42344 HORSE CLUB - RIDING CENTRE - RIDER & HORSES (2)

The new stable building is ready. With its green doors and pink windows, it looks simply incredible. Lissi and the other girls can't wait. The horses are in big stalls. They have bales of straw and feed, but they all want to ride out first.

"Finally! The new stable building is ready!" Excitedly, Lissi gets into the car. Her mum sets off. "Hopefully it really is as beautiful as Mr Miller, the owner, promised!" hopes Lissi. She leaps out the instant they arrive at the stables. "Wow! It's even more beautiful than I imagined!" With its green doors and pink windows and window frames, the stable building really does look simply incredible. Lissi immediately runs over from the car to the stable building. Her beloved Arab mare, Stella, is in one of the big stalls. "I missed you so much!" she exclaims. The two days they'd had to wait before they could finally see each other again had really felt like ages. She embraces her horse and fetches the feed box with apples and carrots. She feeds Stella - and then the two of them can finally ride out. What a wonderful day! The sun is shining, a young Arab foal is prancing around the paddock, the birds are singing and Lissi is delighted by the new stable building. Later, she will brush and feed her mare again, and cover her in her special present - a brand-new blanket.
