"Saddle Up Again"

Toby was bucking rearing and going completely mental - Leanne had just tried to tack her up and he didn't like it one bit.

"I really thought he would be ok this time and I was really looking forward to the new forest enthusiast.  I'll have to ride Lucky" Leanne said sadly.

The next day she phoned up Olivia and asked if she could take Lucky to the new forest enthusiast. Olivia said yes because she wasn't going.  So the next day Olivia brought Lucky round to Leanne's house but she couldn't stay because she was going on holiday.  Lucky was going like a dream, her school was small but he slowed down nicely for the corners. She was just about to finish when she thought one more canter won't hurt, so she squeezed him on and it was then he caught sight of a shadow.  First he spooked then he reared and then he just went mental Leanne fell of and Lucky trampled on her.  Toby saw and burst out of his stable and went over to Leanne. Later on Kate, Olivia's sister, came round to collect Lucky and Leanne told her what happened. The new forest enthusiast was only three days a way and she really wanted to go so she rode Toby again and he was brilliant he was so good so she decided to take him to the show. She saw his old owner and she said he had a very bad experience with his pervious owner when she rode him and when he didn't do as he was told she beat him.  She entered 15 classes and won them all!
