Ginger ( Ch7 / Q30)

The character Ginger reveled something new about herself when she said, "Well, if I had had your bringing up, I might have had as good a temper as you, but now I don't believe I ever shall." She revealed the reasons that she had such a bad temper. Ginger had had a very bad life. First she was taken away from her mother as soon as she was weaned and put with a lot of other colts. Then boys through rocks at them to make them gallop. After that she was forced o be broken in by one person holding her mouth open while another forced the bit and halter into her mouth. Even worse, she was almost torn apart by a horrible master that wanted her to do everything he wanted. Finally, Ginger came to Birtwick Park. For the best I hope.
