Lady Anne preferred riding me. Once, Lady Anne wanted to ride another horse. During the ride, a scary moment happened. Lady Anne%u2019s horse got frightened and threw her off. I tried to help by making loud noises until someone came to help. I became her saddle horse from then on.Reuben Smith was responsible for the stables when Mr. York was in London. Max told me, %u201cHe is good at driving carriages and looking after horses. Sometimes, Reuben drinks too much, but when he doesn%u2019t drink, he is really good at taking care of the horses and doing his work.%u201dOne day, the carriage needed fixing, so Smith drove me with the carriage to town. He left it at the carriage-maker%u2019s and Smith rode me to the White Lion hotel. He told the stableman to give me some food and have me ready for four o%u2019clock.When Smith turned back, it was nine o%u2019clock and he was very angry. The groom said, %u201cThat front shoe will fall off soon.%u201d%u201cI don%u2019t think so,%u201d he replied. %u201cIt can%u2019t fall off. Bring me my horse!%u201d He started to ride me fast. He whipped me again and again.%u201cGo as fast as you can!%u201dBefore we left the town, my shoe fell off, and I couldn%u2019t go on. I fell hard pain on both my knees, and threw Smith. It was midnight. I started to neighloudly. Suddenly, a carriage appeared from the dark and stopped. I felt really glad when I heard my friend, Ginger. Two men got off the carriage. One of them said, %u201cIt%u2019s Reuben, and he%u2019s not moving, Robert.%u201d The other man, Robert, touched Smith and sadly said, %u201cHe%u2019s not alive.%u201d %u201cRobert, look at Black Beauty%u2019s foot! What happened to it?%u201d said the other groom.%u201cThere is no shoe! Why did Reuben ride a horse without a shoe? PoorBeauty!%u201d
