It was a beautiful day. Veronica was practicing jumping with Cobalt. The Saddle Club girls were watching.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntEiP4Sm69
Suddenly, Cobalt was almost to a gallop.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0GaQVY03N
"What's she doing?" asked Stevie Lake936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzslp2M1Gz
"Veronica, pull in!" Carole Hansen told her.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ODL269XtK
She did a little bit, but it was too late.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENyVT13s4Z
He tried to jump and fell with Veronica still on him.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBt1GfoX8y
Carole ran to get Max, while Lisa Atwood went to Veronica and Stevie went to Cobalt.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHcoRSX7i8
"Veronica!" she yelled in horror, seeing her fall hard and roll.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHzS7kS8qw
She ran to her and knelt beside her.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxXLHvufT1
"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.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPqSpyaB3Z
"Cobalt has a broken leg," reported Stevie.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevHDjcMejE
"Stevie, get an ambulance!" she said.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJvOQxn8Th
She did as she was told.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnVf42OzTe
A few minutes later, Stevie was back and Max and Carole were coming now.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S8x7iNJua
Several minutes later, the ambulance was there and Veronica was rushed to the hospital.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqxwCguWD1
Dr. Judy the vet soon arrived.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqmTlZzEaK
"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.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAM5PyNmD0
She sat by her in a chair and started talking. By now, Veronica was in a light coma.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscnJuZdvA3
"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.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMrHpiYA2v
"Hey, Lisa."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJdKWrQJ6D
"Hey, Veronica."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fsR7HI2qa
"Would you really get me into the Saddle Club?"936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbxLllDuTl
"Ya. And if you would like, I could help you be nicer."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjTLULl2M7
"Thank, Lisa. When can I get out of here? I want to see Cobalt."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotaV3IV4gi
"I know you do. The doctor will be here soon to let you go."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKbwwl53pf
Just then, the doctor walked in.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkpsLp7D3P
"Are you ready to go home?" she asked.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGD75IDQkk
"Ya. I would be grateful to go home."
An hour later, they were walking toward the horse stalls.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsypGB0YmY
They stopped at Cobalt's stall.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9oQguxX7n
They walked into his stall and Veronica hugged him.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGmbPnpxfg
"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.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPjU0Znh5p
Lisa left the stall to leave the two of them alone.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhV6MIVyU2
She found her friends in the tack room.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhf4y3YFj1
They turned to her.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNh4UJQBVf
Carole spoke first.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nPuYoXK68
"Why is she with Cobalt? She's the one that hurt him."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmGn1VnNI6
"Ya," Stevie agreed.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XGPUjfc1S
"Guys, I have to tell you something. Veronica feels terrible about what she did. I let her spend time with him."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7shlI0H2p
"What!?" yelled her friends.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe80YtJhlM
"How could you!?" Carole yelled.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2E6lMEl1Q
"Guys, I know it's Veronica, but after what happened, she feels horrible."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwT5Unv8mr
"Well, she should," Stevie said.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7804NDauWV
"I think she wants to change. And isn't that what we do? Help people?" Lisa continued.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgjfgPTfAr
"Ya, but not her," Carole retorted.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t06rhlDuz
"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.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEgjoph332
"Hey, Lisa."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNNTYJshYg
"Hey, Veronica. Are you ready?"936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLqwlmT5NJ
"I am."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ95DWUtKd
They went to Prancer's stall and tacked her up.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9NflsYwWP
Next, Lisa and Veronica mounted her and Veronica handled her, while Lisa rode behind Veronica.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITBCiFAERW
As they rode on the trail, Lisa instructed her on what to do.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwvU1wdgi
When it was almost dark, Lisa said, "Let's head back home."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N2bVYx8Er
Veronica turned Prancer around and then headed back to Pinehollow.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj6rr4pmBh
Suddenly, Prancer went the other way.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe38orLSIPv
"Where's she going?" asked Veronica.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ639iq8s4f
"If she's going in a different direction, someone's in danger," Lisa explained.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ExJCyXhlx
"I didn't know that. I guess now I know."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjURi0UHeVF
"Ya. You do," Lisa agreed.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33IWQOzFEo
They stopped in the middle of the woods.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolMzljoCI8
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.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnP8FStd9c
A wild dog, Lisa thought.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57SNHdRTcR
"Veronica, dismount and let me help her."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm83ZUxt213
She obeyed.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwRmRdNLg5
"Come on, Prancer."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROgVMQ0Z1E
She galloped over by Lightning, grabbed a part of his halter and led him away.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBo3WcGaBm
"Are you okay, Cordy?"936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs3Ofhlvti
"I am. Thanks, Lisa."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyfthRBrw0
"You're welcome."936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHgFpwieuT
"See you later," Cordy said, and then galloped away on Lightning.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z4tr3b5Wj
"Let's head back," Lisa said.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfZknhiFnC
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.936Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d2rgFF1er
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.
