The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

In Gunpowder’s frenzy, they gain some ground on the Headless Horseman, but Ichabod’s saddle starts to slip and falls off just as he grips Gunpowder’s neck to hold on. They approach the bridge by the church at which (in the stories that Ichabod has heard) the Headless Horseman vanishes. This gives him hope. As soon as Ichabod gets across the bridge, he looks back to see if the ghost has vanished.
