Lisa Atwood is an honour-roll student. Petite with classic good looks, Lisa dresses in designer clothes and would never wear anything as outrageous as Stevie, but she dose admire her individuality. Lisa struggles to overcome the 'Good Girl' image and eager to take on new challenges to prove her strength and stamina.

 Lisa starts out riding Patch, the perfectly trained 'push-button' school pony at pine Hollow. Eventually she graduates to riding Pracer, the chestnut thoroughbred mare. Lisa is determinded to make a show jumper out of the ex-racehorse, but the blue ribbon remains elusive.

Becuse her mother, Eleanor, lives her life though Lisa, she wants her daughter to be the best at everything. thus, Lisa is a classic over-achiever and perfectionist. she is always striving to be that little bit better then everybody else is  so although she is a loyal friend to Carole and Stevie, there is always that edge of rivary between them to keep things interesting. And this announces itself more in the second series, becuse Lisa'a equestrin skills have developed to where they rival, if not overtake, those of her compainons who have been riding longer. Lisa gets on well with Boys and her confidence was given an eztra boost when teenage heartthrob, Sky Ransom, took a special interest in Lisa while filming at pinehollow. she never guessed her first kiss would be with a movie star. Boys really respond to her, becuse she is such a good listener about any problem they might have. And the advice she gives is always spot-on.

Lisa's mother is a determind social climber and she sees the horse world as a way of her daughter being accepted into the 'right' circles. As well as the riding lessons. Lisa takes ballet, clarinet. art and tennis classes and she is envious of girls who can go home after school and just veg. out. Lisa's younger sister, Melanie. has now been enrolled at Pine Hollow and unfortunately for Lisa, this maens she will always be underfoot.

Lisa has grown from her initial insecure start at Pine Hollw to being an integral part of the place with close bonds with Stevie and Carole
