Summary 3

At the end, Velvet doesn't win that jumping game because she cares about piebald's health. Then they leaves the Ring and rest for the next competition. Then, the Voice announces for Event Number Five. Her rivals are two livery-stable men from Worthing, a grizzled woman with short hair and a hanging underlip, and a young man in checks on a hired horse with poverty checks. Everyone likes Sir Pericles horse. Velvet eliminates all the competitors left the little boy and a fat little man with a big horse's stable and comes Flora Bank  rode on a bay horse like a racer, lean and powerful and fully sixteen hands. But Velvet manages to beat them all and wins thirty shillings. At these chapters, they often mention the word "Weatherby", it's a gateway to a great park.

After she had given Mi the forty shillings, she had put three pounds in the Post Office Savings Bank. But Mr. Brown, Please with the performance at the gymkhana, had given her five shillings. She had wanted to bank this too but there is outcry among the sisters. One day, Velvet meets Mr. Ede. He saw piebald's performance at the competition. Velvet writes a letter to a the Weatherby (I think because the story didn't tell who she sent the letter to) to ask him about the Rules of entering for the Grand National Race. September passed and October came. Velvet by now had grown bolder. She no longer rose in dawn to fetch the piebald to the mushroom valley but take him in the red-haired autumn under cold afternoon moons of October  on dew-drenched grass. He can now jump five foot high.

 Now   Mi and Velvet are deciding to change a new name for piebald so when she wins the Grand National Race they will record his name for history. But in the end, they just call him The Piebald because they can't think a better name to call him. A reply from the Weatherby said that they needed a hundreds pound and money for a horsebox to enter the Grand National Race but they don't have enough money. So they asked for Mrs. Brown's saving money and she accepts but they won't tell Mr. Brown because he may disagree.

 On the first Monday in January Mi takes the whole entry money of a hundred pounds in gold sovereigns in a bag up to London. He goes to Mssrs. Weatherby in Cavendish Square. At first, they need only ten pounds but then they decide to take his one hundreds pounds and give him changes back, ask him some questions about the horse and the competitor, it takes a lot of time and Mi is getting impatient and inconvenience. Finally, they give him a receipt. Day after day, The Piebald becomes stronger and stronger. The National Grand Race is in Liverpool. Velvet and Mi save money and go there by taxi.
