Gallop into this month’s Cricket.

As you might guess from our racetrack cover (or you might not) this Cricket includes two horse stories. In “Anabelle Tames the Round Warrior,” a girl who lives on a horse farm trains a spirited but stubborn pony. And in “Two Destinies,” young Siddhartha—whom we know today as the Buddha—discovers his destiny to be a teacher rather than a king while caring for his stallion Kanthaka.

In “Two of Me,” a girl learns to cope with having newly divorced parents. And “A Gift of Goats” focuses on a program in Jordan that helps rural families who have lost a father to raise goats for food and income.

You’ll also find part 2 of “A Ghost on the Moor,” and the first installment of a new serial, based on a true story, about pirates who capture and ransom a young Julius Caesar.

There’s a new poetry contests about horses, and in Cricket Country Muffin adopts a lost pony. So don’t say neigh to Cricket.
