It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkSSkMzPfN
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq7bGZEjGK
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm2F9skjAK
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Sgc6KBSK
She did a little bit, but it was too late.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJWlrKhDOa
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqoCw5Mm3A
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQZWruoNT2
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FFL8JQW4R
She ran to her and knelt beside her.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunrAnOkK7Y
"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.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeK6AHUpHv
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJyOVMtsCN
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gE5Bd5jff
She did as she was told.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOisEHaP7p
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnTaHWXYJz
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBqlLlQcw3
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs2eAWw8if
"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.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCfdaFod2X
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttza2fdR7s
"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.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2nouBlvK6
"Hey, Lisa."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG5OKwJqIJ
"Hey, Veronica."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFuFBBvJGX
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzq2Uczq59
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8McZPZkHP
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b5IsP5ahe
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXYZ5iwIs2
Just then, the doctor walked in.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd91DwbY3h
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdaTXDsCKb
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMLBDY3LjR
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW6f4Uf7z6
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IsCw5vKtR
"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.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdefZA5UTE
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHS60gcBp4
She found her friends in the tack room.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVJtttofG9
They turned to her.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ856bn47Dhp
Carole spoke first.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC9VM4vA7j
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QN43Y8SV3
"Ya," Stevie agreed.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BsFZOb4L4
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqiBx01PI
"What!?" yelled her friends.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYdr0NH8d
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuHOQTjLVX
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ574MIabHKD
"Well, she should," Stevie said.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIWLtj35tW
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YG8LwQ8fK
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNROjuQAJXL
"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.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAkGdbSDXy
"Hey, Lisa."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0mfoxl8Lw
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGyB3OUxkC
"I am."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaApVHz2hR
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60XLfaR26v
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gSSEH9utW
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaHQhEwofF
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFx8pYmnv5
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzWkgrJmuc
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYoxbCbweS
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D8He4eV2P
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vf9iXZTh2
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOZrGcjt2e
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FDgKxL6SJ
They stopped in the middle of the woods.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv5sWkOM4I
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.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUco5bYONjr
A wild dog, Lisa thought.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjToxdmAsQ
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M43w2me4a
She obeyed.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg1KWSdu00
"Come on, Prancer."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqPA6Nibru
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1M3rADqeS
"Are you okay, Cordy?"908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr7ViQZbAr
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspIyWW4IL1
"You're welcome."908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpr02wkEtU
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot1VJKNTqv
"Let's head back," Lisa said.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUexa0wvGf
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.908Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBipI3a9Jsi
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.
