Stevie abandoned her given name of Stephanie almost before she could talk and was always a bit of a tomboy. Now, tired of being considered one of the boys, but uncomfortable with the preening of other girls her age, Stevie clings to the one thing that remains constant: her love of horses. When not dressed for the riding ring, Stevie has a funky, urban style of her own. She loves vintage clothing stores and often makes a bold, if sometimes outrageous, fashion statement. Her younger brother Michael, 9, is the ultimate pest and siezes any opportunity to aggravate and annoy his sister. Stevie's older brother, Chad, 14, does nothing to dissuade Michael from irritating Stevie. He is the one who started the family tradition of practical jokes. Even though Alex, 12, plays his share of jokes on Stevie, he is fiercely protective of his twin sister. Even though he likes to remind her he is older - by six and a half minutes. Stevie is impulsive, irrepressible and stubborn and once she devises a scheme there is no chance of talking her out of it. Her 'act now, think later' approach to life gets her into trouble but, when she enters the show ring, she becomes another person.Stevie's parents, George and Catherine, are both lawyers with hectic schedules. They both worked hard for everything they achieved and are determined to instill a solid work ethic in their children. They have agreed to pay for one riding lesson a week, but Stevie must work at the barn in exchange for additional lessons. Stevie is very comfortable around boys. That is until she meets Phil Marsten, who develops a huge crush on her. She doesn't respond because she is too busy trying to outride, outsmart and outdo Phil at everything he does.

hey todays saddle club show member is lisa !!!!!!!!! Lisa is an honour-roll student. Petite with classic good looks, Lisa dresses in designer clothes and would never wear anything as outrageous as Stevie, but she does admire her individuality. Lisa struggles to overcome the 'good girl' image and is eager to take on new challenges to prove her strength and stamina. Lisa starts out riding Patch, the perfectly trained 'push-button' school pony at Pine Hollow. Eventually she graduates to riding Prancer, the chestnut thoroughbred mare. Lisa is determined to make a show jumper out of the ex-racehorse, but the blue ribbon remains elusive. Completely loyal to her friends, Lisa has a wandering eye when it comes to boys. A natural flirt, she has a series of little crushes on a variety of guys but she doesn't often act on them. Like every other female at Pine Hollow, she can't tear her eyes away from the lead stable hand, Red O'Malley. She also likes Skye Ransom, the gorgeous teen star who films a movie at Pine Hollow. Lisa's mother, Eleanor, is a determined social climber and she sees the horse world as a way of her daughter being accepted into the 'right' circles. As well as the riding lessons, Lisa takes ballet, piano, art and tennis classes and she is envious of girls who can go home after school and just veg out. Lisa's younger sister, Melanie, who excels at everything she does, has now been enrolled at Pine Hollow. Melanie worships her older sister but, unfortunately for Lisa, this means she will always be underfoot.
