It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf69014Gii
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA68se6uRBo
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ByRDHcTn
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwEKXXL5Ar
She did a little bit, but it was too late.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZVP5ogNL3
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUS6hQllVp
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOPrJmyGoG
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoV5vvm9iq
She ran to her and knelt beside her.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVD3pbUbw8
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQPvHprpkE
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2C2Oa2roU
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIGblGPyje
She did as she was told.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK44ytSn004
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH60CfTOIV8
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YSYYVsVsD
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgKFAVnJw
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxiJ7lafNt
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTgdpueVu9
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjfiK4UwgL
"Hey, Lisa."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLde597StlM
"Hey, Veronica."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS4QbRtpRo
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIYED1r5Fm
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrpgkODtH6
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjgxI0ve6A
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCUKAEwI4D
Just then, the doctor walked in.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfsLGkazve
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLTZhgJ5RF
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0G9mNxw5
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwCQPY3JAd
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnJuwWHSJc
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CcXcSBWOM
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskROanf1iJ
She found her friends in the tack room.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Dn5bkHWY
They turned to her.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaopxGPtih8
Carole spoke first.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmCXfXl2Mi
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcvXfvxoMG
"Ya," Stevie agreed.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGm5Xbh4E8
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHsePRB92J
"What!?" yelled her friends.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrxj9Iu1dr
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakUy59BjFF
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mfDlBveRQ
"Well, she should," Stevie said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsRvkMuQ1G
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhsl6uSB3n
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkNeNKLSFX
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57XEWkrfVO
"Hey, Lisa."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV3j9KbaEA
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrb0GoPyE2
"I am."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGL1RX9Jqs
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX4oLqbXch
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAWpp1eQcr
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNG5o5EyGz
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjBmZRz8AE
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIANsAWlVg
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF35Rss6nz
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnDAfPAoQZ
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOdmAITnGu
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem301rrJ5s
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iM5M8E2UI
They stopped in the middle of the woods.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n4yIlpHXD
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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1SEztfi7r
A wild dog, Lisa thought.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHguXRDqtLi
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXRMhgHzo0
She obeyed.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedhv8l4wlZ
"Come on, Prancer."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM20CRyvEVK
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs0fsW2vzV
"Are you okay, Cordy?"994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwXQT39Dls
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzp1xuAn37
"You're welcome."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczca3GQDjI
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkxOq23qbZ
"Let's head back," Lisa said.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYVkU1R7hm
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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz24dz8DXl
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.
