Milly: I saw Miley come up and kneel beside us. "He passed out. I'm so afraid, that I don't know what to do. I can't think." I said sniffing.

Mary Anne: Piper made the jump, landing evenly on the other side! My celebration was momentary, though, an I heard Warrior land the jump, then a thump and a groan- Jacky was hurt! I turned Piper sharply back, but dismounted immedately so we wouldn't run the risk of stepping on him. Miley and Milly were kneeling over Jacky, and Milly was crying. I walked over quickly and knealt down on the other side. "What hurts?" I asked, trying not to let the panic come into my voice.

Jacky: I groaned as I came out of the darkness of my pain. I heard someone ask where I hurt and I pointed to my left arm. I tried to sit up but the muslce in my leg told me not to. I looked down to see blood seep into my jeans. My leg was bleeding. I watched as Milly paled and passed out. "Forget me. Take care of her." I told them shoving away any one's help.
Milly: I saw blood and paled. I could feel the black coming in. I'd always passed out at the sight of blood. I shook my head tyring to shake it off but it didn't work I slowly went back passing out cold.

Arin: lagging behind with the greenbroke Blazing Phoenix, we had to stop, back up, and try the jump again. by the time we did land, gracefully, i could tell something was wrong. and then, i saw Jackson fall off of Warrior, on to Milly! who passed out cold! a hemophobe, obviously. the sight of Jacky's bleeding leg would have made me puke years ago, but, now, i was used to it. Irish Dancing is a surprisingly dangerous sport. dangerous... like my middle name. for my fellow company dancers, i had fixed up scores of makeshift bandages, wraps, and, once, my masterpiece, a sling made using only a wignet, a poodle sock, and sock glue. i was prepared.
i had thought the injury was over for this week, with Blackthorne's fall, but i was wrong! what would we do? but there wasn't time to think- Jacky was losing blood, and fast! "i'll send Phoenix back! Katie will know something's wrong when he comes home riderless!" after i untied my saddle bags, i gave the young mustang a slap on the rump, and he cantered back towards the stables. i got an emergency blanket out of on bag. "someone hold this down as a compress over Jack's leg until the bleeding stops. a torniquet would cut off the bloodflow to his whole leg, but this will just make it stop here." i threw it to Miley, hoping she would do it. now, a sling... i had a first aid kit with bandages, but nothing sling-like. fortunately, i did have a water bottle. with ice. i dumped half of it over Milly's head to bring her back. "are you okay, girl?"

Milly: I chocked on water sitting up fast to get air. "Why did you do that?" I asked loudly. I shook my head to remember what had happened. "Oh,thanks Arin. How is he?"
Jacky: I heard Milly asked about me and looked over at her. "I'm Milly. You alright?" She nodded and I smiled at her. "Good. Help should be on the way." I sighed and closed my eyes resting.

Mary Anne: I quickly untied my sweatshirt, to use as a sling. "This might work- and I also have..." I checked my backpack... "A gauze pad, and an athletic wrap. Maybe once the bleeding slows down a little, we could fashion a not-very-tight bandage to last until we get back to sterling?" I proposed. "What hurts, Jacky- your elbow, your forearm, or what?- and does it feel like something's poking your skin?" I asked with a grimace, hoping to determine how serious the injury was.

Miley:
i took the blanket that Arin threw to me and pushed it on Jacky's leg. this is exactly what i didnt want to happen. i did the same thing on one of my old horses. the horse was put down and i was sent away. i broke my leg and i couldnt walk with out crutches(sp?). i started crying. i had to get Warrior away from here or his fate might be the same. "Mary Anne, come here and hold the towel on Jacky. if i send Tempo and Warrior tied together she will know that there is something wrong with Jacky. Warrior is still green and he will run into the woods but Tempo knows the way home," i said getting up and untying Lyra from Tempo. i retied her to a tree and yelled home to Tempo. i slapped Warrior on the rump and the too horses blasted off for Sterlings after Pheonix.

Arin: Miley started crying; maybe it reminded her of when her poor horse had to be put down. she sent both warrior and Tempo off after Phoenix. did she have ulterior motives for doing this? maybe it was residual fear over warrior...but Jackson had to be okay- he hadn't lost total conciousness, yet, and the wound to his leg wasn't a compound fracture. "I think he's okay, Milly," i said reassuringly. "his arm seems to have popped out of its socket, which is painful, but doesn't have any long-lasting ramifications. i'm not so sure about the leg, but, it might be an impact bruise or cut instead of a break."
OOC: it's true about the arm socket... that happened to me when i was two, and all the doctor had to do was pop it back into place!

Miley:
where was Justin when i needed him most? at that instant he jumped over the log and landed on the other side on Airborne Magic. "how did you know we needed help?" i asked him, he shook his head like that was a stupid sentence to say.
Justin:
"let me see. i saw a greenbroke Pheonix come running down this trail and then i saw a Tempo and a Warrior tied together chasing after Pheonix. how dumb do you think i am?" i dismounted and ground tied my mare jumper from England. "what happened?" i asked kneeling down next to the guy.

Mary Anne: Miley was definitely taking charge of this situation... "Justin, Jackson fell off after Warrior took that crazy jump. COuld you ride back and call 911? A chopper would be best, if they have one, because it would be practically impossible for an ambulance to come across the trail. I think there's a meadow over there where they could land!"

