This article from Highlights tells the story of Corrie, a 10-year-old girl who is feeling self-conscious about her brother's oversized monster costume that she is wearing for the stable's Halloween parade. She is riding Pokey, the oldest and clunkiest horse in the barn, and feels even more out of place when she sees the elegant costumes of the other riders. During the parade, Corrie's horse remains slow and unresponsive, causing her to feel embarrassed. However, when a mishap occurs with another rider's costume, Corrie and Pokey come to the rescue and save the day. Corrie realizes that Pokey is a good sport and that riding him isn't so bad after all. [Extracted from the article]
