On the way to Winterflood Farm, Mrs Brown started to have second thoughts.

“Sweetie,” she said, “I think we have to face reality. I can’t buy you a pony. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. I don’t even know what half the words in the ads mean. Look at what just happened! That pony sounded perfect to me and he was a total nightmare!”

Issie felt a chill run through her as she saw her chances of ever getting a pony slipping away. “You mean I’m not getting a pony after all?”

“I didn’t say that,” her mum corrected her, “but it’s certainly clear to me now that we can’t do it alone. We need help.”

“Stella could come and look with us,” Issie suggested.

Mrs Brown didn’t look impressed. “I was thinking of someone a little more experienced and mature than Stella.” She sighed. “If only Hess wasn’t so busy with the new farm.” She looked at Issie. “I’m afraid we may have to put these pony plans of yours on the back burner again and wait until your aunt has time to help us.”
