Andi Saddles Up is Book 1 in the Circle C Stepping Stones Series

Book 2 is Andi Under the Big Top – which tells this story:

The summer after Andi Carter turns nine the circus comes to town. She can’t wait to get in line to see the elephants, acrobats, and–most of all–the champion bareback rider. What could be more thrilling than riding your very own horse under the big top?

When the Carters see the show, Andi meets Henry Jackson, a small boy selling concessions. Andi thinks his job must be perfect, hanging out with happy clowns, exotic animals, and excited visitors. But it’s not all fun and games. Henry shares a secret with Andi: he ran away from home to join the circus–and now he’s trapped. Andi wants to help him get free. But helping him may mean losing something very special to her.
