[Horse neighs]

CaroleShe's beautiful, Desi.

What are you going to call her?

I haven't made up my mind yet.

VeronicaDesi, yes, we have.

Her name will be Adagio.

What about...

Blaze?

StevieYeah.

Or Sunbeam?

That's nice.

Her name is Adagio.

Isn't it, Desi?

Uh, maybe.

What about Jellybean?

Don't be ridiculous.

Jellybean... that's cute.

VeronicaCute?

A horse's name needs to be elegant,

like Adagio.

She looks like a Jellybean.

CaroleYeah, she does.

Well, let's see if she likes it.

Jellybean!

[Horse neighs]

Jellybean!

[Horse neighs]

Jellybean.

Hello there.

What a good girl.

You like that name,

don't you, Jellybean?

Well, I don't.

Lucky it's not your horse, then, isn't it?

Desi is my friend, and it's her horse,

so her name will be Adagio.

It's not your choice. Right, Desi?

Jellybean has decided...

and she chose Jellybean.

[Horse neighs]

Gee, Veronica didn't like Desi agreeing with us.

She'll get over it.

Will she?

No, you're right. She won't.

My mom baked some cookies.

Want to try one?

I'm starving.

Not too many sweets.

If you're really hungry, eat something healthy,

like an apple.

Yes, mother.

Or we could just pig out on these.

CaroleI'm in!

Oh! Don't you eat all of those!

I told you.

I'm hungry, too.

[Stevie and Carole laugh]

Carole, this arrived for you in the mail.

Really?

It's from my dad!

Open it!

What is it?

StevieA magic carpet?

A horse blanket!

An ethnic one.

I love the tassels.

Where's it from?

Afghanistan.

I love it!

Adagio.

Yeah.

You know what your right name is, don't you?

[Donkey brays]

[Laughter]

Ah-choo!

[Horse neighs]

Are you OK?

Sounded like an expl*si*n in here.

I think I'm coming down with something.

[Sniffs]

Well, Mrs. Reg wants us out there now.

Do you want a hand?

Ah-choo!

[Applause]

Mrs. RegDesi here has managed to get herself

a fine new horse,

but it's an unknown quantity.

So what's the first thing we should be doing?

Find out how obedient it is.

Good, Carole.


See if it's has any bad habits.

Exactly.

Practice the emergency dismount.

Mrs. RegWell, that's taking

a very fairly pessimistic view of things,

but Veronica has made a good point.

So let's review the emergency dismount.

Desi?

Kick your feet out of the stirrups.

Drop the reins, then lean forward,

grab the neck in a big hug,

and then slide off.

VeronicaAs soon as you're on the ground, step back.

Then go and catch your horse.

[Laughter]

Ah-choo!

[Jellybean neighs]

Mrs. Reg!

She's trying to roll!

Emergency dismount!

Looks like you got yourself a roller, Desi.

She rolled once.

That doesn't make her a roller.

Jellybean's a roller.

Be quiet, you guys.

You don't know anything.

Ah-choo!

I think you're getting worse.

Runny nose, itchy eyes,

and I'm not just sneezing,

I'm coughing, too.

I hope you don't have a fever.

Carole, you look terrible.

Thanks.

I don't feel that bad,

except for the sneezing, the coughing,

the itchy eyes.

I feel fine.

Well, maybe you should be in bed.

Chicken soup... that's what you need.

Really?

Hey, I'll make some.

Lisa, I'm fine.

I'll make you a big pot tonight.

VeronicaI know what to do. You don't need to worry.

DesiI'm not worried.

VeronicaRolling can be a serious problem.

What if it happens during a competition?

DesiNow I'm worried.

VeronicaDon't be.

I've known rollers, and I can help you fix Adagio.

You mean Jellybean.

Whatever.

I've got a way of getting through to difficult horses.

Really? Absolutely.

SimonJack?

Have you got any tips on a horse that rolls?

Yeah. Sometimes all they need is a really good wash

with a special shampoo.

Can we borrow some?

Sure. Why not?

Shampoo won't be enough for this problem.

But it's worth a try.

You'll be wasting your time. Trust me.

Let's give it a go.

I don't think so.

I'll help you.

You're on.

JackCome on, then.

That should do it.

There's not a spot of dust

on this horse anywhere.

