Who are the saddle club?

Answer 1

The Saddle Club is a Australian children's television series based on the books written by Bonnie Bryant. Like the book series, the scripted live action series follows the lives of three teen girls in training to compete in equestrian competitions while dealing with problems from their personal lives. The Saddle Club girls are horse crazy.

The series revolves around the experiences of Carole Hanson, Stevie Lake, and Lisa Atwood who form "The Saddle Club" after recognizing their equal affections for horse riding and the horses themselves. However, their friendship is detested by fellow rider Veronica DiAngelo, a spoiled brat, mean, stuck up snob, and the only daughter of a rich family.

Throughout the series, The Saddle Club comes into conflict with Veronica, Dressage training, and competitions, as well as their problems and trying to intervene in the troubles of friends and staff in the fictional Pine Hollow Stables. Through perseverance and friendship, The Saddle Club always comes through.

Carole Hanson Carole is a bright girl and natural rider, who almost gave it up when her mother died from cancer. This was compounded by the death of Cobalt, Veronica's old horse, who Carole adored. Her father, Colonel Mitch Hanson, urged her to continue. Somewhat forgetful and occasionally a know-it-all when it comes to horses, she has planned her future to be with horses, though has not decided what it will finally be. She purchased Starlight, a buckskin gelding, with money left to her by her mother, and she helps with the raising and training of Samson, a foal sired by Cobalt and mothered by a Palomino named Delilah. Carole will never forgive Veronica for killing Cobalt. In "Jumping To Conclusions" we learn that Carole wishes she had an older brother that could share his clothes with her. Whatever Carole's future holds her most immediate goal is to be the very best rider she can. Carole used to exercise race horses for Mr. McLeoud until she, Stevie, and Lisa rescued Prancer. Carole was either fired or quit excerciseing race horses for David McLeoud. Carole gets jealous whenever she sees other kids with their moms and Mother-Daughter stuff is to painful for her now that Karen's gone. According to Carole Ashley's a total news hound. Even though Cobalt wasn't Carole's horse it felt like he belonged to her in addition to Starlight. Carole loved Cobalt so much. Before Mrs. Hanson died she gave Carole the Clam Juice she was saving in the fridge by accident when Carole had a Lemonaid Stand and all of the neighbors complained about fishy Lemonaid. After Cobalt died Carole gave Veronica a picture of Cobalt that she took at Pine Hollow's Open House the year before he died. When Carole was 5 she promised her mom that she'd be a Vet. Ever since Cobalt's death Carole has hated Veronica even more, but had one moment of comforting her. Carole's final words to Cobalt where, "Easy boy." and "I love you.". Carole's spent her whole life moving around. She's lived in five different houses and been to eight different schools. Carole feels like she's never really had a home until she came to Pine Hollow. When Carole meet Andrea at first she was jealous, but then she changed her attitude about Andrea and became friends with her. Carole's an army brat. Carole's favorite color is Purple.

Stevie Lake Stevie dropped her given name, Stephanie, almost before she could talk and has always been a bit tomboyish. Now being uncomfortable with the activities other girls of her age do, but at the same time getting tired of being "one of the boys," one thing remains: her love of horses. Stevie's parents, George and Catherine, are lawyers who pay for one riding lesson a week, but Stevie must work at the stables to earn more lessons. She has an older brother named Chad, a twin brother named Alex, and a little brother named Michael. She is impulsive, stubborn, a joker, and often gets into trouble outside of the show ring. On The Mountain Trail Overnight she meets Phil Marsten, who develops a crush on her; they begin dating later on in the series and is the only one of The Saddle Club to have a true boyfriend. In Season 1 Stevie pretends not to care about Phil but she gets very jealous if any other girl shows interest. And Phil can't work out what Stevie wants. It is a tumultuous friendship and a budding romance, but not without its hassles. Stevie learned to ride on Pepper, but she rides Comanche, a bay gelding, until she rescues Belle, a black Arabian/Saddlebred mare after she found Belle during the Western Riding Weekend. Stevie is allowed to keep Belle after her first owner, Chelsea Owens, realizes that they belong together and she does the right thing and allows Belle to be Stevie's horse. Stevie's 'act now, think later' approach to life gets her into trouble, but when she enters the show ring she becomes another person. In "Stevie's Bad Day" Stevie fell off Belle, ended up with a mild Concussion, and got a small bump on the back of her head due to not wearing her helmet. Stevie has also fallen off Comanche. Stevie will never forgive Veronica for trying to hurt her and Comanche after Veronica put her pager under Comanche's saddle, and for tearing off part of a note that Phil wrote her to tell her how he really felt about Stevie in "Bridle Path Part 2". Stevie has never forgiven Veronica for pushing her into the water on the Mountain Trail Overnight. According to Stevie Ashley's just nosey. Stevie's final words to Cobalt where, "We're never going to forget you Cobalt.". In "Found Horse Part 1" we learn that Stevie tried to free the school gold fish. Stevie's favorite color is Blue.

