“What can we do to make Sumatra happy again?” Brisa whispered to Kona and Sirocco. “Maybe a makeover?”

“Or some super-duper snack!” Sirocco suggested.

Kona shook her head.

“I don’t think there’s anything we can do,” she said wisely. “Sumatra’s joy is up to her. Hopefully, she’ll have so much fun on tomorrow’s trail ride that she’ll stop thinking so much about home!”

CHAPTER 5

Saddled

At horse camp the next morning, Kona and Brisa flew off to see if they could rustle up some buggy riders.

Sirocco and Sumatra perched on a fence rail outside the stables to watch the campers at their lessons. The girls learned to apply halters and bridles to their horses, to lead them on ropes and rein them in, to use the stirrups to hoist themselves into their saddles, and many other horsey skills.

As Sumatra watched and learned, she weaved her colorful magic ribbons to create the Wind Dancers’ tack.

She started by making four saddle pads.

“These remind me of the sleeping blankets we have at home,” Sumatra said to herself.

Then, while she fashioned ribbons into stirrups, she asked Sirocco, “Remember how I looped ribbons just like this to make a soccer net back home?”

And as Sumatra crafted bridles, she mused, “I think I’ll make these in yellow and green. Those colors remind me of our meadow filled with dandelions back home.”

Before Sumatra could reminisce any more, Brisa and Kona returned.

“Thank goodness you’re back!” Sirocco whispered. “If I have to listen to Sumatra go on about home for one more minute, I’m going to get homesick myself!”

“No worries,” Kona said smoothly. “Soon, we’re going to be too busy riding the trails to even think about home!”

Then she turned and said, “Come along, buggies!”
