It made me feel a whole lot better too. Alright, so we would come in last, I knew that, but at least people would be cheering us and not laughing at us. That would be enough for me.

It was my fault that Barnaby sat down. When the race started and the others went galloping off, Barnaby was just left standing. All I did was give him the gentlest of kicks with my heels to get him going. A little tickle that’s all it was. “Go!” I shouted. I shouldn’t have done it. I shouldn’t have said it. I knew well enough that if you kick Barnaby on, he sits down. He’d done it to me dozens of times when I was at Gran’s place on holiday. But I forgot I suppose, or I just didn’t think. Anyway he sat down, and I slid off the back of him, and sat there on the ground feeling very stupid, and very angry with myself for being so stupid.
