4-H Filly

by Patsey Gray

Dove was Sandy’s filly. More than anything else in the world, Sandy wanted Dove to win a prize at the County Fair on Labor Day. Sandy knew that if she could win the prize money, her parents might not have to sell the ranch. When her parents went to San Francisco, Sandy was left to run the ranch single-handed. Fortunately, Mr. Baxter, the 4-H Club advisor, gave Sandy some excellent tips about running the ranch profitably. The first thing Sandy did was to set up a schedule. Then, when her chores were over, she had time to groom Dove and train her for the show. One night when Rosie Kelham, Sandy’s best friend was staying over, there was a terrible crashing of glass and widening of the crack in the wall. The girls knew that the noise meant only one thing--earthquake! It took weeks before the slide that blocked the road between the ranch and civilization could be cleared. Sandy and Rosie learned a lot about themselves and their growing friendship for each other. There are some frightening moments for both teenagers, particularly for Sandy, who attempts to cross the treacherous Back Lands on foot in order to register Dove for the fair. There are sad moments, too, when it looks as if Dove and the ranch will have to be sold. With the help of the 4-H president, Alan McMillan, Sandy manages to solve her problems and win congratulations from all the 4-H members. Since she is a 4-H worker, Patsey Gray can well understand the important role the 4-H plays in the lives of young people. Mrs. Gray lives with her husband, two daughters, and son on Ten Acre Ranch in Walnut Creek, California.
