A/N: Whoa. Sorry, I forgot that Carole was spelled with an 'e'. I fixed it in Chapter 2 though!

'Okay emergency saddle club meeting!' called Stevie, once they were done cleaning Tigra.

'So where did Red go?' asked Carole, once they were all established in the hayloft.

'Well Tigra's coat was really muddy, so maybe he went on the trails' suggested Lisa.

'Yeah but Red knows Tigra hates the woods and gets really spooked.'

'Wait a sec. Didn't Max say something about Red being really upset?' said Stevie.

'Yeah, what was he even upset about?' queried Carole.

'I think Max figured something out that Red didn't want figured out…Max said something about a fire and Red's other horse. And we already know he stopped riding about, what? Three years ago?'

'Yeah but we really need to find Red. He could be out there hurt or something!' said Lisa worriedly.

'Okay. Let's go tack up!' said Stevie jumping up.

'Stevie…Max doesn't want us going out' protested Carole

'He didn't want us going out after Prancer, but we did anyway right?'

'Fine' said Lisa 'I'll go grab flashlights. Carole could you tack up Prancer for me?'

'Sure.'

:::::::::::::

'Mom. I really need to go out after Red. We don't even know where he is' Max ran a hand through his blond hair like he always did when he was upset.

Mrs. Reg nodded agreement, 'by the way where's the saddle club?'

'No. They didn't-I thought I told them to stay here' Max sighed.

Mrs. Reg gave him a look that clearly said what she thought.

'Alright mom, now I'm going out there.'

:::::::::::::

'Well it looks like Red cut across the pasture' Carole said as she crouched next to a set of hoofprints.

'How we do know these are Tigra's?' called out Stevie.

'These are really fresh and no horse has been in here for three months' replied Carole as she swung back on Starlight.

'Lisa you were right! He went into the woods. Let's go!' as the three girls cantered into the trails.

Max wasn't far behind them 'Stevie! Lisa! Carole! Red!' he shouted.

'Did you hear that?' asked Stevie.

'Yeah. It sounded like Max.'

'Max, we're over here!' yelled Lisa.

Max quickly cantered up to them 'girls what do you think you're doing?!'

'Ummm…looking for Red?' supplied Stevie nervously, Max looked really mad.

'Just stay close to me. If we find him I want all three of you to go back to Pine Hollow.'

All three girls nodded and got into a single file formation following Max.

They were about to turn around when Lisa suddenly stopped Prancer, almost causing Stevie to crash into her.

'Look! What's that?' she asked pointing her flashlight in the direction of what looked like a body.

Max was already running towards it as the three girls dismounted and looped their reins over bushes.

Max knelt and gently turned the body over. It was Red. He was so pale that Max almost didn't recognize him. Carole knelt down next to Max, pulling off her jacket and easing it under Red's head.

'Stevie, Lisa can you ride back to Pine Hollow?' asked Max as he worriedly checked for a pulse breathing a small sigh of relief when he found one.

'Carole, you've had first aid training?'

'Yes'

'Okay you'll stay here with me. Lisa when you get back to Pine Hollow call for an ambulance.'

Lisa nodded and quickly mounted Prancer as Stevie swung up onto Belle and the two girls quickly cantered off towards Pine Hollow.

Carole finished easing her jacket under Red's head as Max pulled out a gauze pad and held it against Red's head wound.

'It looks like he's got a concussion' Max said as Red's eyes fluttered open and he groaned.

'Max?' Red moaned softly and rolled onto his side vomiting onto the ground.

'Red sit up' Max said as he eased Red into a sitting position.

'Max, he's shivering really badly' Carole said worriedly.

Max pulled his own jacket off and wrapped it around his head-stablehand's shaking shoulders.

'Carole can you make sure he's responsive?' asked Max rubbing Red's shoulders trying to keep him warm.

Carole quickly picked up a flashlight and gently shone it in Red's eyes trying to get Red's eyes to follow the light.

'Max, his pupils are really dilated and he's pretty unresponsive' Carole said as Red's head started to droop. Max lightly slapped Red's cheek 'Stay awake'.

Please, please, please (with a cherry on top!) read and review! I don't think I'm going to continue this if I don't get reviews or follows in the next week or so.
