"I want to see too," Jodi added.
"Okay," said Maggie. She started toward the barn, but Tim and Jodi raced past her. Maggie had to run to keep up.
Dad looked out of the barn just in time to wave them to a stop. "Hey, slow down," he said. "You can't go running up to horses like that. You'll spook them."
Jodi said, "Look! Horses! And they are big!"
"They're ... enormous!" gasped Tim. "Can we ride them?"
"Sure," said Dad.

Dad laughed. "No," he said. "I don't think they make saddles that big. But you don't need a saddle. I'll put you up there."
"Up there?" Jodi asked, looking frightened. "I don't think so."
Tim said, "Are they fast?"
