Pep #142

In "Equitation or 'English vs. Western'," Katy finds herself at a horse-riding academy mastering the refined techniques of English-style riding, but her new instructor’s grace sparks a rivalry with Cowboy Curley, who’s quick to challenge him to a showdown on the wild, bucking broncos of the Western tradition.

In "Growing Pains," Jo finds herself caught between childhood and the grown-up world when she decides she’s too old for her afternoon nap—only to discover that without her friends around, there’s no one left to play with. The story captures the quiet humor of small rebellions and the bittersweet loneliness that comes with feeling like you’ve outgrown the moment.
