''The 3 Musketeers Meet''
By noon the next day, Cloudy was in shape again. Sam led Cloudy out to the indoor arena, shut the gate and turned around. On the seats she saw Mark and a girl sitting on the arena stands. Sam smiled, tied Cloudy up, and went up to the top level to meet Mark.
''Hey! This is my cousin, Jessica.'' Mark said.
''Jessica, this is Samantha Richards. I told you about her last night.''
''Hello,'' she said as her and Sam shook hands.
''Nice to meet you. I love your horse, what's her name?''
Jessica spoke with an acsent because she came from England.
''Oh, that's Cloudy. Would you like to ride her?'' Asked Sam.
''I sure would! Thank you so much, Samantha!''
Jessica said.
''Oh, you can just call me Sam for short. So how do you think your going to like Austrailia?'' Asked Sam. Jessica was going to move down to Austrailia this spring for about 2 years with her parents and then maybe come back to the U.S.A or England.
''Oh I don't know. I'm staying here for a couple years before moving there. We rented a house and I found a beautiful horse I want to buy. We have about 20 acres of land and I know my parents will want to get more horses. They've been hearing wonderful stories about your horse everywhere. In the newspapers, on tv and on the radio. Horseracing just sounds so much fun!!!'' Jessica said and then sat down on the bench in the tackroom to take a breath.
Sam smiled. She could tell that Mark, Jessica and her were going to have a long lasting friendship.

Finally, Jessica was upon Cloudy and cantering around the ring. When they got to the gate, Cloudy reared and galloped all around the arena. Jessica screamed while holding on to Cloudy's mane. Jessica's scream scared the filly even more and she took off around the arena again. Cloudy managed to buck Jessica off. Cloudy turned around, galloped toward the fence and jumped it. The grooms finally caught Cloudy after a few hours and then managed to take the frightened filly to her stall. By that time Jessica had her cast on and safely in a hospital.
''I'm so sorry about this. Just give me your phone number and then your parents will be here.'' The nurse said.
''Here's her phone number. I'm her cousin and she's only been here for 2 days, so i dont know where her parents are but i do know where mine are. So here's my home, my parents cell and Jessica's home.'' Mark gasped. ''Is she going to be alright?''
''Oh she's fine, Mark. Just fine. What she needs right now is her rest. She'll be alright.'' The nurse answered.
..........................................................................
After an hour or so, Jessica's parents were safely by Jessica's side in the Lexington hospital. Meanwhile Sam was pacing saying to her self ''It's all my fault. Cloudy's just a filly. I know Jessica can ride but Cloudy's just a filly.'' Cloudy was still fightened and everytime Cloudy would have her looked at or felt she would half rear in fright. So the grooms and Mr. Richards decided to look at her later when she settled down. ;D
