Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Brad Townsend

As Caroline has grown more and more interested in boys the most handsome, eligible around interest her. Brad Townsend, who attends private school and personally helps train Townsend Prince, is the only son of the farm's owner Clay Townsend. He is particularly handsome and snobby.

2. What is the name of Rory's pony?

Answer: Moe II

In honor of the pony the Griffin family had previously owned, Rory named the new pony Moe II. For short they just call him "Moe".

3. Who is the trainer who starts working with Wonder and whom Wonder in turn distrusts and hates?

Answer: Jim Jennings

Jim Jennings was hired by Ken Maddock shortly before Wonder began training at Townsend Acres. Jennings is young, and Charlie believes he is not as experienced or open minded as necessary for the job.

4. What happens during Wonder's training when Jilly starts riding her?

Answer: Wonder begins making progess in her training

Wonder works the best when people are patient and gentle. Jocko was Wonder's initial rider who repeatedly smacked her with his whip. This turned Wonder into a nervous wreck and turned her off completely to Jennings and training in general. Only when Jilly began riding ded things begin to turn around.

5. Who is the new exercise rider at Townsend Acres who starts riding Wonder when Jilly is gone?

Answer: Jocko

Jocko had only been at Townsend Acres a few days when he was assigned to Wonder. Jennings, Wonder's trainer, felt that Wonder needed a firmer hand on the track and with Jilly being away this was the perfect chance for him to try another rider without anyone getting justifiably upset.

6. Caroline talks Ashleigh into attending the dance at school. This experience turns out to be less than positive and Ashleigh is so embarrassed that she leaves the gym. Where does she hide?

Answer: The gym hallway

Ashleigh was coaxed by her sister to dress up and attend the dance, but this isn't the type of activity Ashleigh enjoys. Because of her nervousness and anxiety she scares off those around and is never even asked to dance. In humiliation Ashleigh retreats to the hallway only to be discovered there minutes later by her friend Linda.

7. Who grants Ashleigh permission to ride Wonder?

Answer: Ken Maddock

Wonder is taken out of training because Maddock, Jennings, and Townsend Sr. feel she is never going to make it as a two year old and that maybe she needs more time to mature. Ashleigh sees this as her chance to ride and train Wonder, so she gains permission to "keep her in shape for the auctions" and enlists Charlie's help as a trainer/coach.

8. This horse was often ridden next to Wonder by either Linda March or Jilly Gordon as a pace horse.

Answer: Dominator

On their afternoon excursions Wonder was accompanied by Charlie on Belle and either Linda or Jilly on Dominator. He provided companionship and stability to the filly as she grew more comfortable with her surroundings and training.

9. During one of the afternoon training sessions Ashleigh is thrown by Wonder.

Answer: True

Wind picked up dry leaves which spooked the filly. Due to Ashleigh's inexperience she slid to the ground and the wind was knocked out of her. Much to Ashleigh's embarrassment Wonder was led back to her by none other than Brad Townsend who happened to be out on the trails that day with his own mount, Townsend Prince.

10. Charlie Burke was invited to whose house for Christmas that year?

Answer: The Griffen's

In light of all the time Ashleigh was spending with Charlie and because of Charlie's delicate position on the farm, the Griffens warmly opened their home and welcomed him for Christmas dinner.
