Ever since they formed the Saddle Club, Stevie, Carole and Lisa have been inseparable. So they're all feeling a little sad at the thought of not being together over the Christmas holidays. But while Lisa is riding along the beautiful beaches of sunny San Marco, Stevie will be combing the shopping mall for the perfect New Year's Eve dress. And Carole will be training Starlight, the gorgeous bay gelding she was given for Christmas. But no one's holiday goes smoothly, especially Lisa's. On her first day at San Marco stables, she takes an embarrassing fall, just like a beginner! And that's not the worst of it: the volcanic terrain and tricky footing of the tiny island can be confusing for horses - and lethal for their riders. Just as Lisa's confidence in her riding plummets to an all-time low, a dangerous mishap will put all her riding skills to the ultimate test... and have her missing her Saddle Club friends like crazy!
