It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkxnAI8dWP
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmJIQVCoDl
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NXuVR9WAT
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ADKgYoDc
She did a little bit, but it was too late.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn1eJo85Zx
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWgr9TqB8u
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbgo5axV36
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QaWrSvJUN
She ran to her and knelt beside her.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEQHX5BNt8
"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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdhHgAm3Zz
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LPcWQrZDq
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOGO7qaKPk
She did as she was told.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd7KNi7qlT
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h77DhIjWO
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBTrarkQ9Y
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdCLuctJfj
"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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymYjM1MXJZ
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHjzAA5IOw
"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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTxFWywgfT
"Hey, Lisa."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jOteVqV9v
"Hey, Veronica."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU4MibPHyZ
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rus4gh9QS
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWZbGKbxbA
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZCMcFpSgo
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqz0tFNXQE
Just then, the doctor walked in.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavI7GlwSXl
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZoWFEVZwk
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78rIyYkxlB
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRxGfBd3MN
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtGOGsRswL
"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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TXcWeAHCp
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvrUA5nEBs
She found her friends in the tack room.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jabp0pwaP
They turned to her.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb7332C4iS
Carole spoke first.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmJLc9LH62
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlYf6dV3Qd
"Ya," Stevie agreed.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYTiSuzayH
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQotJw11l8t
"What!?" yelled her friends.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun722W6jEL
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVZqblRK1M
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisAkvDuRmi
"Well, she should," Stevie said.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlljqLRE248
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ELMdwwmR
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvavDeV8Ap
"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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsVKUupd4w
"Hey, Lisa."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjja60NUPp2
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP3f3Wfq6p
"I am."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3p9RGU4Vr
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtWUdbBBZq
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHyn7NNCg9
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKRqAxnFe8
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9nwXit1vU
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA4XC4XlXf
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNTrLtG0m2
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzSVBgV14q
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQhbg5Atrn
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvY0fPYoV8
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU7BpFvGUX
They stopped in the middle of the woods.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPtEyqh9Bu
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6I0axIQQS
A wild dog, Lisa thought.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh4PefGm9I
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc7PJbj94f
She obeyed.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxFROQXMHD
"Come on, Prancer."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX93ua8f0V
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlXgtoyaCS
"Are you okay, Cordy?"960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6VxJj1ACt
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MBX2L9Vyb
"You're welcome."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHKWmDL6Tl
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ0sqrQcgl
"Let's head back," Lisa said.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfa3lb5rx8
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpZM2ZOJ6B
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.
