* AudienceAlienatingEnding: The final book in the Pine Hollow series ends with the eponymous stable burning down and the deaths of five horses. What's more, the subsequent ending of the book is rather abrupt, not even offering the typical level of resolution for a DownerEnding.

* JerkassHasAPoint: In an early episode, Veronica is treated like a brat for complaining when Max adds another rider to her private lesson. But while she didn't need to take it out on the other rider, she's not entirely wrong to think that if her parents paid a premium for a private lesson, she should get what they paid for. At the very least, Max should pay back/give them a future credit for the cost difference between a private and a semi-private lesson, and even then it's iffy for him to unilaterally make that change without asking.

* ValuesResonance: The George Wheeler arc in ''Pine Hollow'' is a realistic and nuanced portrayal of a [[StalkerWithACrush teen stalking situation]] that only gains more relevance with the increased awareness of stalking and teen dating violence that's emerged in the years since the series was published.

* DesignatedHero: The Saddle Club's actions in Season 3's "The Duchess and the Donkey" are extremely suspect. Stevie can't ride because of a broken arm so Lisa and Carole decide not to ride until she can out of solidarity. Veronica bets her new saddle that they can't stick to it; if they ride, she gets to be their leader. Lisa and Carole try to ride a visiting horse in secret and Veronica catches them out. Somehow, this is portrayed as Veronica being sneaky, and the Saddle Club making up a nasty initiation ritual to get her to decline to join is treated as a happy ending. But given that they'd likely have claimed her saddle if they hadn't been caught out, it's hard not to see Veronica as the one hard done by.

** And then there's a broken base regarding the TV series itself: the third season. You had fans complaining about the re-casting of all the major roles; you had fans complaining that the series wasn't a ''Pine Hollow'' adaptation carrying on with the original cast; and then, of course, there were the fans who were just happy to see the show on the air again.
