Yes, especially to Janelle who plays Ashley
the reason the saddle club cast changed was because the actor of Melanie Atwood (Jessica Jacobs) tripped and fell onto the train tracks just when a train was coming so she died instantly. I'm so, so sorry for the friends and family of Jessica Jacobs. RIP Jessie. i miss the old saddle club they should of just replaced Melanie but i guess everyone was to sad to carry on, so they got a new cast.
A) Jessie Jacobs, who played Melanie, died, and they had to find someone else to play Melanie B) The cast of the old series had become too old to play teen parts, they were already in college.
