Black Beauty and Ginger had carried someone with a carriage since he moved in new orner's house. When Lady Helen got into the carriage, she asked a groom to put horses' heads higher because she always cared about not always her look but also her surrounding appearance and thought it was good looking to do that. The groom would reject her request because that was not good for horses, but obeyed it because she asked him strongly. He tightened the reins, so those horses had to pull with their heads up. That strained their back and legs. Day by day, their reins were shoter and shorter.
One day, she got on the carriage and asked to shorten the reins more. When the groom tried to do that, Ginger got the bit between his teeth and accidentally kicked Black Beauty.
I hate Lady Helen because she thought how only they would feel her apperance was good, not thought about hourse. I think it is the most important thing to care about my surroundings. If someone concern with himself, I won't like him.
I worry about Black Beauty's hurt and Ginger. I hope Black Beauty's wound will heal soon and Ginger will come down.

Where should we draw the line between using animals and hurting them? The horses are being used to pull a carriage, instead of running free - doesn't that hurt them too?
