Pony Club Rivals Books in Order

These books move from local pony-club adventure into the bright, stressful world of elite riding-school life. The main character is Georgie Parker, who wants a place at Blainford All-Stars Academy more than anything. From the first pages of The Auditions, the series makes it clear that talent matters, but so do nerves, timing, confidence and the ability to keep going when everyone around you seems richer, cooler or more polished.

Everybody rides, and everybody is judging.

That is what gives the series its energy. Georgie is not just learning new skills on horseback, she is also trying to survive dorm life, shifting friendships and constant comparison with other riders. The biggest thorn in her side is Kennedy Kirkwood, a rival who knows exactly how to get under Georgie's skin, while characters like James and Riley make the social side of the story even more complicated.

Each book turns up the pressure in a slightly different way. Showjumpers leans into trust, alliances and second-term nerves. Riding Star shifts the action onto the polo pitch and asks whether early success can survive new tests. By The Prize, the school setting has opened into the professional world, with Georgie and Kennedy working as interns at an elite showjumping yard where a harsh boss and a glamorous atmosphere make every mistake feel public.

What makes Pony Club Rivals different from Pony Club Secrets is the tone. These books are shinier, sharper and more openly competitive. There is less mystery and more social tension. You still get plenty of horses, arenas, training sessions and technical riding detail, but the real suspense often comes from people: who is bluffing, who is loyal, who is using friendship as a tactic, and how much winning is worth.

Trust is as tricky as a technical course.

The series works best if you read it in order, because the rivalries and fragile friendships carry from one book to the next. If you like boarding-school stories, underdog heroines, glamorous equestrian settings and plenty of emotional static around every jump, these books fit nicely. They keep the horse-world appeal Stacy Gregg is known for, but add a more teen-drama edge without losing the fun of a good competition story.
