Pippa and Stardust searched and searched, until their fingers and hooves were sore from digging through the mud and dirt and grass.

It was late afternoon when Pippa said wearily, “Let’s stop for a drink.”

“Good idea.” Stardust straightened up. She started to walk back to the stream, where there was a drinking trough with fresh running water, but she slipped on a patch of mud.

“Careful!” said Pippa.

“Ouch!” Stardust whinnied. “I stubbed my hoof on something hard.”

Her eyes met Pippa’s and they stared at each other for a split second. Then, wordlessly, they threw themselves to the ground and began scraping the mud away. Pippa’s fingers touched something hard and cold. Her heart thudded with excitement. Could it be the other horseshoe that was missing in the Grasslands?

“We’ve found the fourth missing horseshoe!” squealed Stardust.

“Isn’t it funny how sometimes you just stumble across the exact thing that you’re trying so hard to find!” said Pippa, delighted. “How lucky!”

“Mom and Dad are going to be thrilled,” said Stardust. “Two horseshoes in one day! Come on, let’s go and get the other one and take them both back to the castle.”

Stardust scooped up the horseshoe in her mouth and they returned to the stream. Pippa was so happy, she felt like she was walking on air. But as they drew nearer, they saw that Cinders was hunched up and crying. A cold feeling came over Pippa as she hurried toward her.

“Cinders, what’s wrong?” she asked.

“I . . . I . . . I’m sorry,” said Cinders. “It wasn’t my fault. I only left it for a minute. A foal came and told me that you needed me urgently, but I couldn’t find you and when I came back the horseshoe was gone.”
