Summary 2

One night, Velvet cannot sleep, she walks out of the house and sees an old gentleman dressing black. He asks her how did she come here. She tells him that she comes here by a pony. He also asks her that did she like ponies or not. She knocks her head and said that she had only one pony, and it's old. Then, he dragged her to his stables, he said that he had a lot of horses. She knew one of his horses' name. It's called Sir Pericles. Her old pony's name is Miss Ada. She said that she dreamed about horses every night when she's sleeping. She also said that she dreams to be a famous horse rider and wins a lot of trophies. 

The old man has five horses in his stables. Velvet wants to have a lot of horses to ride every day. The first grey mare had the snowy grey coat of the brink of age. The second one is a small pony, slim and strong, like a miniature horse. The other three are hunters and carriage horses and cart horses. He takes out a piece of paper and writes down her name. Velvet and his gardener sign at the paper. She takes the paper. At four o'clock in the morning, Mally announces that Velvet has won a piebald horse, but Mr. Cellini is dead. In the morning, Velvet waits for the horses to be delivered. When they comes, many people comes and watch. The horses' names are Sir Pericles, Angelina, Fancy and George.

When the horses had been with the Browns a month, they had lost flesh a little in the dry, sea-blown field, and were very slightly out of condition. Mi knew it, but didn't tell Velvet. Edwina and Velvet usually ride Sir. Pericles and Mrs. James. At night, they don't keep Mr. Pericles and Mrs. James because it'll be murder. So they put them in a stable. Then they check their schedule and "Novices jumping" is coming soon this week, they plan to take piebald because it can jump    
to three foot six but they don't have enough money join so Meredith suggests Velvet to sell Miss Ada but Velvet doesn't allow her. 

In the end, Velvet rides Sir. Pericles to the Tablet Gully alone. She ties him at the gate and free piebald. It runs away and then disappears. But Mally found him went down to the see as usual, and they decided not to tell their father. After dinner, they put piebald inside the loose-box. Velvet stays their to look after him, she gives him apple to eat. At midnight, Mi comes out and looks after piebald and Velvet goes to sleep. At the competition, the Browns loses five shillings because they didn't train their horses but the crowns impress with piebald after he breaks the gate and jumps over a three foot six wall. But the judge said that she didn't complete the competition yet.
