Here is a story from the new television series 'The Saddle Club' filmed entirely in Australia and based on the bestselling book series. Set at Pine Hollow stables, a state of the art riding facility, the series follows three girls on a journey of personal discovery and growth. In forming The Saddle Club, Stevie, Carole and Lisa promise to remain loyal to each other, to help each other through the good times and bad, and to stay horse crazy!
Zachary Simpson has only just started riding at Pine Hollows, but everyone is totally impressed by his natural talent. Everyone except Carole Hanson, that is. She's glad that he seems to love riding, but she's a little uncomfortable at how much attention he's getting from everyone else in Pony Club. Is Carole just jealous? And is Zach a mere flash in the pan, or is he the real thing? The upcoming Pony Club competition should give Zach a chance to show everyone what he's capable of and answer those questions.
But Zach falls apart, and the show is a disaster. Then he announces that he's going to quit riding. Suddenly it's up to Carole to remind Zach of all the things that make riding and horses so special. Can she convince him to get back in the saddle?
