A Passion for Pony’s  by Donna Cherry

This article is about a girl named Chelsea and her friend Sarah. They both had their own ponies. Chelsea’s pony was called Teddy. She kept Teddy in a paddock that was meant for ponies and horses.

She liked going to the paddock after school to brush her pony so that he can be nice and clean. She liked taking her pony for a ride around the paddock.

Every afternoon Chelsea and Sarah took their ponies over for the low jumps and trotted around the paddock. After that Chelsea  gives him a final brush-down. Then she covers Teddy  with a blanket to keep him warm at night.   

I liked this article because it had interesting words and it had lots of facts about ponies and how to look after ponies.

A Passion For Ponies by Donna Cherry.

This article is about a girl named Chelsea who loved her pony named Teddy. After school Chelsea ran home quickly so she could groom and play with Teddy. Chelsea had a friend named Sarah and she had a pony too. They would play together a lot and groom their ponies together.

Sarah also helped Chelsea groom her pony. Chelsea and Sarah also cleaned up their ponies droppings which looked like small mountains. Sarah loved her pony as much as Chelsea loved Teddy. At the end of the day Chelsea put a warm coat on Teddy so he could be warm and toasty.

If I had a pony I would do the same things that Chelsea and Sarah did I would be as dedicated as they were. I liked the bit about the droppings. It was really funny .

his family. The children got some glitter and made a birthday card for the baby.Then the family went to see the baby in the hospital. When dad saw the glitter card, he got angry because he did not want the baby to have any glitter on her. They also had a family photo with the baby.

The next day dad went to get the photos. The photos had small stars on it. It was the glitter which was on the children and it was in the photo as well.

This story was interesting because it reminded me about when my baby brother was born.
