Before They Rode Horses
Before They Rode Horses is a part of the Saddle Club® collection.
Max's wife, Deborah, is about to have her baby, and the Saddle Club girls are keeping her company before she goes to the hospital. Stevie, Carole, and Lisa all recount—in their own words—what their lives were like before horses, and how they've never been the same since. When the last tale has wound down, Deborah realizes that the baby is about to arrive.
An Excerpt fromBefore They Rode Horses
"That's it, then," said Deborah "I don't want you to beat me at Scrabble with horse words. I don't want you to read to me from your horse books. I want each of you to tell me a real-life story that really happened to you."
"Great," said Stevie. "There was the time Belle and I--"
"No. I want to hear stories that don't have anything to do with horses."
"What for?" Carole asked.
