It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLjKMwLUjN
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcMYcneOjM
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9QvIZkpeA
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4h18OlpNc
She did a little bit, but it was too late.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw9R9HWwKj
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyRxCWTsIT
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR2yTIxeNR
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchEeuwTBSV
She ran to her and knelt beside her.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmz6hWjAgi
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWxzFwiXE
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHgsOKrvXm
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkPMQhTEYJ
She did as she was told.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxltCThJ0T
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgZ7vfda6t
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIDRPax8tz
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtLIACaJZY
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBK9hug8aO
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CvV5sksic
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl2tCmgrsO
"Hey, Lisa."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt29pfHY9Kc
"Hey, Veronica."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKFBVCFjAr
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZYkP8zmRA
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrerXsfCIG
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Dc2igYvg
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroB9K9NO31
Just then, the doctor walked in.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4obfWGyPpR
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWSfm3lBz9
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2QK08BWG0
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAZrvqjm7o
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPotk0XTcGT
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT99o6280p
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbRuiJdL2c
She found her friends in the tack room.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsGNiVQxJp
They turned to her.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8f2Kw2LtG
Carole spoke first.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpus3IDMiQ
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5jnnUtqm6
"Ya," Stevie agreed.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z9P4tRYOl
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXf0dDJynu
"What!?" yelled her friends.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9PL2UjdrS
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ykxA3lFvF
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF7UYthfs5
"Well, she should," Stevie said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCCSLkbF7M
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ssUY14TU
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVscw0K2ky
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAW6KOkaXe
"Hey, Lisa."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN0wo98MOF
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0lrlKoHcy
"I am."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGlSrPbbhn
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVM98lhaob
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWGkj8o8TM
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuew8leUM8U
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4YNcK1WyK
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zRHYBHtcf
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RPeumUfmB
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjUtemhb5K
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSZPMjSMdi
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXxkdIS5w7
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshI0qihuxR
They stopped in the middle of the woods.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLX9YP906l
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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8cjUHw96n
A wild dog, Lisa thought.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCplVjfbnZp
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsp9LTxLpr
She obeyed.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGc8sFQ54c
"Come on, Prancer."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY8ufeHU3z
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mwCtWvtqk
"Are you okay, Cordy?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ8Y3tbtvc
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKtah3V97s
"You're welcome."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5oekm98i5
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA2DxVv8a9
"Let's head back," Lisa said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0vYstsYzC
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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvRXAoeWPW
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.
