It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUGOdVBdQk
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7goQwKjDg
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjTH1NfTFW
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYM2kMlBeK
She did a little bit, but it was too late.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SaxUbmwMZ
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYg1mlL8E7
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BsKfVvwsM
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbnA3JCmZ5
She ran to her and knelt beside her.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q6G1W39u2
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WpkwkoK6y
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1vIqOrQ9T
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHsgWQDDfE
She did as she was told.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJUeG7a3Nb
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI5nATgLMR
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGg6qWVQIh
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5DG3TTqwy
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06P8r6sLXj
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Dq867Muk
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfuJge1RAn
"Hey, Lisa."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwen02iuDo
"Hey, Veronica."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKd5x5MnqS
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwAXQkmMkw
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXiuKh9bk0
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaUU7X9Fgi
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOhUOtDEAJ
Just then, the doctor walked in.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUrR2pnwpd
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c2Xz1rsk8
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTBHP6Cl0q
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Qjbom7qw
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrsc4rgXmw
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbsYaTkmFi
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDudXUdAmK
She found her friends in the tack room.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBL7CkewqH
They turned to her.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXEUskLi4g
Carole spoke first.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yoDbf3LzZ
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtox0WiHUkB
"Ya," Stevie agreed.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsP8fWffkT
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEEQpxl8W2
"What!?" yelled her friends.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lit9VtB5a
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpav5JwRQpQ
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zZ2LHm6PL
"Well, she should," Stevie said.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRhngG6M8E
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci61W7OTCX
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpCEgNSo1e
"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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxtyYnRf59
"Hey, Lisa."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4wWIQdvhZ
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuCYhZGEmo
"I am."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEYs7Xhhm9
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7dSCREMGo
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xQwXfgJwL
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv14iJPFa09
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOtvkyqCSm
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76aKZ4lh6V
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PSgsi5zmE
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2BfsMUHvi
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWZmDMeJWd
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIcmu5Hq6H
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WlyD6MJWS
They stopped in the middle of the woods.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEHr2EEQqo
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY4lunbJZO
A wild dog, Lisa thought.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHkgl9vA9f
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8aySw1aUL
She obeyed.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7MyiUgv0r
"Come on, Prancer."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9SzHtDVjA
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMduHn61hM
"Are you okay, Cordy?"989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HV2gYxmMa
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX4XlaVGrY
"You're welcome."989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPCkoxoCx
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hqezQ90aP
"Let's head back," Lisa said.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBTZfBCang
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.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ8u3hX4jv
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.
