TV Review: Saddle Club

by Kjersti Wasiak

The Saddle Club is originally an Australian show, but is now shown in other countries including on the Discovery Kids Channel in the United States. The show is based on a series of books and to date has aired two series of shows. The show first aired in 2001 and last ended new episodes in 2004. It seemed like a dead show with only repeats playing, however, a third series is in production and set to start airing sometime in 2008. Not sure if the new series will start airing at that time on Discovery Kids or if they will wait a little before bringing it to the United States market, but considering The Saddle Club is supposedly the most popular repeated show on Discovery Kids and 60% of the website’s traffic comes for the U.S. I imagine it will happen around the same time as it starts airing in Australia.

This may not exactly be an educational show, but it is an enjoyable show for kids (probably mostly appeals to girls) around ages 8 to 12. The show is about kids that spend a lot of their time at the Pine Hollow Stables. The three main characters formed The Saddle Club based on their common love for horses and horse riding. The three main characters and many of the other regular characters are girls, thus the reason why this seems to be a more appealing show for kids. The show is not entirely devoid of boys, though, as there are later episodes with a boy (I think his name is Phil), but he does not seem to be considered a real main character, but more of a recurring character.

Overall this is an interesting show that shows the girls going through different adolescence issues as they come to form in relation to hanging out at the stables and competing in riding competitions. The show is mostly about their friendships and the highs and lows of life.
