Trusting

Deborah Hand

Tammy loved horses. Every Sunday afternoon she would ride with her friend Jan in the hills.

Jan had two horses—Buttermilk, a big palomino, and Crackerjack, a pony. Tammy always rode Buttermilk, because Crackerjack wouldn't let anyone ride him but Jan. Most of Jan's friends had been bucked off him at one time or another.

The girls were good riders and often rode bareback. One day, when they were high up in the hills, an airplane flew low overhead, startling Buttermilk. The big horse took off around a corner at a full gallop.
