Once upon a time, there was a horse named Horsey who lived in a pasture with his friends. One day, Horsey got an invitation to join his family tree's reunion at the trough. He was so excited to see his relatives but he didn't know how to get there.

So, he asked his groom for help. The groom put on his saddled, grabbed the reins and climbed on Horsey's back. Horsey was ready to go! They started to gallop towards the trough when they saw a coop on the way. The groom suggested they stop and check it out.

Inside the coop, they found a stirrup that looked like it was made for Horsey. They tried it on and it fit perfectly! Horsey felt so proud and he couldn't wait to show it off at the reunion.

When they finally arrived at the trough, all of Horsey's family members were amazed by his new stirrup. They all gathered around him and even used it as a step to climb up and sit on his saddle horn. Horsey was happy to have made new friends and be part of such a fun family tree. And from that day on, Horsey was known as the horse with the fancy stirrup. The end.