Lisa Atwood Lisa is an excellent student, but struggles to overcome her 'good girl' image. So she's always eager to take on new challenges to prove her strength and stamina. When she started riding, she didn't think she would like it very much. Since her mother makes her do everythnig a young lady must do, she figured it was just another one of those things. Lisa is completely loyal to her friends, but has a bit of a wandering eye when it comes to boys. She has a series of little crushes, but she doesn't often act on them. Her first horse was Patch, the well-trained school horse, but she quickly graduates to Prancer, an ex-race horse that Lisa is determined to make into a champion show jumper but the blue ribbon remains elusive. Carole and Stevie didn't appear to like her until she saves Stevie's life from a nasty and deadly prank Veronica pulled. Lisa is a perfectionist, encouraged by her mother, Eleanor, urging for her and Melanie to be best at everything. Lisa's confidence with boys was boosted when actor Skye Ransom took an interest in her during a filming session; her first kiss was with him. Lisa also takes ballet, clarinet, piano, art and tennis classes, but she often wishes she has less to do. Lisa got bitten by a poisonous snake in "School Horse". She almost went to boarding school at Wentworth Academy in "Herdbound" when her grades slipped due to focusing on riding instead of school, and Lisa finally learns to stand up for herself and confront her mother. In "Over The Bit" Red's run-away cousin Liam saved her life when Lisa came down with Appendicitis due to stress from school, homework, ballet, clarinet lessons, riding lessons, and baby-sitting. In "Bridle Path Part 1 " Lisa was thrown off Prancer when trying to win the Oakridge Horse Show as a wedding present for Max and Deborah, and she ended up in the hospital with a Coma and a bad Concussion, due to Veronica's egging her on. In "Bridle Path Part 2" Stevie and Carole bring Prancer to the hospital window in effort to wake comatose Lisa up. Their attempt was a success. In "Foster Horse Part 3" Lisa gets knocked into a small state of Unconsciousness after she trips over a log and falls while she and Storm are going for a walk. Lisa has also fallen off Patch on a trail ride because the girth was too loose. In "Star Quality" we learn that Lisa is jealous of Melanie and thinks that her little sister is perfect. Lisa makes a great milk shake. In "First Refusal" we learn that Lisa wishes she was an only child and that Lisa made it pretty clear that there was no room for Veronica in her house or in her friendship with The Saddle Club. Lisa will never forgive Veronica for reading her Diary. In "Blood Lines" we learn that Lisa used to wet her pants and Lisa hurt Melanie's feelings by saying, "You are so awful." In "School Horse" Lisa quit biteing her nails after she became addicted to Jelly Beans. Lisa thinks that her mom enjoys tourtering her. According to Lisa her mom's great. According to Lisa when Carole's riding Starlight it's like there's no one else on the planet except them. Lisa's final words to Cobalt where, "You're the most beautiful horse in the world.". Sometimes Lisa wishes she and Melanie wheren't related. Lisa doesn't know what Melanie sees in Veronica. Lisa's favorite colors are Red and Orange.

