A blustery day in late May finds a whole HERD of children and ponies milling around the paddock outside Knottwood Castle...
Alas, Isobel gets NO sympathy from her best friend, Hermione...
Emilie-Amelie unexpectedly comes to Isobel's RESCUE!
Suddenly...
Isobel is not in the LEAST flustered...
General Hanbro is SO busy giving them a good telling off...
...that he TOTALLY doesn't notice what his grandaughter is getting up to...
Suddenly, Isobel can't stand the temptation ANY longer!
That's just SO... ISOBEL...
Things ALMOST get peaceful for a while...
Hardly has Isobel got off her pony, however, when...
General Hanbro is SO busy lecturing Belinda...
...that he doesn't notice at ALL what Isobel has been doing!
Isobel just WON'T get off her HORSE!
General Hanbro finally gives UP...
(But... will Isobel's riding escapade end in disaster?)
