HORSE SENSE is the third book in THE SADDLE CLUB series, and it seems that although Stevie, Carole, and Lisa all love being in the club, they're having trouble finding time for each other. Carole is monitoring the pregnancy of one of the mares at Pine Hollow, Stevie is in charge of coming up with gymkhana events, and Lisa decides to make official rules for the club, and possibly even add a new member.

Lisa meets Estelle and thinks she'd be a great addition to the club, but Stevie and Carole are too busy with their individual projects and they keep forgetting the meetings that Lisa has scheduled. Lisa invites Estelle into the club without consulting her friends, and they don't seem too happy. It finally takes the birth of a foal to bring the three girls back together and restore the Saddle Club.

I've been a fan of THE SADDLE CLUB series for a very long time, and while HORSE SENSE isn't one of my favorites, I'm sure it will still appeal to horse-loving girls everywhere.

One of my personal favourites. The book really brings out each girl's personality, and it's early enough in the series that Bonnie Bryant still incorporates surprisingly witty humour. Please be aware that there is one ISBN for all the printings of the 1989 American paperback.

horse sense and common sense are two different things

Stevie, Carole, & Lisa are the best of firneds & charter members of The Saddle Club, bonded together by their love of horses. But now The Saddle Club is in trouble! Stevie has been picked by Max, the owner of Pine Hollow Stables, to plan some games for its upcoming horse show. And Carole is busy helping the vet care for Delilah, the mare who is soon to give birth to a foal sired by Cobalt, Carole's beloved stallion. Neither of them seems to have time for Lisa, who's been drawing up an elaborate constitution for the club, including rules for meeting attendance. Lisa is getting tired of being the only 1 at club meetings! Unless the threesome decides to stick together, there won't be any Saddle Club & no fun at Pine Hollow Stables. And isn't that what The Saddle Club is all about?
