[3] The Saddle Club chronicles the adventures of thirteen-year-old Lisa Atwood and twelve-year-olds Stephanie "Stevie" Lake and Carole Hanson, who live and ride horses in the fictional town of Willow Creek, Virginia.
The series was static in time; the girls never aged in 101 books, 7 special editions, and 3 Inside Stories.
It is aimed at beginning readers and follows the lives of eight-year-olds May Grover, Corinne "Corey" Takamura, and Jasmine James, who also ride at Pine Hollow.
It is aimed at young adult readers and features Carole, Lisa, Stevie, and some new friends in a series set four years after the events of The Saddle Club.
In 2001, a television show called The Saddle Club, based on the books, was filmed in Australia.
Like many long-running children's book series, eventually The Saddle Club was taken over by a team of ghostwriters.
Ghostwriters for the Saddle Club and Pine Hollow books included Caitlin Macy (sometimes credited as Caitlin C. Macy), Catherine Hapka, Sallie Bissell, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, Helen Geraghty, Tina deVaron, Cat Johnston, Minna Jung, and Sheila Prescott-Vessey.
Bonnie Bryant is also the author of many novelizations of movies, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Karate Kid (and all of its sequels), Bingo, and Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, written under her married name, B.
Bryant collaborated in the ghostwriting of The Baby-sitters Club Super Special #14: BSC in the USA, published under the name of its creator, Ann M.
