Apley Towers: Books 4-6

In the shade of the Giant's Throne Mountain, and on the coast of the Indian Ocean, Port St.

Christopher is home to Apley Towers; a riding school for girls and boys, young or old, who learn what it means to be a true horse rider.

Angela has got herself a secret admirer all thanks to Kaela playing the stable cupid.

But for both girls, this has disastrous consequences: Kaela has become too wrapped up in the excitement to see the stressful decisions her friend is facing.

Will Kaela's meddling pay off in the end? It's time for Angela to stop trying to please others and start thinking about herself.

As the series continues, love is in the air at Apley Towers, and the kodas each have to confront their feelings.

Trixie thought she wanted Russell to leave her alone, so why is she so upset when he finally does?

Meanwhile, after his recent romantic gesture to Kaela, Bart seems to have vanished off the face of the earth, and Angela is brought face to face with her idol thanks to a magazine interview.

What do you do when reality fails to live up to expectation?

With each other's support the kodas can work it out!

In the third novel, Angela is forced to face up to her former bully, Gemma Larkin, when she finds out that she's set to compete against Sagittarius Stables in an upcoming competition.

But how can Angela prove herself to anyone else, if she can't even convince herself?

Luckily, the kodas are there to help her deal with a past she thought she'd left behind. Apley Towers is a six-book horse and pony series set in South Africa.
