DJ in new mylar shows color loss and small chips at extremities. 109 pp. Daisy's story begins in 1890 on a five-hundred-acre rance in New Mexico. According to her first real friend, Jerry, she was "the purtiest foal" you ever saw. It was Jerry who took care of her at first. He began to train her, first with a hackamore, then with a bridle and saddle. She didn't meet Mr. Brown until she was more than two years old. Mr. Brown was a grocer who lived in Jackson, Michigan, and he needed a good Western horse to pull his delivery wagon. Jerry introduced him to Daisy, and right away Mr. Brown knew that the long, five-day train ride had been worth while. So Daisy came to Michigan, a little frightened and a little lonely. But Mr. Brown and his young son Harold took good care of her, and soon she was willingly pulling the delivery wagon five days a week, twelve hours a day. Everything would have been fine, except that on Saturdays the grocery remained open past six o'clock-and Daisy didn't feel very much like working late on Saturday nights, so she started leaving work early, exactly when the town clock struck six. And that, of course, created a problem....
