[Horses whinnying]

This is gonna be great. Yes!

The horses look so good.

I know.

Good luck today, guys!

Bring back some ribbons.

CaroleThanks, Desi.

Are you sure you don't wanna come

and watch the competition?

Yeah, we feel bad leaving you here.

VeronicaShe'll be fine--

she's got me, after all.

Mrs. RegNow, girls, have you got everything we need?

Stevie and LisaYep!

VeronicaNo Saddle Club girls hogging the arena--

This is going to be excellent, Desi.

Now, Max is going to be out

on the back boundary fixing the fences,

so that leaves Jack

and you guys in charge of Pine Hollow.

Quite a responsibility.

Nothing we can't handle, Mrs. Reg.

Uh, maybe I should postpone the fences

till tomorrow.

No, really. We'll be fine.

You go, Max.

Are you sure?

Yeah. It'll only be for a couple of hours.

What could go wrong?

MaxAnd I'll have my phone on me.

Exactly.

Then you need to make sure

that all the chores get completed.

The manure heap needs turning, remember?

Oh, I almost forgot--

Gus Treloar is coming past this afternoon

to check on Dutchess.

And we'll make sure Dutchess

is practically glimmering for him.

We'll be back before dark,

so if anything comes up,

you can get Jack to call Max,

or you can call me.

Will do.

Bye now.

Stevie and DesiBye!

VeronicaOK.

As some of you may be aware,

Mrs. Reg has left me in charge.

DesiActually, she left us in charge.

Right.

Well then, "we" intend to run Pine Hollow

like clockwork.

PhilWho cares?

It's only one day!

Furthermore,

I'm going to make some changes around here.

Starting with that donkey.

I want him out of the stables.

But he's meant to be near Dutchess.

That's the arrangement.

Well, I'm un-arranging it.

SimonI don't think that's wise.

You know what, Simon? I don't care what you think.

MelanieBut Mrs. Reg said--

VeronicaMrs. Reg isn't here.

DesiBe reasonable, Veronica.

Trouble isn't harming anybody.

But he makes the stables look...untidy.

I want him moved.

MelanieNo!

VeronicaThen others will attend to it.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Relax, Simon.

With me in charge...

DesiUs.

With Desi and I in charge,

everything's going to be perfect.

[Donkey brays]

[All laughing]

VeronicaCome on, Trouble. That's the way.

It's for the best, Dutchess.

You'll see.

Move it, Trouble!

[Trouble grunts, Dutchess whinnies]

[Whinnies]

[Brays]

VeronicaMove it, Trouble.

[Whinnies]

[Trouble braying]


[Nickering]

[Trouble braying]

This is no work for a... a horsewoman.

They'll pay.

[Gate clanks]

Ah, I smell like donkey!

[Trouble brays]

Since you were unable to help with Trouble,

I've rostered you on to turn the manure pile.

A dirty job but someone's got to do it.

Well, we were just about to have a snack.

I guess it'll just have to wait.

Now, make sure you're nice and thorough.

Desi, we're hungry.

I'm sure it won't hurt if you have a quick snack.

It's best if management has a united front, Desi.

But-- Best.

[Trouble braying]

[Grunts]

Why does she have to be so nasty?

I'm sure she takes lessons.

JessI can't wait until Mrs. Reg gets back.

MelanieMe neither.

JessWait...

Can you hear something?

No, nothing.

Melanie and JessOh, no!

JessHe's gone!

MelanieLet's check the stables.

[Braying]

[Horse whinnies]

[Trouble brays, horse whinnies]

[Horse whinnies]

[Horse whinnies]

This is the life, Garnet.

Not a Saddle Club girl in sight.

[Horse nickers gently]

Desi!

We are management, remember?

It just doesn't feel right,

leaving it all for Mel and Jess.

Surely you'd rather get Jellybean saddled up;

we'll have the whole arena to ourselves.

MelanieThis is bad.

Very bad.

We've got to find them.

MelanieVeronica!

JessWe've got a problem!

MelanieIt's Trouble!

Jess and MelanieHe's gone!

I don't see that as a problem.

Dutchess is gone, too.

How did that stupid donkey get out?

JessSomebody didn't close the gate properly.

I don't make mistakes like that.

Well, then that stupid donkey did it all by himself.

Desi, go round up the others. We've got to find Dutchess.

MelanieAnd Trouble.

VeronicaWe've got to make some flyers.

Go, go, go!

