What's the story?
WENDY is a 15-year-old girl who lives with her family at a riding school. She has a special relationship with horses and she and her friends compete in horse competitions. Her adventures include dealing with "mean girls" as well as exploring friendship, relationships, boys, and family issues.
Is it any good?
This typical teen drama will definitely appeal to kids who love horses and the outdoors. With lots of different characters, including mean girls who try to get attention from boys, and undermine one another, it's not always positive, but there are also characters who stand up for themselves and look out for others. Since Wendy takes place on a horse ranch, drama usually involves riding and horses on some level; but it's a relatively mild series that animal lovers should enjoy.
