In Take the Reigns, Sasha Silver and her horse, Charm, arrive on the campus of the elite Canterwood Crest Academy, and Sasha knows she’s in trouble. One group of girls in particular is used to being the best, the brightest, and the prettiest on the team, and when Sasha shows her skills in the arena, the girls’ claws come out. Sasha is determined to prove that she belongs at Canterwood. Will she rise to the occasion and make the advanced riding team? Or will the pressure send Sasha packing?

In Chasing Blue, Sasha and her horse, Charm, have proven that they’re worthy competitors for the elite Canterwood Crest equestrian team. But then Sasha finds her riding partner for the semester is: her archnemesis, Queen Bee Heather. Not. Good. And when Heather starts spending a little too much QT with Sasha’s almost-boyfriend, Jacob, the partnership is put to the ultimate test.

In Maddie’s Dream, Madison “Maddie” Martinez is shocked when she arrives at the barn for her weekly lesson only to discover that “her” pony, Cloudy, isn’t available that day. Will Cloudy’s former owners want the Chincoteague pony back? Will Maddie lose her best friend forever?

In Blue Ribbon Summer, Brooke Rhodes goes to sleepaway riding camp for two weeks with her pony, Foxy. The other campers aren’t the friendliest girls and Brooke feels left out. But when Brooke overhears the camp might be sold, she and her enemies join forces to save the summer.
