The Horses of Saddlers Ranch: Cloud Won the 2nd place Award
It brings me great pleasure to share that The Horses
of Saddlers Ranch: Cloud was recently awarded 2nd Place in the 2026 Bookshelf Writing Contest.
This is for the YA/Coming-of-Age category.
“Alison Bellringer’s The Horses of Saddlers Ranch: Cloud is a wholesome equestrian story about friendship, responsibility and learning to understand an animal’s behaviour rather than judging it too quickly. We enjoyed the distinct personalities of Coral, Lexie, and Tilly, whose humour and loyalty make their ranch holiday engaging. Cloud’s arrival introduces both excitement and conflict, while the girls’ mistakes teach valuable lessons about patience, safety and respecting the experience of responsible adults. The ranch setting and detailed knowledge of horse care will particularly appeal to young readers who love animals… Warm, accessible, and filled with affection for horses, The Horses of Saddlers Ranch: Cloud is an enjoyable beginning to a promising series. We are pleased to recognize it as the Second-Place YA/Coming-of-Age Winner in the BooksShelf Writing Contest” – The BooksShelf Editorial Team
