Riding High
A fantastic series for young riders by Bernadette Kelly
Follow Annie Boyd on her adventures in this series written to inspire every horse lover!
Annie used to live in the city, be fashion conscious, and love going to the local shopping centre with her best friend Jade - until her father took a new job and her family moved to the quiet country town of Ridgeview.
Now Annie is a country girl, and even owns her very own horse - a very sweet and loving chestnut gelding named Bobby. Along with her new found friends, Annie, Bobby and Annie’s little Jack Russell, Jonesy - find themselves in adventures that Annie had only ever dreamed of!
This wonderful series is not only entertaining - but each book is full of useful information on horse care and riding. Learn with Annie as she graduates from total novice to a competent rider - competing in her first event, taking a job as a stable hand, and having lots of fun along the way!
Bernadette Kelly’s ‘Riding High’ series is a wonderful introduction into the world of riding and horse care. More than once while reading, we felt the urge to go and saddle up our horses - forget about work and go riding!
A real sense of horsemanship emerges as Kelly vibrantly describes the horses - from their endearing habits, to the struggles Annie must contend with in order to improve her riding. Every rider will relate to Annie’s first riding attempts, reading as we were with a knowing smile!
There are currently eight books in the series, each with a unique and entertaining plot filled with stories of horses and adventure! We thoroughly enjoyed reading about Annie’s escapades - and can’t wait for the next instalment!
