Beauty can't trot or neigh or do the things horses do, so Alice plays the pony game with Beauty, and walks him around the yard on a bridle. She grooms Beauty's shiny black coat with a brush, and feeds him dry grass along with his dog biscuits! When Alice's next-door neighbour Kate goes on holiday and leaves her horse Midnight for Alice to look after, Alice soon forgets all about Beauty and the pony game. Looking after a horse is so much hard work though, and soon Alice thinks that maybe having a dog isn't so bad after all.' (Publication summary)
