White Stallion
Gretchen's great-great-grandmother had a fascinating story to tell. This tale was passed on through Gretchen's grandmother to her mother, and now to her. It is the story of the White Stallion who saved her life. It was 1845 and three families were emigrating out west. They traveled in covered wagons drawn by four horses. Gretchen and her family were in the last wagon, and Mother and Father sat on the driver's seat. The children were inside with the household goods. Because it was so hot in the wagon, Gretchen asked to ride on their horse Anna for a while. Gretchen's father lifted her onto the mare and tied her securely so that she would not fall off. When Gretchen falls asleep and the wagon's axle breaks, she drifts off, far from her family. Only a miracle can save her from harm and reunite her to her family - the magic of the White Stallion.