Veronica DiAngelo is the spoiled daughter of wealthy businessman, Frank diAngelo, and his wife, Helen diAngelo. Veronica is a big-headed, pompous individual who thinks she is better than everyone else. She is often rude, insulting, mean, and boy-crazy. She likes riding expensive thoroughbreds, but has little interest in caring for them. In the first series, Veronica causes her horse, Cobalt, to have a fatal accident; Veronica took a difficult jump far too fast, and Cobalt's mistimed landing caused him to fracture his sesamoid and pastern, therefore he was put to sleep. Veronica's parents buy her a new horse, Garnet. At first, she doesn't like Garnet but gradually starts to like her after Kristi said that she might buy her off of Veronica. She attends school with The Saddle Club, but was happier at an elite girls' school she attended before her parents bought the estate at Pine Hollow. Veronica becomes interested in Phil Marsten because his family owns land and breeds Arabian horses. When her father's finances suffer, she winds up working at the stables to cover her horse's board and her lessons. For a while Veronica seems to find Scooter annoying, but gradually grows to like him. Veronica has never forgiven The Saddle Club for putting her in danger and for switching Garnet with Mrs. Marsten's horse, Nomad, to teach her a lesson of horse care in "Flying Change". Ever since The Saddle Club switched Garnet with Nomad, Veronica's hated them even more. Veronica fell off Cobalt twice; she got a mild Concussion and sprained her ankle in "Trail Ride Part 2" and fell off of Cobalt in "Trail Ride Part 1" and she sprained her arm in "Greener Pastures Part 1". In "Greener Pastures Part 1" after Cobalt's accident she was worried about Cobalt and wanted to stay with him instead of getting her arm X-Rayed after she took a jump on Cobalt at a gallop after Max told her not to. She also fell of Garnet in "Show Ponies Part 1" and landed in the mud. In "Found Horse Part 1" Veronica got Poison Ivy when she followed Stevie when she went to look for Belle who she thought was The Phantom Horse. Veronica has never forgiven Lisa for all of the mean things that she wrote about her in her diary, Max for suspending her from Pine Hollow until further notice after she gave Prancer extra oats to boost her energy when she was poisoned for eating Oleander and for putting Lisa on Prancer in "Jumping to Conclusions," Lisa for telling Carole about her plan to hurt Stevie and Comanche, Phil for choosing Stevie over her, and Drew for threatening to kick her out of Pine Hollow when she was acting like the bossy, spoilt brat after her dad invested money into Pine Hollow to help save the riding school from being sold. Veronica saved Pine Hollow from being sold in "Finishing Strongly". Veronica has never forgiven The Saddle Club for always leaving her out. Deep down Veronica is jealous of The Saddle Club's friendship and she's lonely because her parents never spend any time with her and Veronica would love to be a member of The Saddle Club, but she'd never admit it. In "Greener Pastures Part 2" Veronica admitted that Carole was right. Veronica also admitted that if it wasn't for her Cobalt would still be alive. In "Bridle Path Part 1" Veronica caused Lisa to fall off of Prancer and end up in a coma when she egged Lisa on to take a jump that was too hard for her. In "Jumping To Conclusions" we learn that Veronica's the more experienced rider at Pine Hollow, that she's been riding longer, and that she has a bookshelf full of trophies and a whole wall covered in ribbons and she writes songs and poems. Veronica thinks that she's a better rider than Lisa when in reality The Saddle Club are better riders than Veroncia. Veronica hates Belle because she reminds her of Cobalt. Veronica doesn't like it when people touch her stuff. Veronica's a bossy know-it-all and thinks she knows everything about everything.[citation needed] Like Kristi Veronica became friends with Ashley and Melanie. Veronica had a crush on Red's best friend Jake until she meet Scooter in Season 2. Veronica's favorite color is Green.

Kristi Cavanaugh is Veronica's closest ally. Kristi is Veronica's best friend. Kristi is known as the stable flirt, more interesting in catching boys' attention with expensive riding clothes than in learning to ride. She first arrives in Pine Hollow as a guest of Veronica, but signs up quickly after seeing some of the cute stablehands and riders. She does not have the same dislike for The Saddle Club as Veronica, but does not bond with them either. She also has a crush on Red, Pine Hollow's stablehand. In "Bloodlines," thanks to The Saddle Club, Kristi learns that Chelsea Smith is her big sister. Kristi has never forgiven Veronica for almost making Red quit Pine Hollow again in "High Stakes Part 1" and in "High Stakes Part 2". Kristi has never forgiven Stevie for saying that it was her fault that Pepper got to old in "The Home Straight". Kristi would love to be a member of The Saddle Club, but she's pulled back by Veronica. The color red makes Kristi look fat. Sometimes Kristi will wear a pendent of a broken heart that Mr. Cavanaugh gave Kristi for her 8th birthday. According Kristi Melanie can be a bit scary sometimes. Like Veronica Krisit became friends with Ashley and Melanie. In "Track Record" we learn that Kristi's been reading Tarot Cards forever. Kristi's on Thouragly Horse's file to be a model. Kristi thinks that Melanie's a pain. Kristi's favorite color is Black.

