[Horse neighs]

CaroleNice jump, Lisa.

Thanks.

I could do this all day!

Me, too.

Sorry to be boring, guys,

but we'd better get back and--

LisaJust more minutes?

StevieCarole's right, Lisa.

If we're going to pass the exams,

we really need to--

LisaYou guys go ahead.

I'll catch up.

[Sighs]

I'll be back by :, I promise.

Don't be late, Lisa.

You won't pass the exams if you don't...

study.

Mm-hmm.

Good girl, Prancer.

I suppose we'd better get back, huh?

[Neighs]

[Horse neighs in distance]

Carole?

Stevie? Is that you?

[Prancer snorts]

[Horse neighs in distance]

[Horse neighs in distance]

Hello?!

Hello!

Whoa...

[Horse neighs]

LisaDiablo!

[Diablo neighs]

Here, boy...

Easy, boy...

You remember me...

[Neighs]

Don't you, boy?

Diablo, wait!

[Horses neigh]

Mrs. RegDesi, Simon...

this is Lily.

She's going for her grade tomorrow

and needs to brush up.

Hi, Lily.

Welcome aboard.

Give her lots of encouragement.

She's very shy.

Lovely horse, Lily.

Beautiful fetlocks.

What?

I can't believe she stood us up.

Maybe we should start without her.

OK. I'll quiz you and then we'll switch?

All right.

What is the common name of the metacarpus?

[Inhale] The cannon.

Right!

LisaGuys! Guess what!

CaroleUmm...you're late?

It's Diablo... he's back!

Diablo! Really?

Are you sure it's him?

Positive!

There are plenty of wild horses out there.

It was him!

So how is he?

He's as beautiful as ever.

CaroleGuys, focus!

We have to get on with this study.

Right.

[Horse neighs]

[Horse neighs]

DesiShe's never gonna pass.

Poor thing.

I know how she feels.

[Horse neighs]

SimonWay to go, Lily!

LilyThanks.

[Horse neighs]

[Horse neighs]

SimonWow...shiny.

VeronicaIt's a hair enhancer.

Daddy bought it back from Paris.

Smells like apples.

VeronicaIt's handmade from organic apple pulp

with secret ingredients.

Only bottles are produced every year,


and I've got one of them.

[Horse neighs]

OK, people.

Hack o'clock is over.

If you could clear the arena, I need to work Garnet.

We'll be at least another hour, Veronica.

Lily needs all the practice she can get.

I can see that.

[Horse neighs]

SimonYou'll just have to wait.

Her riding test is tomorrow.

Well, you'd better hope for a miracle.

[Horse neighs]

This'll make it easier to remember.

Brachiocephalic muscle...

Pastern and fetlock. Easy.

Lisa, focus!

StevieThose are the easiest of the lot.

I can't concentrate.

Not when I know Diablo's out there.

OK. Well, what if we go and look for him now...

That's a great idea--

But only if you promise to concentrate later.

And promise to do the exams no matter what.

I promise! I promise! I promise! I promise!

OK.

LisaMaybe we should just spread out.

What do you think?

Good idea.

I hope the exams are all multiple choice.

I'm good at those.

Really?

I always seem to get tricked into the wrong answer.

[Trouble brays]

Stop that, Trouble!

I could show you my method. It's foolproof.

That'd be awesome.

MelanieOww!

What happened?

He bit me!

Why?

MelanieFor attention, of course.

[Grunts]

[Horse neighs]

[Horse neighs]

LisaAnything?

StevieNo.

CaroleWe've been looking for hours, Lisa.

He's out there.

I can feel it.

Maybe it wasn't Diablo.

Maybe you just really wanted it to be.

Yeah. Anything to get out of studying.

The sooner I find him,

the sooner I'll be able to concentrate.

CaroleIt'll be dark soon.

We should probably head back.

Look, if you want to go, just go!

I can find him on my own!

Go on!

Go!

VeronicaQuite frankly, I think it's unfair.

