INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Chapter 13 of The Sunbridge Girls at Six Star Ranch!

This 1913 adventure follows the Happy Hexagons as they ride across the Texas prairie, meet travelers, explore ranch life, and face an unexpected danger after dark.

As you read, don’t rush to decide what something means.

A wise Pony Partner slows down, notices clues, asks questions, and looks for good evidence.

Here are three detective skills you’ll use along the way:

EVIDENCE - something the story actually tells you or a trustworthy source confirms.

GUESS - a possible answer that still needs checking.

ASSUMPTION - a guess treated as true before there is enough evidence.

Watch for Mini-PAUSE stops throughout the story. They’ll invite you to notice details, consider another point of view, connect clues, and think about what matters. You’ll also discover TRUE EQ horse knowledge and compare some 1913 riding and ranch practices with what responsible horse people know today.