Jacky: I paled. "No! No chopper or abulance or anything of the sort. I'll be fine. Milly would put my arm into socket for me?" I asked looking her way. She scowled and nodded.
Milly: I picked up Jack's arm and looked up at him. "Ready?" He nodded and I shooved. It made a loud snap as it went back into place. He rolled his shoulder and pushed up. 'Help me up Milly.' I jumped up to me feet and pulled him to his. "Why don't want to go to the hospital?" I asked and he tightened his mouth. 'Bad exspearence.'He said shortly and I nodded. "You'll be fine?" Again a nod. "Justin you're a guy. You see if he's seriously hurt on his leg or not. OKay?" It weas more a command then a suggestion.

Justin:
i was about to mount up on Magic when Jack got up. Milly wanted me to see if he was acctually hurt. i examined Jack. he was bleed all over. if she wanted to know if he was ok or not. well he wasnt ok. "hes not ok, if we dont get him to a hospital, his leg well heal wrong and also he will probably faint of the mount of blood he lost." i said shaking my head. "get him over to the field, i run back to Sterling tell Katie and call the hospital." i said mounting and reining in my mare. "and im not taking no as an answer." i kicked Magic and she ran and jumped back up the log and too Sterling.
when i stables came into sight, i saw Katie leading Warrior, Tempo, and Pheonix back to their stalls. "Katie!" i yelled, "Jackson is hurt, call 911." i said nearing the stables. with Magic still running i dismounted and the mare stopped and stood there, ground tied. "call 911, and hurry," i said again catching my breath. "when you do call ask for a helicopter to pick him up, and get on a fast horse. you can Stardust if you want, Jackson fell on Holligan Trail on a jump. he was on Apache Warrior the stallion Miley is selling," i said barely breathing.

Arin: "ouch!" i exclaimed, as milly popped Jacky's arm back into place. at least he was still concious... "we might as well stay here. i don't have a horse to ride, and neither does Miley or Jack. i just hope Katie hurries!"
Katie: Warrior, Phoenix, and Tempo appeared as i was setting up folding cots for the sleepover. obviously, something was wrong, but i wasn't about to leave three horses running around the stables with their reins trailing. as i hurriedly put them in their stalls, Justing came roaring up. he told me all about what happened...
"I'll take one of the Baroques." i said, whistling with both fingers. my matched pair of Saddlebreds, the ones that my dad and i won on in the super bowl of horsemanship, came cantering to the gate of the pasture. i mounted up on Baroque Talisman, the younger of the two, and took a running leap on him over the gate. "a helicopter might spook the horses, but it's our best bet. you call!" i cried, and spurred Tally towards the woods.
Owen: Justin had gone on a trail ride. although Ballerina was pretty tired from all our worlouts today, i still had the privledge of being workout boy to the rest of the Berryhill remuda. i saddled up Brumaire L'Ouverture, a proven racehorse, and followed Airborne's footsteps.
~~~~~~~~ the hoofprints soon mixed with those of at least two other horses. horses that looked aimless, as if without riders. sensing something afoot, i cantered Brumaire into a clearing, where pretty much everyone was assembled. i saw Arin, Miley, Justin, Mary Anne, and Jack and Milly, the two people i met earlier today. Jack had blood all over his leg, and was white as a sheet. Arin hurried over, adminred my horse, and then told me all that happened. "i hope the helicopter gets here soon!" i exclaimed.

Mary Anne: I cringed as Jacky's arm snapped back into place with a resounding pop. "Poor guy- I actually don't mind hospitals!" I chattedaimlessly again, trying to both distract him from the pain and make him less queasy at the thought of a hospital. "When I got my appendix removed, the nurses were really nice, and they gave me raspberry lemonade ice cubes to suck on. They tasted lovely!"

Justin:
Katie took off leaving me in the stable. Magic wandered off to one of Miley's horses stall. it was Tempo's, no duh, they were probably friends in England. they both came from the same stable. thinking about Jack, i quickly ran to the office and dialed 911. a person answered after two rings. "hello, how may i help you today?" she asked. "hi, umm... my friend fell of a horse, his arm popped out of its socket and i think his leg bone broke through his skin. his leg is all bloody," i said barely breathing. "calm down son," she said finally paying attention. "where are you?" "ok, Sterling Stables, in Darton. you have to hurry send a helicopter or something. he keeps on passing out and he is as white as a ghost." "where is he?" she asked me. "he is on one of our trails, if you come to Sterling i can show you were he is. it is right after a big log and next to a meadow." i said to her, "please hurry!" "ok dear, a copter and ambulance is on its way," she said "thank you good bye," i said hanging up the phone.
i jumped onto Magic and kicked her into a gallop. we sprinted through the stable to the entrance. we waited for the ambulance to arrive. when Magic started sidestepping, i heard the chopper and the sirins. as the ambulance braked in the parking lot. i loped over to the door. "where is the boy Justin?" it was my dad's friend Mike. "Mike, follow me he is on one of the trails." i said motioning him to follow. with the ambulance and helicopter behind me we dashed to the woods. the sun was setting and it was getting colder out. "soon you are going to have to walk," i screamed over my shoulder. when the log came into view, i motioned them to stop and get out of the truck. when they did, i screamed "come on over here." we walked around the log and there everyone was, surrounding Jack.
