Saddle Club Bindup 5: Hoof Beat/Riding Camp

THE SADDLE CLUB GIRLS GALLOP INTO THE LIMELIGHT!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?A SUMMER VACATION TREATThe three members of the Saddle Club - Carole, Stevie and Lisa are delighted when they get a chance to go to Moose Hill, a sleep-over riding camp in the hills of Virginia. It promises to be two wonderful weeks of riding, meeting new horse-crazy friends, and competing in a genuine horse show. Best of all, the camp has plenty of stable hands to do the heavy chores. It's going to be a real vacation!When they arrive at Moose Hill, the girls are in for some surprises: their groom isn't doing his job, and their cabin mates are snobs who care more about winning the horse show than making friends. Even Stevie's new boyfriend is convinced that he's the best rider around. Then a sudden emergency at camp tests everyone's courage and results in some unexpected friendships - adding up to an end-of-summer adventure the girls will never forget!
