After school, the three friends liked to help with the horses and the other animals that lived on the farm. 6 Kelly and Chris were sisters who owned the farm. They kept horses and gave riding lessons. They also took in animals that had no home. 7 One day, Emily, Anna, and Mandy saw a new horse at the farm. He was very big. He looked dirty and thin. And his mane was messy. He seemed sad. 8 Mandy, Anna, and Emily petted the horse. "He's so skinny, I can feel his bones," said Mandy.
