This is the 6th book in a series featuring Samantha McLean and Ashleigh Griffen and their love of horses.  When Samantha finds out that her favorite horse, Wonder's Pride, is about to auctioned for sale, she asks her friend Ashleigh for help.  The girls team up but find out that they are in danger of losing Wonder's Pride and the whole farm, Townsend Acres.  The girls find out that Mr. Townsend son, Brad, who is in charge of running the farm has almost put it out of business.  Mr. Townsend is able to save Townsend Acres, and Pride with Samantha and Ashleigh's help.

I would recommend this book to girls and boys who like horses.  It is well written and has a lot of suspense.  I hope you read the book.

When Samantha McLean finds out that a beloved colt, Wonder's Pride, is going to be sold by the owner of Townsend Acres, the farm that Samantha lives on, she knows that her heart will break.  Samantha turns to Ashleigh, her friend and the owner of the colt's mother, for help.  Samantha knows that if she is going to stop Wonder's Pride from being sold, they will need to act quickly.  Samantha soon finds that it is not going to be easy to convince the owner not to sell the colt.  Townsend Acres is falling apart and the owners need money. It is up to Samantha and Ashleigh to stop them from selling Wonder's Pride.

I like this book because it is about horses.  I horseback ride and love   horses also.  This book has a lot of action and suspense, and I found that I never wanted to put it down.
