Reader Story Fridays: Joker and Friends

This week's reader story is from Kari Lee, age 12:

My first horse was Joker. He’s not really mine, just the stable’s, but I think of him as mine. He’s a big and white gelding and I think he’s a Quarter Horse but I don’t really know for sure. Joker’s funny because he likes to scare new riders, but he doesn’t do it mean. He just stands there behind them when they’re talking to the teachers before riding and snorts “WHUFFF!” when they forgot he was there. He did it to me and it made me laugh. Now I see him do it to other people and some are scared but some laugh too. Joker knows how to make friends.
