This book "Horse Shy" is by Bonnie Bryant. I recommend you read it especially if you like horses! It is about three friends named Stevie, Lisa, and Carole. They are horse crazy and become members of The Saddle Club and decide to learn as much as they can about horses. Carole's horse is palomino colored named Delilah. Lisa's horse is named Pepper. Stevie's horse is named Comanche. Veronica, another member of The Saddle Club bought a new expensive black Thoroughbred named Cobalt. Cobalt has a kind heart and Carole dreams of owning him. But when Veronica makes the mistake she regrets, Carole is done riding forever. Her only hope is Stevie and Lisa who want to help her change her mind. Can they?