[Horse whinnying]

[Trouble grunts]

[Nickers]

[Grunts]

[Horse whinnies]

MelanieShould there be a reward?

Of course there should be a reward.

And you'll be paying it out of your own pockets as well.

[Key clacks]

I suggest you focus on what's important.

JessBut if we find Trouble,

Dutchess won't be far away.

They're best friends.

They're right, Veronica.

If we go looking for trouble,

that's what we'll get...

and I don't want any more trouble.

We've had too much trouble.

We'll look after it, Veronica.

[Snorted chuckle]

OK, we'll start searching along the flats

near the river.

SimonSure:

PhilWe're all saddled up.

We'll cover the bushland from the east boundary

to the state forest.

OK. Stay in touch.

Will do.

[Horses whinny]

JessHere are the flyers.

Great.

We'll go out on our ponies.

SimonNothing.

[Hooves clomp]

We're here.

[Trouble brays]

We'll go that way. Yeah.

JackPut them on windscreens, too.

SimonSure.

[Truck engine idles]


Don't suppose you've seen this horse?

Can't say I have.

JackShe took off this morning. There's a reward.

Reward, huh?

Must be a valuable horse.

Dutchess?

She's worth a mint.

She's a top racehorse.

I'll keep an eye out.

Jack and SimonThanks! Cheers!

JackI don't know if that was a good idea.

MelanieI just can't believe this is happening, Jess.

It's Veronica's fault.

What's Veronica's fault?

Melanie and JessNothing.

And what are you two doing all the way out here?

Looking for Trouble, I bet.

Yeah... you know us.

We'll, um...

leave you to it then.

Hmm...

[Paper rustles]

[Horse whinnies]

That's enough!

Come on, girl. Come on!

[Horse whinnies]

[Whinnies]

[Grunts]

[Nickers]

Ah...

Buddies, huh?

[Horse nickers]

[Trouble braying]

[Nickers]

[Whinnies]

[Door clanks]

Mick, it's Gerry.

I got a horse here you might be interested in.

Oh, yeah, class all the way.

Nah, you won't be disappointed.

[Trouble braying]

[Trouble braying and whining]

[Whined brays]

That was the Johnsons.

They haven't seen Dutchess either.

DesiSo much for everything running like clockwork.

We're not at fault, Desi.

Dutchess would still be safe and sound

if that donkey had been kept out of mischief.

Like in the stables?

That scruffy little mule

doesn't belong in the Pine Hollow stables.

You're the only person who's bothered by him.

Whose side are you on, Desi?

I don't take sides, Veronica.

You should know that by now.

GerryShe's a diamond, Mick.

Perfect form;

no injuries.

The truth is, the only reason I'm selling her

is my barn's full.

I need the room.

I don't know, Gerry.

Not the usual horse you bring me--

This one looks like it could run.

Oh, and how, Mick.

And how!

[Horse nickers]

[Ponies whinny]

[Ponies whinny]

That's Trouble!

MelanieYeah, it is!

[Braying]

[Pony whinnies]

[Brays]

Where's he off to?

He wants us to follow him.

Let's go!

[Pony whinnies]

[Bray]

[Knocking]

Hello there.

Mr. Treloar!

GusUh, is now a bad time?

No, no, not at all.

Come in.

Uh... Mrs. Reg around?

Ah...no. She's out.

At a one-day event.

I see. Max?

He's fixing the boundary fence.

Is there something I can help you with?

I just wanted to check in on Dutchess.

Well, I saw her just this morning,

and she looked fantastic.

Not causing too much trouble with her little pal?

[Half laughs] Of course not.

You know, I've never had much time for donkeys...

Ah, but Trouble's pretty special.

Yeah.


He's been great for Dutchess.

I don't know what's gonna happen

if we try to separate them.

[Chuckle]

Would you like to sit?

Ah...

Actually, I should get going.

Oh. Don't be silly.

I was just about to put the kettle on.

[Half laugh]

So...

Cup of tea?

[Relaxed sigh]

MelanieSo what is this place?

JessLooks like a stud farm,

or something.

[Horse whinnies in the distance]

[Grunts]

That's Dutchess!

We've got to do something.

[Gus exhales]

Well, that was a very nice cuppa, thanks.

DesiAh, so...

Tell me how you first became interested in horses.

Ah...well, ah... let's see...

Um...

VeronicaOK, I need an update. Have they found--

Mr. Treloar!

Hello.

Desi, why didn't you tell me we had visitors?

