It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcULqNRRAFB
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXpNyNJjqD
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi35Z0TibxO
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI9CwjaUme
She did a little bit, but it was too late.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCvcYXnIOY
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSGsDr9Mbk
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwrLBI91DN
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL2xyXSdIz
She ran to her and knelt beside her.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7242xuira
"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.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43H86GOadf
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lf6WnVwtf
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGVcVXS5dL
She did as she was told.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPl9Ry2li1
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFWxLiwqtm
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgujnIxqwYl
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgp74HNHsR
"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.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6nNli5ru9
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeRzYg02ek
"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.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCCkAcpLPO
"Hey, Lisa."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWDyHh27y1
"Hey, Veronica."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcdfGrnJXt
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPGKY9QMJ7
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4x7rGAHi0
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiTOyxzBrB
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAGgpjQPfa
Just then, the doctor walked in.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEgwtkWqPl
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI3Hwy8ovi
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4JTucrdbh
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCtMQFqAav
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtnkxFQ4xb
"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.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRgqyCwmEH
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4zaJfqo9q
She found her friends in the tack room.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcq6c7acIo
They turned to her.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISrxA4Vde8
Carole spoke first.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLmwjLhX0E
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyNd0dc4tj
"Ya," Stevie agreed.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNXuPfCaKh
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhr18S8tuK
"What!?" yelled her friends.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllMv3ymWgU
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaOvDd9Vku
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyTBEs9Bec
"Well, she should," Stevie said.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwDVW0H4lf
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi645UCKlLw
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqOvaIEq0D
"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.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQFALyUyQU
"Hey, Lisa."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMj9sjUQd4
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIcaPePx4o
"I am."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHLhAo3QAL
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxuQ7Js9Y9
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtVnZ4Bkgr
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPxntG4hxJ
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLdZS6kxuS
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKRg4iredA
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLNp6x6f8p
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbxPdiFsMA
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpvswPiwHH
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZeNpwlWyz
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjZm3PWaf5
They stopped in the middle of the woods.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzf9zwxBdA
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.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgGaHrOe5T
A wild dog, Lisa thought.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgX2IhPUZy
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTZKizpEme
She obeyed.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiZ2yzqopH
"Come on, Prancer."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsXiOSSPbM
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZET1a9VTHl
"Are you okay, Cordy?"929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7UhLb5dvu
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC6oJmxT12
"You're welcome."929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrzpdfc9Am
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhvfaToiyM
"Let's head back," Lisa said.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm08UVkWwp
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.929Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF21CMKppM
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.
