It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VapybwRNh
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXCuKXEFYa
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFai9uL4RJ
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV92nTxXugC
She did a little bit, but it was too late.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmHxgBJ92C
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUcqc9np2v
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKcD2nPH2Q
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3wM6AViYu
She ran to her and knelt beside her.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz7hCnQZma
"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.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CAhXMqWQz
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Er2O8AeVj
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S3sWJ7fk3
She did as she was told.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mt2Rq8X9S
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDxeyCwvTz
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJGuJh6lt6
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdYOtgP2DR
"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.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wMfHoheJj
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdB8l6E6xC
"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.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L01ssUx5K
"Hey, Lisa."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRGr4CYb6Y
"Hey, Veronica."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK5hdCk1Ab
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJd6PkzFRz
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6SMCDRLMp
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtanTXlzwra
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8kQEjQ6eD
Just then, the doctor walked in.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVz30pOV1w
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgOYTYh5ub
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEPohGgFaW
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYt4eFEeb6
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ95kZYvQ3
"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.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3OItlCVAU
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklheGu9EVD
She found her friends in the tack room.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwldJeh4sC
They turned to her.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqWEYquO0o
Carole spoke first.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoi6QwKNYI
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnlO2jEliV
"Ya," Stevie agreed.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ03uA93al
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BnndwdRvr
"What!?" yelled her friends.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt855tsWHCf
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7HNsftbFk
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Die82fcW
"Well, she should," Stevie said.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3WpzzDvSt
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7UCYLesS9
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdruf04voXL
"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.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF2YziTkNc
"Hey, Lisa."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NyLQJ3xLH
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyXS8f2S0q
"I am."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrAjYicHt0
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPBex8ezVs
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3PCkH5PFF
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmtBbQ8qjR
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SNtBTlZj0
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrOh7ZxoNA
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGZUjuj09B
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26L5byQUnc
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU4GCMNwUD
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfx6zL19Xk
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh72j0KSw7
They stopped in the middle of the woods.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC6Mnlbb2I
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.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC2xSj6YSx
A wild dog, Lisa thought.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNYGxjRuNs
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMioOKRYSp
She obeyed.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIYAIb0er5
"Come on, Prancer."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96R3xb1aQI
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lvBaTeMIo
"Are you okay, Cordy?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucltjX4ORy
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh88pxc4Lcu
"You're welcome."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROrf1eMbkL
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia31lIVVJA
"Let's head back," Lisa said.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWLJnxT1Bf
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.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzUg13K3gO
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.
