It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi4ywDMjBl
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizE30rtOFK
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FtfuHAF02
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXMBcKiOKL
She did a little bit, but it was too late.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKosO9U81b
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqx3t5fpnX
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB4lyVbZIT
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj36GJdqb8
She ran to her and knelt beside her.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKOJGXMzT2
"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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWZQYO6UWU
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuzlr2K1pn
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8beAAceVZ
She did as she was told.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrUv0Jrmuy
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWohTLpL2KQ
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVLjVk6AxQ
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mEjjORBw
"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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKqBwCVvAG
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO8NtaFDQX
"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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHObsj4QiFc
"Hey, Lisa."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ7fJU3APl
"Hey, Veronica."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhyQ0lfXxb
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHMdp9gfmt
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQp9V7YW7r
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr91jV36Lw
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ56Q4433K
Just then, the doctor walked in.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KideKVfbp
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1PrlVmYm
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxSRxamgY7
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYzIn4QS78
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx3EWDWm8F
"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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaibAab3jj
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblkp8iRdZ4
She found her friends in the tack room.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cba1JbGUH
They turned to her.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyah6Mw0UqZ
Carole spoke first.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wgV36QpoM
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEIcR0cuQl
"Ya," Stevie agreed.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiLtN9NF9d
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0E6RehpQq
"What!?" yelled her friends.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT4tVz3x55
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB2vYnWFwo
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs0fKORsdt
"Well, she should," Stevie said.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzuBodAMEc
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoGOQK1K6M
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gvKh4o2L7
"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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx9COYpz27
"Hey, Lisa."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrRKxhUrqx
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNYyDrBHLC
"I am."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q6DBf6f82
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjAMO79mm3
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5DS8FALE
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvIyqTcYW2
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kb6GvMx9g
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSrjaGU9Iz
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu9itLFYIp
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFVk80aXaX
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20vfJ0B5nJ
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpf9RTIjuT
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XT87sQX0M
They stopped in the middle of the woods.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53QB82bi3o
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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yhzHwIFez
A wild dog, Lisa thought.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ek3wtbU9C
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIura3TFNF
She obeyed.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQyyvz1gdD
"Come on, Prancer."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfF3juv5X
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLLPZpVe7g
"Are you okay, Cordy?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqpCbtFTj2
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUofE7Qse3
"You're welcome."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zrwgWAp3U
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKep9jiDJ7h
"Let's head back," Lisa said.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Rtq8b8Rq
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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaFjTa9f9C
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.
