Perhaps it wouldn't have been so bad if she'd not made so much fun of Buttercup, a gentle mare that was the favorite of one of rich customers, an English girl named Molly. But Belinda managed to make it a lot worse by stealing a necklace belonging to Molly, simply on a prank which Molly didn't even know about at first. But it so happened that Molly came upon Belinda one day, offering Buttercup an apple and then snatching it away before the poor mare could take a bite...and she decided that this was the time to teach Belinda how to behave. Grabbing Belinda's arm and bending it behind her back, the angry Molly forced her over a haybale, jerked down her jodhpurs and began to hand spank her as she kicked and howled.