I was just about to... [Office phone rings]

Pine Hollow.

Veronica, it's me.

We've found Dutchess!

Is that right?

MelanieShe's at kind of a stud farm or something;

she's locked up... we think.

Hold the line, please.

Desi, that's Melanie.

She's found that expensive bridle

you've been looking for.

Wow, that's fantastic!

So how about you take the call outside

and I'll entertain Mr. Treloar?

Sure, sure.

Melanie? Where are you?

GusLook, I can see you're very busy

and I really should get going.

VeronicaAh, how about another cup of tea?

Ah, no. That one Desi gave me was enough, thanks.

If I can just have a look at Dutchess,

I'll get out of your hair.

Of course.

Dutchess receives the very best care.

In fact, we've all become quite attached to her.

I even bought her an imported mole-hair brush,

just to give her coat that extra shine.

Would you like to see it?

I...sure.

It's just in here.

It really does give her coat a magnificent gloss.

[Door rattles]

Wh-what's happening?

Ah...

Oh, no, it's the door.

Oh, what terrible timing. I'm so sorry, Mr. Treloar.

Uh, I'll just see if I can get it open.

Agh!

Let me out!

[Door rattles]

GusLet me out!

What's going on?

Uh, I was just about to show Mr. Treloar something

when the tack room door got stuck.

The same thing happened to me yesterday--

I should have mentioned it.

We'd better get one of the boys

to help open it.

What a great idea, Desi.

Uh, we'll be back as soon as we can, Mr. Treloar!

[Grunting]

[Door rattles]

We've covered the whole boundary.

No sign of Dutchess.

We know where she is.

Out along Dry Gully Road.

I hope they get here soon.

[Horse whinnies in the distance]

Jess and MelanieTrouble!

Not bad.

Ah, that's nothing.

She runs like the wind, this one.

What's your asking price?

Ooh...

That's a bit steep, Gerry.

She's worth every cent.

Let's see her do another lap.

[Hooves clomp]

[Horn beeps]

JessThey're in there!


[Braying]

[Stopwatch clicks]

[Braying]

[Horse whinnies]

[Stopwatch clicks]

That was an amazing run.

I'll take her!

JackHold on, Mick!

VeronicaThat horse isn't for sale.

MickWhat do you mean that horse isn't for sale? Jack?

You heard her.

[Horse whinnies]

Thanks for wasting my time.

GerryI know how this looks, but you've got the wrong idea.

I was gonna bring her back.

Honest.

Now, uh...

About that reward.

[Scoffs]

[Horse nickers]

[Nickering]

[Trouble braying]

[Nickers]

[Horse whinnies]

[Lock rattles]

VeronicaI'm so sorry about that, Mr. Treloar.

I've been trying to get Jack to attend to that door

for days. Right, Jack?

Yeah. I've just been a bit busy...

doing other things.

Now, can I please see my horse?

VeronicaOf course.

MaxHey, Gus, what's happening?

Oh, Max. I just dropped in to check up on Dutchess.

[Horse nickers]

Hm. That mole-hair brush must be doing the trick.

Hey, little fella.

Good to see you're keeping my Dutchess out of trouble.

All right, I'd better get going.

You make sure you get that tack room lock fixed, eh?

Tack room lock?

What's wrong with the tack room lock?

VeronicaUmm...

It just needs a bit of... grease.

Grease... yes.

Yeah...grease.

All right.

[Veronica sighs]

I can't believe we came first!

Me neither.

Mrs. RegSo, how was everything? Any problems?

VeronicaNo, none at all.

It was all smooth sailing.

Nothing to report?

You must have all been bored silly.

Uh, no, we managed to entertain ourselves.

Right, guys?

AllYeah. Sure. Right.

Right.

Does anybody have any luck?

CaroleAny luck with what?

DesiWith, ah...

[Horses whinny]

Winning their events.

[Horse nickers]

Wow, congratulations.

Yeah. Well done.

[Horse nickers]

Thanks, guys.

I know I've been a bit...

SimonBossy?

Power hungry?

Horrible?

Insensitive?

I was going to say unfair,

but...

Thanks for covering for me.

MelanieDon't worry, I'm sure we can find a way

for you to repay us.

Hmm, let me think...

JessMake sure you're thorough.

Why do you all have to watch?

We feel very close to you,

after what we've all been through.

What's going on?

I don't get it.

How did you talk her into turning manure?

CaroleYeah, she always wriggles her way out of it.

She said it was no trouble.
