Chapter 2

"Mum whats wrong with her?" Kelly asked. "Its a premature birth,sorry Kelly I don't think either her or the the foal will make it" replied Maxine Frost. Sunshine Bay grunted for another hour. As soon as the foal could breathe her mother let her in to see the weak foal.The copper coloured foal couldn't even stand up yet which is very unusual because foals normally stand straight away. "I'll have to call the vet to get the foal put down"said Maxine. "NO!!"shouted a tearful Kelly "I will look after him for as long as it takes.""Well okay then but don't be disappointed when he dies" said Maxine "I'll have the vet come out to have a look at him anyway. The next morning Kelly awoke in the little colts stall. Sunshine Bay had to put down and Kelly was full of greif. Mrs Maxwell said that the foal has a 20% chance of living. Kelly had decided to name the foal Sun Burst Bay or Sunny for short. Kelly looked after him every day and he seemed to look stronger each time she looked at him.
