It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzgDJBBSDs
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WXbjgLuRE
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHBhrF43XX
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuArIFmEdbx
She did a little bit, but it was too late.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Ejwul35N
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob9I23SPB4
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygeEpKmbJH
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG9SEdBmQo
She ran to her and knelt beside her.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMXJiqkkRO
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAopR3y9by
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm5cABa9Zs
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9m8fXcXZ
She did as she was told.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlegYrsPBh3
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITh3asqscB
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ByhcBOUME
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRBo4vxLNh
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnM7vryhqY
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrHlZ80jvf
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbyYcaABwb
"Hey, Lisa."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kgw0Q55Jm
"Hey, Veronica."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyroaUpeT2R
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNxPzdyQdD
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFJHZlejwn
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80bJcepxhB
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBjRnw7apd
Just then, the doctor walked in.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXIO71fqfI
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7rtYEe2ey
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhekiedmHN
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarz9kcO0ZO
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX3HHf2xC4
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyNbw0xWM
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mGZqLlmxA
She found her friends in the tack room.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HaZJB6xgj
They turned to her.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtElaHrIn2
Carole spoke first.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaSSO1oppk
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPZUCVCuuc
"Ya," Stevie agreed.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UdnpAXJwe
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUerZ0PqYp
"What!?" yelled her friends.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu3vH8YTWa
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaqAPRdaTD
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3FgPEytsv
"Well, she should," Stevie said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFLr1mSkFv
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJfSJXjDkx
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvOjMZrrza
"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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mimNXw215
"Hey, Lisa."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55svpAOUD2
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1KSRwvGI8
"I am."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh76MQB3Ln
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqyziRLfNA
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLA8DIJUMe
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj5RP0UBM1
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDweZpJATG
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9tIIC9jd7
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoFPz5NEZ2
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJYhTAgb5d
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsibGu3yzy
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVZRt1zAFx
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4uate6qKY
They stopped in the middle of the woods.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9xAb1cwgs
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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSESulMQRz
A wild dog, Lisa thought.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rbsLUmiUC
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsMrKw5PFp
She obeyed.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxDTJuVzQx
"Come on, Prancer."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z03IFhJkB
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ1EVHkhez
"Are you okay, Cordy?"954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlFon9XPMz
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmcUstbx04
"You're welcome."954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCnlQeLfVa
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ2bvaMmz0
"Let's head back," Lisa said.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28KGLSiwoD
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.954Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSprUpabNv
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.
