Episode 189: Horse Crazy (Saddle Club #1)

Horse Crazy (Saddle Club #1)

SSR is way overdue for a Saddle Club moment — but on Episode 189, it finally happens! Alli and her guests discuss the first book in Bonnie Bryant’s iconic horse girls series, Horse Crazy. They cover everything from their own personal horse girl experiences and middle school drama to Stevie Lake’s questionable business practices and the portrayal of POC in the book. Saddle up, because this episode is a very fun hang!

Hannah and Laura are the co-hosts of the On Wednesdays We Read podcast, which is fondly known as OWWR Pod. Tune in wherever you listen to your favorite pods and follow the show on Instagram (@owwrpod) and Twitter (@Owwrpod).
