Ponysitters Club (2017–2018)
5/10
Cute, but unoriginal and little educational value
26 August 2018
A good show for kids new to horses and equestrian sports and practices, but for kids who already have experience they will likely notice very obvious errors in the show (incorrect terms, docile horses referred to as crazy, bad handling techniques, 'neglected' horse has been clipped and had its mane trimmed).

It follows the same old 'daughter has a special bond with at-risk horse(s) and her parents and everyone around her (minus one character, who's always a sassy, rich girl) think she's the real deal, meanwhile the facility is at risk of closing' story.

The child actors are pretty bad: quirky but over the top. The best actor is the main characters best friend, as she's fun and engaging, everyone else comes off very flat, scripted and awkward.

The series does have a lot of music and funny (for kids) moments, so kids will likely find it entertaining.
