep into my arms and breathing her sweet, horsy smell. 'Just wait,' I murmured, untacking her. 'We're going to have the best summer. The best summer ever!'

Ashleigh is itching for her Horse Mad holiday with Becky and Jenna to begin. Her two best friends will be meeting each other for the first time and she's sure all three of them will have the best summer together.

But when Jenna finally arrives from the city, Ashliegh feels like the ham in the sandwich. Torn between spending time with Jenna and helping her with her riding lessons and keeping an eye on the Creepketeers with Becky, Ashleigh's dream holiday isn't turning out as she'd hoped. The situation gets worse when Jenna confides in Ash and makes her promise not to tell anyone - not even Becky. With the secret threatening to tear them apart, can Ashleigh bring her two best friends together before the summer is over?

Horse Mad Academy

ISBN: 9780732284220

Book DescriptionHorse Mad Academy

Standards are high at the Waratah Grove Riding Academy. Can Ashleigh and her horse, Honey, make the grade?

I spun around slowly on the spot, taking everything in. I couldn't believe it. A year ago I was living in the city, riding once a week and dreaming that one day I would have a horse of my own. Now Honey and I were at Waratah Grove - one of the best riding academies in the country! The next four weeks are going to be like one long beautiful Horse Mad dream.

The Junior Cross-Country Riding Championships are over and Ashleigh Miller has arrived at Waratah Grove Riding Academy. It's a dream come true for any Horse Mad kid, but as Ashleigh discovers, things don't always turn out like you hope they will. With a gruelling riding schedule, training with the best junior riders in Australia, and a horse who just refuses to do dressage, Ash is shocked when she finally begins to unravel Honey's mysterious past. Does she have what it takes to help her horse heal her soul? And with tensions between the riders also running high, Ashleigh is beginning to think that life in Shady Creek with the Creepketeers is simple. Ash comes home from Waratah Grove Academy to find that the baby is due any day and best friend Becky's cast is off, which means riding together again at last!

Book DescriptionHorse Mad Heroes

The Miller household is thrown into chaos when the baby is born and Ash finds herself at the bottom of the pecking order for the first time in her life. And the baby is cute, but very noisy, and to top it all off he's a boy!

Ash finds solace in Shady Trails Riding Ranch. It's every horse-mad kid's fantasy and Ash lands her first real job there. But as Shady Trails grows, Shady Creek Riding Club starts to lose members, which is worrying for Becky whose father runs the club. She demands an ultimatum from Ash - it's Shady Trails or their friendship.

Just when Ash is convinced that she and Becky will never rekindle their friendship, Becky arrives with devastating news. Her sister Rachael has sold the beloved Appaloosa mare Cassata and used the money to buy an old car. The friends put aside their differences and determine to bring Cassata home - whatever the cost.
