A riding team from Italy is coming to Pine Hollow, and Stevie volunteers to entertain them during their visit. It's a job that stuck up Veronica di Angelo wanted for herself, and now Veronica is determined that Stevie will pay! Suddenly, with the big weekend approaching, Stevie finds out that someone has 'volunteered' her to organise the annual school fair, to run the Children's Hospital Festival, AND to debate for election as class president. They all take place on the same day - just when her Bar-None Ranch friends Kate and Christine and the Italian riding team are due to visit! Can one person do four things at once? With the help of her Saddle Club friends and a lot of imagination, Stevie's determined to try. The result will be the greatest event ever . . . or the biggest disaster of all time! Stevie is excited about a great new sport - polo-crosse. When she learns that the Horse Wise Pony Club will be playing against her boyfriend's team, she's thrilled. Now she'll finally have a chance to show him what a good rider she is! Her best friends, Carole and Lisa, are enthusiastic about anything that has to do with horses, but they don't share Stevie's fierce desire to win. Carole would rather spend time with her new friend Marie, who was injured in an accident. Marie needs help and Carole knows that horses are the answer. If she can interest Marie in riding again, she'll be on the road to recovery. When Stevie sprains her ankle, her determination is as strong as ever. Carole and Lisa thought she was a terror as a player, but they can't believe what she's like as a coach! Her competitive spirit is starting to threaten their friendship. What will it take to get The Saddle Club team spirit back again?
