The Lucky Horseshoes

Nancy Drew, Bess, and George Fayne were waiting for school to end. They were excited to go to their riding lesson after school. Bess showed all of her classmates her mothers earings. They were lucky horseshoes earings. Bess, Nancy, and George ran when the bell rang. They walked to the riding lessons. Mandy was showing off her new boots for the lessons. The riding teacher gave everyone horses, but Mandy got a wild horse. The horse was big and black. Bess got Mandy's old horse Buttercup. When the riders were going to ride, Mandy told Bess to put away her earings otherwise she would lose it. After riding, the earings were gone. Later Nancy went to the scene of the crime. She saw swirl shoe prints. The next day Nancy called all the riders n the room and examined the shoes. She found the matching shoe! It was Mandy. Mandy gave the earings back. She told Bess why she took it. Mandy told Bess she took it because she was afraid of the horse. Then she told the teacher and Mandy got Buttercup.The End
