The Forbidden Stallion

Thoroughbred: Ashleigh #5

by Joanna Campbell (Creator), Chris Platt

Ashleigh is torn.

Ashleigh Griffen knows it's wrong, but she can't help it-she's jealous. Peter Danworth has everything: a huge Thoroughbred racing farm, money, and one of Ashleigh's favorite stallions, Aladdin.

Then Ashleigh gets amazing news. If the stallion loses his next race, the Danworths will retire him to stud at Edgardale!

Excited, Ashleigh sneaks a ride on Aladdin -- and she accidentally discovers how to run him to win. Will she keep quiet so the magnificent stallion can live on her parents' farm? Or will she give Peter, the boy who has everything, Aladdin's secret?

I liked this book. It was very different from the other books in the series so far. Some time spent at Edgardale and two separate trips to Florida. We get introduced to new characters and some new and interesting types of events. Ashleigh is still struggling with her math grade and I will admit I did miss reading about her riding Stardust. I’m itching to see her make some improvement on that front. But I also like all the racing progress the horses from her farm make and like rooting for their success as if I was really there. This was a fun addition to the series.
