Introduction
When I read The Red Pony it made my heart break a little but, it was a good story to read.

Red Pony has four stories to make up this book they are The Gift, The Great Mountains, The Promise, and The Leader of the People. The Gift it is about Jody and his new horse Jody is the little boy in the story his dad gets him a horse and he named it Gabilan he is to train and keep him clean and also feed him. The Great Mountains it is about how Jody reacts to his horse’s death. Jody turns hateful to the animals he hurt the dogs and he kills a bird. He also starts to wonder what is over the mountains. He starts to ask his parents and the worker about if they have been over there or if they know what is over there.
