Chapter 3

"Sun Burt! Happy first birthday! I bought you a carrot." Sun Burst munched on the carrot dropping half of it in the stall. "Mum said we can start to try to break you in and train you to race.I know you will beat all the horses and win the Triple Crown! Although Sun burst was only half the size he should be his now charcoal Black Coat glistened at the slightest glimmer of light. "Time for school!" Maxine shouted "If you don't pry yourself away from that horse or you'll miss the bus!!" Kelly kissed Sunny on the nose and sprinted of to her house to get ready for school. School seemed to take forever because she was supposed to get a saddle on Sunny. Two hours later the bell finally rang. Kelly had got her report an A for English, a B for Maths , a A+ for Reading and a C+ for Spelling which was a good report for her because she wasn't very good at spelling. As soon as she got home she threw on a t-shirt and some jeans , ran to the tack room and grabbed a exercise saddle and saddle cloth. When she got into the stall she led Sunny into the cross ties and slowly placed the saddle cloth onto his back he bucked and a half an hour later she placed the saddle on.He didn't care and she very slowly did the girth up loosely. She left the stall to give him time to get used to the saddle and ten long minutes later she returned and took the saddle off.She was very proud with what she did and couldn't wait for tomorrow when she would try to bridle him which wouldn't happen straight away but she knew he would be the greatest racehorse ever even though nobody believes in them.
