“I CAN’T EVEN tell you what it was like,” Carole whispered to Lisa the following Tuesday at their Horse Wise meeting. Stevie craned her neck to listen, too. “I think we were going a thousand miles an hour—”

“I don’t think racehorses go more than about fifty,” Lisa said sensibly.

“You know what I mean,” Carole said.

“No, perhaps you’ll tell us,” Max said pointedly. They were having an unmounted meeting and were sitting in Max’s office at Pine Hollow supposedly talking about horse parasites. All Carole wanted to talk about, however, was the incredible ride she’d had on Prancer and how she was actually going to be at the racetrack to watch the filly run. However, she didn’t want to talk about those things in the middle of a Pony Club meeting.

“Sorry, Max,” she said sheepishly, noticing that everybody, including Horse Wise’s newest member, May, was staring at her. Carole blushed.

Max cleared his throat authoritatively and resumed the meeting. “Now, who can tell me about parasite control in stable horses?” Max asked. May’s hand shot up.

Racehorses were out; parasites were in—at least until The Saddle Club had a chance to get to TD’s after the meeting.

The minute Horse Wise was finished, the three girls made a dash for TD’s, slid into booths at the ice cream shop, and ordered their treats. Then Carole told her friends absolutely everything about riding Prancer and how wonderful it had been. Even if Stevie and Lisa had wanted to get a word in edgewise, they wouldn’t have been able to. Carole was just too excited.

“The only thing that will be missing on Saturday when I’ll be at the racetrack with Judy and Mr. McLeod and”— she sighed before uttering the name—“Prancer, is that you guys can’t be there with me. You’ve got to meet her, though. She’s some horse!”

Stevie winked at Lisa. Carole never even noticed.