I hope it's done the trick.

VeronicaThere's only one way to find out.

Let's take her out for a hack.

Great idea.

Want to come, Simon?

Sure.

Uh, I'm sure we can manage by ourselves.

No, Simon says maybe part of the problem

is that Jellybean isn't used

to being near other horses.

Simon says?

Well, in that case, we must do it.

Since he's been around horses for, what?

minutes?

Let's tack up.

VeronicaI'm telling you,

Adagio will be as bad as ever.

StevieI told her to go and lie down.

LisaIt's like she's getting worse by the moment.

I hope it's just a cold.

She's completely stuffed up.

Plus, she's scratching.

It's something more.

Like what?

Pneumonia? Bronchitis?

Maybe it's an allergy.

An allergy.

Yeah, you could be right.


She's doing really well, isn't she?

Thanks for helping me bathe her, Simon.

Pity you've wasted your time.

Desi, pull her head up!

What? Oh, no!

Emergency dismount, Desi!

Drop your stirrups!

She is a roller.

Is this enough?

Yeah.

You're supposed to be lying down.

I wanted to help you guys.

Ah-choo!

Lisa and I have been talking about what it could be.

Maybe I caught a chill when we got wet in the thunderstorm.

That was ages ago.

I don't know what it is, then.

Maybe it's an allergy.

An allergy? To what?

Well, when does it happen?

I'm best at night.

I don't sneeze, my nose doesn't run,

my eyes are fine, and I'm not itchy.

So things go downhill when you're here?

Pretty much.

Well, then you must be allergic

to something in the stables.

Chaff?

Well, it's not that.

Hay?

No.

Ah-choo!

LisaCould you be...

What?

No, it's too-- it can't be right.

What?

Could you be allergic to horses?

No!

Of course not! Don't be silly!

Ah-choo!

DesiI was really starting to like her.

VeronicaOf course.

Adag--I--I mean Jellybean

is a sweet, loyal, and non-rolling horse.

She does an awful lot of rolling for a non-roller.

You're just misjudging her.

People do thatthey misjudge people and horses.

Do you really think so, Veronica?

Sometimes people misjudge me.

They don't see me for the true friend that I am.

And Jellybean is a good horse.

DesiSo what do I do?

VeronicaWell, if you trust me,

I guarantee to make your horse % reliable.

You really are a good friend.

I like to think I am.

Ah-choo!

Just look at me, Starlight.

Whenever I get close to you, I'm a total mess.

It's just not fair.

Carole...

Look at me.

I'm sick during the day at Pine Hollow,

fine at night in bed.

You're rightI am allergic to horses.

LisaOh, Carole, I'm so sorry.

We'll do anything to help.

No matter what.

Yeah, I bet there's a treatment.

I just want it to go away.

I can't give up riding. I just can't.

We mustn't let anybody know about this.

Promise?

We promise.

But--

Yeah.

We promise.

Did you find anything?

SimonIt says here...

that dirty tack can be the problem.

That makes sense.

Clean all tack with a germicidal soap.

VeronicaThat won't do it.

How can you be so sure?

When are you going to start trusting me, Desi?

So what's your solution?

That's my secret.

All you've got to do is stop relying on amateurs

and just ask me,

and your problem's solved.

DesiOK, Veronica.

I trust you.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Hey.

SimonI need some advice.

Go for it.

It's just that, um...

I'm not sure,

but I think Veronica is up to something.

That sounds right.


Really?

She's always up to something.

I'm kind of busy looking after Midnight.

Um, could you guys keep an eye on Veronica?

Find out what's going on?

We could do that...

for a fee.

A fee?

Trouble's got to eat.

Ah-choo!

Carole, I've been thinking about your allergy.

I don't want to talk about it.

You need to tell Mrs. Reg, and see a doctor.

Maybe there's a cure.

Yeah, staying away from horses.

You don't know that for certain.

If I tell Mrs. Reg, she'll make me stop riding.

There'll be tests.

Blah, blah, blah.

"Take these tablets, take those tablets,

but most of all, avoid horses."

So I'm never going to tell her.

But what if it gets out of--

No "buts."

Melanie and Jess, , ...

♪ There's this girl called Veronica ♪

♪ She's mean as can be

♪ Simon thinks that something's up ♪

♪ Simon has us to tell what is wrong ♪

[Jess and Melanie beatboxing]

Wait. Hold up a sec.

