It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqGEmOdH7Q
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWSnwZKsmH
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXjoSYcLes
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh0ZXyKfHg
She did a little bit, but it was too late.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX5RhA7dvv
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x6wLLyMkd
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX4mUlVhUj
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr8khV42zS
She ran to her and knelt beside her.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8SCi4hxQQ
"Veronica," she said and felt for a pulse on the side of her neck. She was unconscious. Lisa also thought she had a broken arm at least, the way it was set.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA01V72hfZ
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQksU9Ml8e
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8kkETKn0Y
She did as she was told.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzZfEr6gvB
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fGK1eNHtt
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6vg0TJxgy
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ySBYvqcK
"He has a broken leg, but he'll be okay," she announced.
The next day, instead of going to Pine hollow, Lisa went to the hospital to see Veronica.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhuKVJTTJK
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTvAZlrl5h
"Veronica, it's me. Lisa. I'm sorry for what happened. Cobalt broke a leg, but he'll be okay soon. I know how it is to be in a coma. You know that. Get well soon. Wake up, Veronica. I miss you. I really do miss you. I know you want to be a part of the Saddle Club. I'll try my very best. Just get better."
Two hours later, she woke up.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHEkZycsmi
"Hey, Lisa."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDnHE6MDou
"Hey, Veronica."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJqlHpP4Fu
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPwF1aKcn2
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOK4uv9EUf
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38ArzP8MCF
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O5RpSiga2
Just then, the doctor walked in.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvteW03ekH5
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xtcRrVEE5
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HEWZElL2T
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfaz8IDTe0
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBloqtCD8uD
"Oh, Cobalt. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," she apologized after letting go of him, petting him on the muzzle.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujxQPkoyfN
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgO9KiMGgC
She found her friends in the tack room.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOkjSScKwm
They turned to her.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgYte4emWr
Carole spoke first.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS2dsI8nXf
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaiIYdaz1A
"Ya," Stevie agreed.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaaTeFBKL5
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJy7Hn1O1R
"What!?" yelled her friends.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCQIOahRwG
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS5IrXbEqL
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T0C00b8Lg
"Well, she should," Stevie said.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJeKUOyLbr
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTFBvxL6X3
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppTg0wBKrk
"If she really wants to change, she can do it on her own," Stevie added.
"Fine! But I'm still going to help her change!" Lisa yelled at them and then walked off.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA3ovGyvnG
"Hey, Lisa."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoLLeCX0Ui
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9nPPYhyeo
"I am."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLpL2RvSF6
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK3gx6Rs4t
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc1mNvb7kQ
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCItTpmpN6d
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sMk2LlwfJ
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpWq7hXk2r
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeCljpTklV
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcqgZmHEof
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TAY9efwGG
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5SBllCN9h
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYcVscOp7M
They stopped in the middle of the woods.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAUQ2AIaKJ
They saw Cordelia on her horse Lightning. He was a pure black stallion. He looked identical to Cobalt. Lightning was rearing up on his rider, scared of what was growling at them. A German Shepherd.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZMhnciWn1
A wild dog, Lisa thought.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEPpn3saFj
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLKXfMQXzn
She obeyed.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5MWoNH9hz
"Come on, Prancer."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz1r03IAzQ
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Cd32BApC
"Are you okay, Cordy?"986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEttExML8Z
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLbr64RrJR
"You're welcome."986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7GXVi7fWK
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpFzFtCkEc
"Let's head back," Lisa said.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh1hd6OJ2v
Veronica mounted Prancer and Lisa kicked Prancer to a gallop.
Lisa talked to Veronica as she groomed Prancer. They were both in the stall with the Breyer horse. She was telling her how to learn to be nice.986Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lD8WMyRN4
A few days later, Veronica was nice, Lisa and her friends were back, and Veronica was part of the Saddle Club. So everybody lived happily ever after.
