Two years have passed and Kelly is walking around without a limp. She could barely see through the pich blackness. She carried a bag of tip bits. As she walked up to Sunny she expected to see his joyful self but instead she say him lying down. He was in pain and it wasn't in his leg because that had healed a month ago. Kelly called the vet and buried her head in his mane. The vet arrived an diagnosed it as an infectious disease and might not make it. Kelly decided she would spend the night outside in the stable with him. She tried to stay awake but she was so sleepy and slowly she dozed off....
When she woke up she expected the warmth of Sunny to heat her up but it didn't infact there was no heat at all coming off. Then Maxine said "im so sorry Kelly he passed away in the night" Kelly couldn't understand what had happened. He was only three years old and was too young to die. Kelly sprinted off to her room and cried and cried and cried. She had never felt any worse in her life.

Chapter 4
Kelly settled her self in Sunny's saddle and walked over to the race track. This was the first time she had ridden her on the race track. The cool, crisp morning air pierced her lips as she started to trot Sunny. Sunny gave a play full buck and bolted into a gallop. Kelly tried to stop him but he wouldn't stop and keep ignoring her aids. Kelly could hear a faint scream and a clatter of hooves followed someone saying "loose horse!!" the hoof beats were getting louder and louder. Kelly tried to turn Sunny around in circles top stop him but he just kept ignoring her. Kelly began to panic as the sound of the hoof beats became louder and louder. Kelly was bracing herself for the collision but nothing happened. Kelly relaxed but as soon as she did the loose horse banged Sunny's side and Kelly's leg sending her flying. as soon as an enormous shock of pain in her back she started to relize what was happening. Her foot was still in the stirrip and she was being draged along the ground. She heard a sickening crunch. At the same time as the crunch she was knocked out. When she woke up she found herself inside a hospital under an x-ray machine when she asked where she was injursed and how long it will take her to recover Kelly almost fainted....
