List of Thoroughbred novels
This article contains titles of books in the Thoroughbred series, a children's novel series created by Joanna Campbell, as well as a spin-off series and other related books. Other Special Titles. Cindy's Lost Diaries. While not Super Edition books, #47 "Cindy's Desert Adventure" and #48 "Cindy's Bold Start" are two "lost diary specials" published within the regular series in an attempt to explain the missing characters and continuity problems created by the ten-year gap which occurred between "Cindy's Honor" and the New Generation books. These books detail how Ashleigh  miscarried her second pregnancy, the fate of Wonder's Champion, and Cindy McLean's travels to the United Arab Emirates, New York City, and finally back to Whitebrook Farm. Samantha's Arc. Similar to the "lost diary specials", Samantha also had a two book special #65 "Bridal Dreams" and #66 "Samantha's Irish Luck" which were published within the regular series. These books are not distinguished with a separate title indicating their "special" status within the series, but are generally regarded as such and were included within the regular series also in attempts to explain Samantha's story during the  ten-year gap created by the New Generation books. The books detail Samantha's marriage to Tor and their subsequent relocation to Ireland, Samantha's shifting focus from horse racing to eventing and show jumping, and the birth of Samantha and Tor's children. The Ashleigh Series. The spin-off series, "Ashleigh", is 'supposedly' set in between "Ashleigh's Hope" and "Ashleigh's Diary". However, this spin-off presents some major inconsistencies. In #2 "Wonder's Promise" (original series), Ashleigh states she's never attended a live horse race before; however, in the "Ashleigh" series (and "Ashleigh's Diary", the  Super Edition), she attends several races. This leads to the other error/inconsistency. In #7 "Derby Day" ("Ashleigh" series), it is said that Rhoda Kat is the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Derby. However, in the original series, Jilly Gordon clearly is. When the plague hits Ashleigh's family, various horses who survive or are sold before the first book, die (Midnight Wanderer, for example, who is put to sleep in the book, 'Goodbye Midnight Wanderer', apparently dies of the mysterious plague, rather than from the accident.) There is also large changes as to how Ashleigh and Mona  get their horses. Ashleigh meets Stardust in "Ashleigh's Hope" and then owns (and must sell her) in "Ashleigh's Diary", but in the "Ashleigh" Series she gets Stardust in #3 "Waiting for Stardust" and Stardust is expecting a foal in #15 "Stardust's Foal" (which this in never mentioned in "Ashleigh's Hope" or "Ashleigh's Diary"). In "Ashleigh's Hope" Mona gets a Thoroughbred she names Frisky on Thanksgiving Day, rubs it in, won't let Ashleigh ride Frisky, and the girls have a big fight. But in the "Ashleigh" Series Mona gets a Thoroughbred for Christmas, names  her Frisky like she and Ashleigh had planned, says she is sorry and is not trying to rub it in as soon as she tells Ashleigh, and asks her to come over tomorrow to ride Frisky. The entire "Ashleigh" series is in a sort of "time bubble" and none of the events really line up with the events in the other Thoroughbred books, so it is almost a stand alone series in and of itself. The Ashleigh Collection. "Ashleigh's Thoroughbred Collection" contains three stand alone books that do not tie into/effect the storylines of the other series. "Battlecry  Forever!" is a slight exception though. It is about Battlecry (the sire of Fleet Goddess, a filly that Ashleigh Griffen purchases in #5 "Ashleigh's Dream" of the "Thoroughbred" series) but it is considered stand alone (due to not playing a major role in the storyline of "Thoroughbred"), even though it is also still "technically" considered the only book written outside of the "Thoroughbred" series that is canon.