Where's Trouble gone?! Where's Trouble gone?!

VeronicaScram! Shoo!

Shoo!

[Object clatters]

Scram, you nasty little creature.

Mrs. Reg. Don't look down!

Right, Carole, your turn.

Remember, concentrate on the distances.

That's the priority.

Let Starlight know how many strides to take

in between the jumps and when to take off.

She can't see.

She can't judge the jumps.

Her eyes are too runny.

[Starlight neighs]

[Girls gasp]

[Starlight neighs]

Mrs. RegYou all right?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Let me try that again.

We need to talk about this.

Keep your voice down.

It's affecting your riding.

Those were hard combinations.

I noticed you didn't get over them clean.

But I didn't fall off.

And I'm not half the rider you are.

Your problem is making riding dangerous.

People fall off all the time.

You need to see the doctor.

You're not my mom!

Guys, calm down.

I'm really worried.

This is serious.

You have to tell Mrs. Reg.

For the last time, no!

It's the right thing to do.

Lisa, don't!

Don't what?

Mrs. Reg, if you make a promise to a friend,

you should keep it, right?

But not if safety's involved.

You could destroy the friendship

and really hurt the friend.

But the secret could hurt the friend more!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Come on, girls, what's going on?

Secrets and safety definitely don't go together.

MelanieSomehow he sniffed out Veronica.

SimonYeah, what did you see?

JessWe would've totally missed her if it wasn't for Trouble.

SimonSo, what didn't you miss?

MelanieMaybe we could hire him out as like, you know, like a bloodhound."], index,…}

JessOh, yeah... to follow the bad guys.

Yeah, yeah, and find out what?

MelanieAnd the bad guys would never suspect...

JessBecause they'd be so worried about a police dog...

MelanieWhen all along it's a police donkey on their trail.

What did you find out?!

We're coming to that.

Gee, You need to relax, Simon.

[Sighs]

[Door slams]

CaroleDo you know what you've done?!

It's for the best.

She's taking me to the doctor, today!

It's dangerous to ride when you can't see! You'll get hurt!

If I can't ride anymore, that'll hurt more!


Carole...

How could you do this?

You've ruined my life. I've got nothing left.

We've got plenty of things!

I'm never talking to you again.

StevieCarole!

Lisa did it for you!

You've got to choose, Stevie.

What do you mean?

You can't be friends with both of us.

This is silly.

Me, or Little Miss Big Mouth?

She needs me more than you do.

She's got no one.

Carole, wait!

Here she comes.

OK, let's take Jellybean for a run.

I guarantee she won't roll.

Are they going to the doctor?

Mrs. Reg told me what happened.

You did the right thing.

DesiWhen she canters,

it's like riding a rocking horse.

Her gait is so smooth.

SimonWell, you look great on her.

She hasn't put her head down once.

Like I said, my work is guaranteed.

Oh, no!

No, don't roll!

Don't roll!

SimonShe's not going to roll.

She's just hungry.

She's just getting something to eat.

Phew, you're right.

If anyone's going to roll, it's Garnet.

What? No!

DesiKick your feet out of your stirrups, Veronica!

Emergency dismount!

SimonPush away!

Aah!

I'm soaked!

So now Garnet's started to roll.

What's going on?

Ah, here's the culprit.

Garnet's got grass seeds under her saddle.

How did that get there?!

Bit of a mystery.

[Huffs]

CaroleI do have an allergy.

You were right, Lisa.

I'm sorry.

It's to camels!

Camels?

There are no camels at Pine Hollow.

The horse blanket my dad sent,

it's made from camel hair.

So I can keep riding

as long as I stay away from the blanket.

That's great news.

I'm sorry for what I said.

I was really upset.

Forget it.

I'm just so happy for you.

I brought you these.

Not daisies!

Ah-choo!

I'm allergic to daisies!

I--I'm sorry. I didn't know.

[Laughter]

So if it's grass seeds

that are the problem,

how did they go from one horse to the other?

Maybe they jumped.

Fleas jump, Veronica.

I don't think grass seeds do.

Unless they're the famous South American jumping seeds.

You've heard of them, Veronica?

I'm not an expert on everything.

Now, do you mind? I'm trying to read.