Mrs. RegLily has every right to be in that arena

as any other rider, including you.

VeronicaBut she's been riding for hours.

Mrs. RegYou know the rules.

First in, best dressed-- and Lily was first in.

VeronicaIt's such a waste of time!

She needs proper instruction.

She's never gonna learn a correct trot

by hacking around the arena with Simon.

Veronica, sometimes you surprise me.

Sorry?

If you wanted to instruct Lily,

why didn't you just let me know?

You're going to have to demonstrate

your proficiency as an instructor at some stage.

So why not now?

I don't think that's...

Mrs. RegThat settles it!

You will be instructing Lily.

[Trouble brays]

What's the matter, Trouble?

He thinks we're ignoring him.

[Trouble brays]

He agrees with that.

Have you seen the dressage book?

It was just there.

Well, it can't have vanished.

[Trouble brays]

JessTrouble's standing on it.

How'd he get it over there?

He must have dragged it.

Why?

JessNo idea.

[Trouble brays]

Move, Trouble.

Give us a hand, Mel.

Get off it, Trouble.

MelanieIs he smiling?


JessHe is!

That's because we're paying him attention.

You're right.

[Trouble brays]

[Trouble brays]

Up down, up down...

no, no...

Wrong diagonal.

No! Feel the rhythm.

Do you know what rhythm is?

Agh...

OK, Lily...

Lily, bring your horse to a stop.

Hold posture.

Now dismount...

and walk your horse over to the gate.

Excellent.

Open it.

And keep on walking.

And go back to where you came from.

Why are you being so mean to her?

I'm not being mean, I'm being honest.

She's hopeless and she's wasting my time.

Bye-bye.

If she fails her test tomorrow,

it's your fault.

My fault? That she can't ride?!

Your fault you can't teach.

You can't teach talent.

You either have it or you don't.

And she sure don't.

SimonTalent, eh?

You can't even teach someone to pass grade .

You're afraid you're not up to it.

As if.

And you know that if she doesn't pass tomorrow,

she'll be back here day after day,

week after week, until she does.

OK, stop sulking and get back here.

[Horse neighs]

[Horse neighs in distance]

Diablo!

I knew you'd find me!

Good boy!

LisaI told you I wasn't just imagining it.

Carole and StevieWow...

CaroleHe's so beautiful.

We're really sorry, Lisa.

Yeah, we should have believed you.

I'm just so glad he came back.

[Diablo snorts]

GirlsOhhhhh.

VeronicaLeft leg behind the girth,

head up, heels down.

[Horse neighs]

SimonShe's doing better today.

VeronicaOK, Lily...

rise...

rise...

rise, rise.

[Horse neighs]

You're not even trying.

Well...are you?

Haven't you got anything to say for yourself?

[Horse neighs]

Show some spirit.

Otherwise you're never going to learn how to ride properly.

Do you want to pass the test?

Yes!

VeronicaTrot on!

Use your leg muscles!

Squeeze!

Rise...rise...

Simon[Ahem]

Umm...Veronica?

Do you think you could be a bit more...gentle?

Some people respond better when you're, you know...

nice.

If Lily wants even the smallest chance of passing the test,

this is what she needs.

So what you're saying is...

Get lost.

You're doing great, Lily!

Don't listen to him.

Pain is your friend, Lily.

Embrace it.

And rise...rise...rise...

[Snorting]

Belle!

[Belle snorts]

StevieBelle!

Belle!

Belle! What's wrong?

What's wrong? What's wrong?

[Lily sobbing]

You all right, Lily?

Yeah. Fine. Thanks.

Pretty painful, all that stuff on a horse.

It's not that. [Sobs]

Veronica's right...


I'm hopeless.

You're not hopeless.

If you saw me ride, now that's hopeless.

I've--I've failed grade twice already.

Only twice?

I haven't even been brave enough to go for it.

Really?

Really.

I've seen you ride.

You can do it.

You just need to believe in yourself.

Prove Veronica wrong.

Here you are. What are you doing?

