Charlie and Charm (9 page)
Of course, I’ll never forget Apple, but thanks to Charm I’m ready to start riding some of the lovely ponies at my stables. If I start going to the lessons again I’ll get to hang round the yard and help out with the other girls, too. I might even enter our local cross-country comp, because now I’ve had a go at it I don’t want to stop! I could ask to take Flicka from the stables, or maybe my friend Lucy would lend me her dapple grey, Storm. And who knows, perhaps one day, if I’m lucky, I’ll even get another pony of my own!
So, thank you Sunnyside, and thank you Charm!
