Free Rein: The Steeplechase Secret

Product Information

The yard has been decorated with red and pink ribbons as well as matching coloured paper hearts and roses strung up around the yard. The cast is compelling – fashion-conscious Rosie is the series’s MVP, but Zoe and her new stable friends Becky and Jade are so watchable I want to be in their gang. Pulling on a jacket and a pair of gumboots she stepped off the front porch, running to the back of the house. 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.

First, I was about to give 3 stars for the book, but then things got better after page 60 of the book. Zoe’s mum won’t let Zoe ride because of secret reasons of the past, but because pony culture lore dictates there must be an equine best friend. 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. Many originally belonged to my mum and her sisters, which meant I spent my first eight years convinced that jodhpurs had to be three feet wide at the thigh and that jumping five-bar gates was par for the course when you had only been riding for two weeks on holiday with your outdoorsy cousin Geraldine. Once a light cotton rug had been placed on Dollar to keep her clean and dry, Hannah placed her in one of Jan’s smaller yards, taking off the head collar before closing the gate securely after her.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. The riders are introduced to this new event at Riding Club and told they will be partnered up to compete against each other.

Whilst it’s the middle of the year in these next Free Rein books, being in Winter may tie in nicely with those of you over in the Northern Hemisphere!

Brilliantly enough, the dippy pal Becky is actually played by Kerry Ingram, who played Shireen Baratheon in Thrones. The year prior they had set aside an afternoon a week for Jacqui to help Geordie keep on top of her schoolwork. They were to take turns in pairs; Jan pointed out that she didn’t want all three girls in her wash bay with a pony. Little things like that are just sloppy writing from an adult perspective, but kids won't be bothered in the slightest.Non-rider Zoe turns out to be Monty Roberts disguised as a teenage girl, and the ONLY PERSON in this professionally-run stables who can keep Raven calm. Zoe, Becky and Jade are determined to figure out what's going on, especially since their friend could be in danger. It was half past eight already and her mother had told her that rain was forecast for the afternoon – she needed to get moving!

Jacqui was amazed to find that as they rinsed off the shampoo, that the white socks that had previously had green and brown stains were now a really bright white. THE GAITPOST is a carefully curated collection of the best of the best from within the equestrian world. She patted Matty’s neck, thankful that the little pony hadn’t resisted a gallop across the freeway paddock.

Once this was achieved, the girls again switched positions with Geordie holding Dollar and Hannah getting the job of using a bucket of shampooed water and a sponge to go over Dollar’s body, mane and tail.

She unlocked the large gate into the first paddock, being sure to lock it after her in spite of there being no horses on the property. Anne finds her dream horse in a black gelding, and together they save people from fires, sinking sand, and all the usual stuff you do when you’re getting ready for the BHS Stage 1 exam. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . 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.