SimonShe's getting a drink.

She had time to do that before practice began.

Back on the horse.

StevieI just found her like this.

I don't get it.

She was fine when I rode her early this morning.

VetHeart rate's , temp's ,

both a bit high.

Is it serious?

VetToo soon to say, I'm afraid.

But she could have a virus.

Has she been in contact with any strange horses lately?

No, she hasn't been off Pine Hollow.

Any new horses in the stables?

No, not recently.

It's best we take some blood, just to be sure.

[Horse neighs]

[Inhale] Diablo!

LisaHe didn't seem sick.

VetStill, we'd better test him.

If it is the flu, he really needs to be isolated.

LisaOh, no!

CaroleHe must have jumped the fence.

[Belle neighs softly]

She's even sicker!

This shouldn't have happened!

If you hadn't brought Diablo to Pine Hollow,

she'd be fine!

Settle down.

We don't even know what we're dealing with here.

Go on.

CaroleShe wasn't really mad at you.

She was just worried about Belle.

I feel the same way about Diablo.

I love him just as much as Stevie loves Belle,

and now he's out there...

all alone.

Lisa, wait...

Don't try and stop me, Carole.

If he really is sick, he needs treatment.

I'll come with you.

But you have to do the exam first.

I can't.

Lisa, you promised!

Mrs. RegYou've got one hour.

Any questions before we start?

Off you go, then.

LisaI love him just as much as Stevie loves Belle,

and now he's out there, all alone.

StevieThis shouldn't have happened.

If you hadn't brought Diablo to Pine Hollow,

she'd be fine!

MaxOK. Lily, you're testing next.

Mount up, please.

LilyWhere's Veronica?

In the lounge. She's doing her exam.

I need her.

You'll be fine.

No, I'm bad at the rising trot.

Got any tips?

I'm bad at that, too.

Lily!

Mount up.

[Sighs]

That was quick.

It's baby stuff.

[Trouble brays]

Psst. Jess!

[Trouble brays]

[Trouble brays]

MelanieTrouble!

Mrs. RegWhat on earth?!

[Class giggles]

Mrs. RegEveryone stay calm,

keep your seats.

Melanie? Jess?

MelanieHe'll do anything for attention.

[Trouble brays]

MaxLily, you have to start.

[Horse neighs]

MaxLily...

SimonGo on, Lily, you can do it.

MaxOK, Lily...

minute circle sitting trot.

[Horse neighs]

Believe in yourself.

[Horse neighs]


OK. Rising trot, thank you.

It's OK, Lily. Like we practiced.

Left leg behind the girth.

Head up!

Heels down!

Go!

And rise...rise...rise.

Veronica and SimonYes! [Cheer]

Go Lily!

[Sigh]

[Trouble brays]

Mrs. RegHalf an hour to go, girls.

[Trouble brays]

Mrs. RegStay exactly where you are.

[Horse snorts]

[Horse neighs in distance]

[Horse neighs]

MaxCongratulations, Phoebe.

Congratulations, Lily.

Thank you, Max.

I did it! I did it!

Crowd[Cheers]

I couldn't have done it without you.

Ahem!

Or you.

You're a wonderful teacher, Veronica.

I know. I'm just glad you passed.

I knew you could do it.

SimonI don't approve of your methods but...

you did good.

No pain, no gain.

[Horse neighs]

LisaHow's Belle?

CaroleAny luck with Diablo?

No.

It's like he's vanished into thin air.

Why do you even care about that horse?

Just look at what he's done to Belle!

You don't know it was Diablo for sure.

I'm...sorry...

but...

I...

I think Belle's dying. [Sobs]

[Sobbing]

StevieNext time on "The Saddle Club"...

LisaIt's really simple.

I'd never do anything to hurt Diablo,

so I hope you never find him, ever!

StevieLook at Belle.

How about doing something to help her?

VeronicaThe only thing that's difficult here is--

I'll do it.

I'll help you find Diablo.

He's close now.

JackHow do you know?

LisaLook out!