Red O'Malley is the head stable hand at Pine Hollow. Seventeen years old and good-looking, he is well regarded by the girls for his skills with the horses, both riding and in the stable. The Saddle Club helped Red deal with his past, which has allowed him to ride again. Veronica treats him poorly, but Kristi tends to follow him around. Red has never forgiven Veronica for treating him like crud. In Season 2 Red got his instructor credibility. Red quit riding before he came to Pine Hollow after Greenwood burned down due to a barn fire. Red's riding team was training for the nationals when he blew it in one of the trials. Red's trainer was mad and they got into a fight. It was Red's job to check and make sure that everything was O.K. for the night when the barn caught on fire. They didn't get all of the horses out in time and the horses where so badly burnt that they had to put two of them down, and one was Red's horse Joker. According to Red Joker was the most incrediable horse, that they had a special bond, and that Joker would have done anything for Red. In "Trail Ride Part 1" we learn that Red plays the guitar in a band.

Jake is Red's best friend and fellow band member. In "Jumping To Conclusions" Jake worked part-time as a stable hand at Pine Hollow until "Track Record" when Jake quit after he started a barn fire when he didn't bring in the hay before it rained. Jake wasn't much help to Red. Whenever Jake tried to fix something he'd break it. Jake was always goofing off or listening to music, and Red was really mad at Jake when he was playing his guitar for Kristi and Veronica instead of bringin the hay in. After the barn fire was put out Jake lied and said that he did bring in the hay, but in the end Jake told the truth. Jake has a crush on Deborah.

Jack O'Neil is one of the stable hands at Pine Hollow. We meet him in Season 3.

Phil Marsten is Stevie's boyfriend and a member of Pine Hollow's rival pony club Cross County Pony Club but he signs up for Saturday lessons at Pine Hollow in "Trail Ride Part 2". Intensely competitive with Stevie, the two often try to outdo one another. It is obvious that the two are attracted to one another, but they argue so much they cannot see it themselves. They finally get together in "Bridle Path Part 2". He usually rides his horse Teddy western-style, but also rides him English in season 2. Phil has sisters. In "Join Up" Phil started to take Hip-Hop dancing lessons. In "Finishing Strongly" we learn that Phil collects stamps. Phil will never forgive Kristi and Veronica for accusing him of poisioning Starlight, Belle, Prancer, Garnet, and Comanche in "Race Against Time". In "Jumping To Conclusions" Phil asked Jake for advice on how to get Stevie to like him, but Jake's advice didn't work until Phil figured out that Oleander was making Prancer sick, and Stevie thanked Phil and gave him a hug. Phil's rich, but he's not a snob.

Brian "Scooter" Mulcahy is a friend of basically everyone at Pine Hollow who works at the diner, JB's, where the riders often go to after a riding lesson. He often helps out at Pine Hollow in his spare time. The girls often go to him for advice. He seems to have a crush on Veronica, and is determined to find good in her. It appears that at the end of the second season, he and Veronica are having a romance. Scooter is The Saddle Club's manager since they formed a band. Scooter is from Ireland. In the last episode we find out that his father owns half of Dublin, and he lives in one of his three castles. Like Mrs. Reg, Scooter gives good advice. Everybody at Pine Hollow likes Scooter because of his happy-go-lucky nature. He loves a laugh and is very good company, and will stop you working at the drop of a hat. He is employed around Pine Hollow to install a computer system and as a general 'gofer'. Scooter loves computers because he reckons they can do your thinking for you while you get on with other schemes. The Irish stable-hand has big dreams of writing a program which will open the door to wealth, fast cars and wall-to-wall computer games. In the meantime, he wants to be the manager of the Saddle Club singers. Lisa, Stevie and Carole will do the hard work while he does the hard bargaining. That way everybody wins - especially him. He is always looking for some hot deal to make and he pretends to be an expert in fields he knows nothing about. And he uses words like 'entrepreneur', 'marketing strategies' and 'entertainment industry' when he is trying to set up a deal for the girls singing career, and it is really just talk. But he is a nice guy and would never betray his friends. Scooter's rich and his dad owns half of Dublin. Unlike Krisit and Veronica Scooter's not a snob.

Dorothée Doutey is a seventeen year-old Junior Champion from France, but at first she comes across as cold because her mind is clouded with doubt about her own riding abilities.

Even the judges of the event felt she pushed her horse, Hugo, far too hard, and that caused the accident. Her parents sent Dorothèe to Pine Hollow with Hugo, hoping to help bring her out of her psychological shell. Dorothèe limps when she walks, and it is very hard to get to know her due to her doubt and shattered self-confidence, but she is not as bad as she seems.
