If I was still a young whippersnapper of girl, this
series would most certainly be in my reading collection.
Shamrock
Stable #1
No
Horse Wanted
The only
thing that Robin Gibson wants for her sixteenth birthday is a 1968 Presidential
Blue Mustang. Following their family tradition, what her parents promise her is
a horse of her own, one with four legs, not four wheels. Mom competes in
endurance riding, Dad does calf roping, her older brother games and her older
sister loves three-day eventing, but Robin proudly says that she doesn't do
horses. She'll teach her controlling family a lesson by bringing home the worst
horse she can find, a starved, abused two-year-old named Twaziem.
Robin
figures she'll nurse him back to health, sell him and have the money for her
car. Rescuing and rehabilitating the Morab gelding might be a bigger challenge
than what she planned. He comes between her and her family. He upsets her
friends when she looks after his needs first. Is he just an investment or is he
part of her future? And if she lets him into her heart will she win or will she
lose?
No Time
for Horses
Sixteen-year-old
Vicky Miller feels overloaded since her parents filed for divorce. Her mother
got the house and a new job. Her step-dad has the new car and a new girlfriend.
Vicky has the five kids, her younger half-brothers and sisters who range from
18 months to 10 years old to look after and her own life now comes second to
their needs and wants.
It's been
six months of house-cleaning, baby-sitting, cooking, non-stop laundry and Vicky
is through waiting for her life to improve. She has plans for her sophomore
year at Lincoln High and they don't include being an unpaid servant. If it
takes a constant battle to attend her riding classes and complete her
internship at Shamrock Stable, she's ready to fight for her goal to be the best
natural horse trainer around.
Her
parents may not have time for her to be with horses, but she has dreams no one
can steal. Why should she give them away? But will keeping them mean she loses
her family?

Stable #3
Nothing
But Horses
If the
going gets tough, wannabe cowboys exit stage left, according to Sierra McElroy.
Because
her family owns the local riding stable, her old life was nothing but horses.
Now, Sierra has a new car (new to her), a new puppy, a new school, a new coach,
and a new basketball team.
However,
she's brought her same old patterns into this new life. She still doesn't have
any patience for stupid people who are a waste of time, space and oxygen.
In order
to take over Shamrock Stable someday, does Sierra need to learn to tolerate
these people who make her crazy?

Horse Left Behind
Champion
show rider, Dani Wilkerson, loves her Quarter Horse mare, Lady, and wants to
ride Western or ‘cowgirl’ style with her friends at Shamrock Stable. However,
her glory-seeking parents have other plans for Dani that include three-day
eventing and an eventual career in Olympic competition. They think all her
riding activities should support this goal. While she wishes they understood
her need to express her individuality, she also hates to disappoint them.
Then she
discovers their plans to enroll her in an elite boarding school, sell Lady, and
buy her an award-winning, event horse. Stunned by the betrayal, Dani knows she
must stop them somehow. She isn’t a mere extension of their egos. When she
fights back, she learns just how far they will go to achieve their ends, but
how can she possibly defeat them?
