Product Description
In Chasing Blue, Sasha and her horse, Charm, have proven that they’re worthy competitors for the elite Canterwood Crest equestrian team. Things are definitely looking up . . . until Sasha finds out who her riding partner for the semester is: her archnemesis, Queen Bee Heather. Not. Good. And when Heather starts spending a little too much QT with Sasha’s almost-boyfriend, Jacob, the partnership is put to the ultimate test. The tension builds in Behind the Bit when Sasha and her team are accepted to a prestigious horse clinic. Can Sasha and Callie work together when it counts?

Sasha's finally fitting in at Canterwood Crest. She wouldn't want to be anywhere else, especially since things are starting to heat up between her and Jacob. But could there be trouble in paradise?
Heather's noticed Sasha's crush and she's doing everything possible to put doubts in Sasha's head. Sasha's trying to juggle her feelings for Jacob on top of dealing with Heather, a major horse competition, school work, and helping Paige reach her dream of becoming a TV chef. There's only so much a girl can do. Plus, the riding team starts working out in pairs; Sasha and Heather are assigned as one team. Could things get any worse? Will Sasha be focused enough on her riding skills to seriously compete in this competition, or will her A-game be thrown off by all the personal drama? CHASING BLUE continues Sasha's tale, adding boys to the mix of horses, roommates, serious work, and friendship drama. You can't help but love and root for Sasha Silver. Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel

Even better than Take the Reins!!,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chasing Blue (Paperback)
I read Chasing Blue in a couple of hours. I couldn't stop reading! There is MAJOR drama from the first page and the entire pace of the book is super fast. There's a great balance of horse scenes and boy/girl stuff. I loved the addition of new characters and just loved this book so much.
The ending...OMG. I need Behind the Bit right now, LOL. At least there was a chapter of Behind the Bit in the back of Chasing Blue. That was cool. Definitely better than The Saddle Club. And I've read all of those. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Chasing Blue - A Whitebrook Farm Blog Review,
By Mara E. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chasing Blue (Paperback)
I have really high hopes for this series, even more so now that I've read the second installment, because it has definitely delivered. Heather and Sasha are teammates at Canterwood Crest, but they're also social rivals. Mainly, they just don't get along. So when it's announced that Canterwood is going to compete in this regional show, and Heather and Sasha are forced to partner up for practice, they're forced to face honesty. This shouldn't be that big of a deal, but we're talking about a horse book here. Honesty in most horse books is horrible. So when the girls in the advanced team at Canterwood Crest are told to grade each other on a jumping exercise, and Heather is the one person who is brutally honest, and Sasha is forced to agree with her even about her own (not a perfect ten, I'll say that right now) riding...I didn't know what to do except blink at the page.
This portion of the book I loved, to be honest. Now let's talk about the boys. A big secondary plotline of this book is a Valentine's Day dance that inevitably becomes the scene for the book's climax. Sasha is still in pre-teen love with Jacob, but Jacob keeps hanging out with Heather for seemingly no reason, rocking Sasha's tween love life to the core. Then there's this other guy, Eric, who likes Sasha and is creating tension between Sasha and her friend, Callie, who also likes Eric. It is definitely a seventh grade soap opera. Granted, it's been a long time since I was twelve, so I can't begin to judge what is going on here, but know that things don't exactly come out in Sasha's favor by the end of the book. Chasing Blue ends by giving Sasha some things to fix in the next book. Relationships will be tested, friendships have to be mended, and basically I always respect any middle grade horse book that doesn't try to tack on a happy ending in the last chapter of an angst-filled drama fest. Chasing Blue refreshes the old nice girl vs. mean girl routine and gives you more to look forward to in the series. Wonderful horse book -- definitely not to be missed by any equine obsessed girl. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
