great book!:
i thought it was a great book! it makes sence that lyssa won the dressage test since elegance and beauty counts but the dressage judges don't not let you with just because your horse isn't pretty. (i know cause i ride dressage) as the saying. hadsome is as handsome does. overal a goog book

OK:
This book was okay, I guess. I can understand where Parker was coming from but I think he kinda acted like a jerk. Also, why does Parker get books written with him as the main character. Mike and Tor never did! I love Parker, but I didn't like this book that much. Number 1, it was about eventing again and Number 2, it was mainly about how Parker was acting like a major snob like his parents when we know he's not!!!!!!!!!

An awsome,funny and fantastic book!!!!!:
This book was awsome! My mom and I read these books together all the time. It is a good book for all ages because it is easy to understand and there are not many hard words. These books inspire me to try new things when I am riding my horse. This book is about two teenagers who are in love, and they are big horseback riders. Cristina races horses and Parker does cross-country. When Parker was at an event with his horse Foxglove, he met a strang girl named Lyssa. She was riding a big gray horse, and she just went over a 3'6" oxer, a huge double jump. She was nice to Parker but when everybody at his farm started using her weird methods, he became very cross with her. Will Parker ever be friends with Lyssa? I think the author wants you to learn that everybody is different and that just because you have a different way of riding your horse that does not mean you can't be friends. I think the kind of reader that would enjoy this book is someone that love horses and enjoys reading about horses. I think this is a very good book to choose to read, because it is full of life, funny and never boring. Cristana is the girlfriend of Parker, and owner of Star (her horse.) and daughter of the famous jockey Ashley. Parker, is the boyfriend of Cristana, a great cross-country rider, owner of Foxglove (his horse.) Lyssa is an awsome cross-country rider, and owner of Blue (her horse.) This author has written all of the books in the seires, and trust me, there are a lot of books. I think that this book is different from other books because it is written in all the character's perspectives which shows everyone's point of veiw. It is not only a horse book it is also about the lives of teenagers and the problems they go threw. This author is very creative especially her great opening lines!!!!
