      When and where did you learn to ride? I first learnt to ride when I was really young — too small to remember, in fact. I learnt at home as we were very lucky to have horses and I was brought up around them. What are your horsey childhood memories? I

      Monica and the Unbeatable Bet - Diana G Gallagher

      One

      Practice Makes

      Perfect?

      Chloe and I were happy when Mark Bristow, the trainer at our stable, decided to have a practice horse show.

      It had been months since the last show. Chloe wanted a warm-up. I wanted the experience.

      Owen, Megan, and Lydia thought it was a stupid idea. And they made that very clear on Wednesday after our lesson while we brushed down our horses in the stable. They just kept whining and complaining about spending a whole Saturday at the barn.

      This is really unfair, Megan said. We should each get to choose whether we want to do this practice show or not.

      Mark wants everyone to do well at Holly Hills in two weeks, Alice explained. This is a perfect way to practice.

      The Holly Hills Horse Show was the first real show of the season. It was a huge event.

      I’ve been in lots of horse shows, Owen said. I know what to do.

      I don’t, I said, shrugging. Holly Hills is my first show.

      It’s the first show for three other students, too, Alice added.

      That’s not my problem, Megan said. She scowled at me.

      It’s Mark’s problem, Megan, Rory said. He leaned on his pitchfork. "He wants everyone to do well, and for the stable to look good. You don’t want to let Mark down, do you?"

      "No, of course not," Megan said. She sighed and glared at me again.

      I already have other plans for Saturday! Lydia whined.

      Alice shrugged. If you want to show at Holly Hills, you have to practice this Saturday, she said. That’s it. Mark sets the rules, and you guys all know that. This practice show is really important to him. So if it’s important to you, you’ll be here. Then she turned around and walked out of the stable.

      Maybe that is a good idea, Owen said. Mark will find out which lesson kids are good enough to enter Holly Hills.

      Yeah, Megan said. Then she looked me right in the eye and added, And it’ll help him find out who isn’t good enough.

      I blinked. Does that mean if I mess up Mark won’t let me show? I asked. I looked over at Chloe, hoping she could make me feel better.

      No, Megan said. It means that if you mess up at the dumb practice show, you might realize you shouldn’t be riding in the first place.

      All
