The next morning, Katie was wakened by much neighing in the training field. Somewhat bleary-eyed, she sat up - and noticed that at least two of her horses were downstairs in their stalls. "So why do I hear four voices? Wait - none of my horses have that deep a neigh!" She grabbed a coat and boots and scrambled down the ladder and out the barn door.
A herd of wild horses was cavorting about the lot. The deepest voice belonged to a grey stallion with an upright mane. A younger, reddish stallion was weaving around the jumps, while a black mare stood in deep conversation with Autumn Leaves. The fourth member of the group, a bay pinto mare, was 'talking' with Cameo, the only Sparrow horse currently outside. Gradually the others emerged from the barn, emboldened by Katie's presence. Finally the wild ones had had enough fun and headed out and away. Katie couldn't stop thinking about the two mares as she went about her grooming and cleaning chores. Then back to training Champagne.
The clever colt learned fast, and while he was still fairly green, Blue Moon's owner had spread the news about his trypanosome resistance. Several people competed to buy him, and he brought in $8000 with his sale. And Cameo showed a mare's usual perfect timing.
Katie came home to find this lovely baby lying next to her mother.
(Baby blue-eyes!) Lucy Locket, was very much her mother's daughter, except for a white leg and the blue eyes, but was much too cute for Katie to be disappointed by her not being striped either.
