Boomerang

Judy,

Plot

When a severe drought almost ruins Don Howard’s cattle station at Batwarra, in Australia, he is forced to bring his daughter, Joan,back from college in Melbourne, to help with the station. Joan takes an immediate fancy to Boomerang, a half-broken stallion, which Joan’s father is determined to get rid of, because he is not interested in keeping a horse that cannot work for its living. When the cattle stampede, Joan rides out on Boomerang to help her father, but only succeeds in making matters worse. Boomerang throws her and scatters the herd as he runs away.

Riding School Rivals

Judy,

Plot:

Margie (or Mandy in the reprint) Hayman and Molly Lentham were joint partners in a riding school which they had opened at Hunter Green’s Stables, in the Cotswold village of Mountly. Their school had come into direct  competition with a nearby Riding Academy, a very grand establishment run by Miss Lila Williams who had been involved in several attempts to make the girls close down.
