Bella the Pony

In a sunny meadow, a little pony named Bella loved to canter! Cantering is a fun way for ponies to run, not too fast, but just right for a joyful bounce.

Bella would gallop with her friends, feeling the wind in her mane. “Let’s canter to the big oak tree!” she neighed. Off they went, hooves thumping on the soft grass, laughter echoing in the air.

Cantering made Bella feel free and happy, just like a bird soaring in the sky. So, next time you run, remember Bella and her joyful canter!
