Leo's Horse Adventure
Leo loved to visit his grandfather's farm in Kentucky.
The grass looked bright and green under the sunny sky.
Rolling hills went on for miles and miles.
White wooden fences ran along the big pastures.
Leo walked down a long dirt path.
He saw a mother horse and her tiny brown foal.
The foal ran around on fast little legs.
Leo smiled and waved his hand.
Next, Leo walked up a small green hill.
He looked across the big open fields.
Suddenly, he saw a horse with a white spot on its nose.
It was his favorite horse, Sam!
Sam trotted right up to the white fence.
Leo reached out to pet Sam's soft nose.
Grandfather gave Leo a fresh red apple slice to feed Sam.
Leo loved exploring the beautiful horse farm.
