It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRRdsXXXtq
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xpvbg5QAH
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLrWtU5MGP
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPwDueC5UT
She did a little bit, but it was too late.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ657bCoIJLZ
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRKO655hqK
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztXegEIVVN
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQwxr98Kcl
She ran to her and knelt beside her.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMK12pnGqJ
"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.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHGanW6PcW
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgezoWWLLum
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub5qkBe088
She did as she was told.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE9VG7yELC
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4h435KFen
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHIpgguPGS
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTFlRFwxnl
"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.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEhkg8QEMk
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCmlndOu5p
"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.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7Mm6OHRrF
"Hey, Lisa."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGGQozwqRZ
"Hey, Veronica."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ397JmNyP8U
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi535nq5E9M
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcWgdnjZnA
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqI0iTCrNL
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4wgNBn50Y
Just then, the doctor walked in.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1nJ5z9xPb
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsPShupKiw
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHHmc8u9Z7
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3HGAdTolN
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zPMg6sMuE
"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.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh6826sK3i
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LxzbQrF5R
She found her friends in the tack room.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPh1nbeyFp
They turned to her.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHilIqyZ8S
Carole spoke first.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmwLBAUpNJ
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJuGZZZN9y
"Ya," Stevie agreed.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6KUOF6TUn
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCYAMaT7Jh
"What!?" yelled her friends.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStcfYVsQcZ
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mhuJgeQp2
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg3x0fAK0N
"Well, she should," Stevie said.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFgKZ7iuLs
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgfAnNs0aV
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sUigUlBNq
"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.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJVmmqu1Dk
"Hey, Lisa."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOTyQ7gQg3
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWIf3G2RvH
"I am."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjndeCrF8P
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH0SB37S8s
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKELt6ugV5A
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf43T49P8lE
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzQ76Ze6Rd
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ndjxtlGmE
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXdL2e6KOW
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRF1EMenP3
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos6QFC4UW2
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAMNsBaeoT
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KYpT0oKqh
They stopped in the middle of the woods.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA0VxXd6GU
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.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeU4aNluBM
A wild dog, Lisa thought.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkm9DKY4mx
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs8yAkJRSY
She obeyed.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXHsQEhyUU
"Come on, Prancer."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwep6DXb3Gh
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqfsziA0uC
"Are you okay, Cordy?"955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1h6M6ymkC
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZssLQRwMW
"You're welcome."955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCljRmbZUb
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcTvkemHKO
"Let's head back," Lisa said.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiemWKCLOc
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.955Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNez6tDPFJ
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.
