The Lost Foal

Thoroughbred: Ashleigh #8

by Joanna Campbell (Creator), Chris Platt

Before Thoroughbred, Ashleigh Griffen lived at Edgardale, her family's farm in Kentucky. Nothing could be more perfect than life on the farm with her family, her favorite horses, and her best friend, Mona. Ashleigh loves helping with the horses--and dreaming of becoming a jockey some day... Ashleigh Griffen has a special place in her heart for Shadow, the filly she watched being born. So when Shadow disappears from Edgardale, Ashleigh is devastated. Shadow is only a couple of months old--how will she survive? Ashleigh's parents search for days, but eventually give up hope. Ashleigh can't bear knowing that Shadow is out there somewhere. Even when she gets the chance to work at Keeneland racetrack--a dream come true--all she can think of is the missing filly. Will she have to say good-bye to a horse she loves, or will she find Shadow before it's too late?

Shadow is missing this entire book which makes sense with the title. I honestly forgot that it was taking the entire book to find out what happened to her until it was over and we had our answer so I guess that’s a good thing? I think I would’ve had a good rating for this if I was of the desired audience so I give it a good rating now.
