Hello, this is Natasha, and I'm here with the Katie story that features a very rare animal.

According to official records, there are precisely zero of them left in the world, but we know differently.

You may recall that Katie has a great art, who is, of course, a witch.

Her name is Chloe, and despite her advanced years,

she is still very sprightly and not at all lacking in energy. A few years ago, she invited Katie to come and stay with her to witness a very special event. The horse who lived in the field next to her cottage was due to give birth to a foal.

When Katie heard about this invitation, she immediately asked if she could bring her best friend Isis with her.

You see, Isis loved horses, and she even owned a pony, which she often let Katie ride.

Aunt Chloe agreed, and the visit was arranged.

The two girls spent Saturday lazing around and chatting,

and taking the next-door neighbour's dog for a walk on the heath.

The big event happened late on Saturday night. In fact, Aunt Chloe had to get the girls out of bed to see it.

When they reached the barn, they saw the beige mare was lying on her side in the hay

and her body was already heaving with

contractions. She neighed and grunted, but seemed to understand what was happening and was not

at all stressed. Nor was she bothered that four people were watching her, although she turned

her head to look at Katie and Isis, as if to say,

Come in, you're just in time to see my foal being born.

Her thick tail swished and some water gushed out of her.

And then a translucent white sack started to appear.

It was slightly torn, and they could see a horse's

hoof inside it. Katie felt a special thrill. She thought, I've seen plenty of magic,

but this is different. This is life. This is a miracle. The farmer went over and started to gently tug the hoof to help the foal emerge.
