Moorland Stables: The New Horse

Welcome to Moorland Stables! Ride along with a group of horse-loving girls through the ups and downs of tween life and everyday life at the stables! Layla, Nikki, Astrid, and Ivy, enjoy spending time at the rustic and charming stables. In the Moorland Stables stories, these four new friends bond with horses and each other, solve mysteries, and explore the island of Jorvik, while also dealing with modern life challenges faced by young tween girls. Each book in the series is a standalone with a focus on one main character.

Moorland Stables: The New Horse tells about twelve-year-old Layla who enjoys spending time at Moorlands Stables, even if she most of the time feels like an outsider and abandoned by her former best friend who prefers hanging out with new friends at the stables. 

One day a new horse, Galaxy arrives at the stables and Layla feels their special bond and realizes it’s her dream horse. When their eyes meet it’s as if they can talk to each other, no words needed. But even if Galaxy is perfect in Layla’s eyes, it seems something isn’t quite right with the horse. No one can ride Galaxy – neither teachers nor other riders. So when Layla hears about stable owners Thomas and Justin Moorland’s plans to sell the impossible horse, there’s only one thing to do – she has to devise a way to keep her soulmate Galaxy at Moorland stables!

Moorland Stables is a modern pony club series about the love of horses, friendship and charming stables for younger readers written by equestrian fiction author Catherine Hapka. It is inspired by Star Stable Online, the fastest-growing online horse game in the world and the bestselling Soul Riders trilogy.
