myself. Hunter really wasn’t a horse person. He rode and knew all about them but he didn’t really like the stallions. I knew Hunter would be up there before I rode; Elena would be pissed if I didn’t send for him.
    When I got to the barn, I asked the stable hands about the horse. He was named Cool Chrome, or CC, and they hadn’t had any issues with him for the few days he was there.
    I went over to him, stroking his velvet nose and gave him a few sugar cubes. He was quite the gentlemen and let me pick up his hooves. I was able to brush him and, so far, he seemed fine.
    I took CC out to the round pen and put the lunge line on him. He was doing fine so I lunged him for him for a good half hour. CC would walk, trot and canter. I took CC out of the round pen and I wiped the sweat off him. I asked one of the hands to saddle him up with a western saddle.
    I saw that Jo was walking fast toward me, Nailz was trailing a bit behind. She sped up, increasing her distance, probably so he couldn’t catch her. Jo reached me and I asked her to run down and get Hunter. I wanted to get this ride over with. She looked relieved and took off like a bolt of lightening.
    Nailz was chuckling softly to himself when he came up, he looked at CC in awe.
    "You really going to ride this huge beast?" he asked.
    I wondered to myself if these bikers were sissies or city boys. "Nailz, you ever been on a horse?"
    He looked at me like I was crazy. "Hell no! And I don’t plan to ever get on one, either. I ain’t crazy!"
    I had to laugh at him making that silly face. "I’m not crazy either and, of course I’m riding CC. Riding horses is something I love to do."
    Hunter and Jo came back and I checked my saddle to make sure it was on correctly.
    I wondered why Veiko hadn’t come and was a bit disappointed. But, clearing my mind, I got a stable hand to hold him while I got into the saddle. We rode into a paddock and the stable hand shut the gate.
    CC was doing great, he trotted and walked. I couldn’t help but think he wasn’t as green as Elena was told. I suddenly noticed his ears go back, I knew something was wrong.
    Oh no!
    CC was rearing and I held on for dear life.

    Veiko rode his bike up the trail Kima had told him to take. As he got close to the barn he saw her on a large white horse. It was far bigger than her horse, Sugar. All of a sudden the horse was rearing so V rode faster, hoping to get to her. Hunter was waving at him to slow down.
    V cut the engine as Kima flew through the air. Jo was screaming as she saw her friend's body hit the fence. Kima's head bounced off the ground. Stablehands were trying to grab the horse so it didn’t trample her. Nailz was faster and grabbed the reins, handing the horse to a stablehand.
    The horse was calm now that Veiko had shut his bike off.
    Hunter stomped up to him, fuming.
    "V! Didn’t you see the signs on the trail? No motorcycles? You're to blame for this!"
    Hunter went running and told a stable hand to get Elena. Kima wasn’t moving and Jo was silent. She knelt beside Kima, checking her hair for blood and vital signs.
    Jo looked up, very upset. "I think she needs to get to the hospital as soon as we can get her there."
    Elena roared up in her truck and ran up to where Kima was lying, she went pale.
    "Oh my God! Don’t touch her - her neck may be broken! Somebody call for an ambulance. NOW!"
    Veiko stood there, thinking about how this was his fault. If this girl was hurt, it was his fault for not paying attention to the warning signs.
    Nailz grabbed him. "Bro, walk your bike away from here. If the cops come, we don't need them seeing us."
    They pushed the Harley back down the trail and waited silently. In a few minutes an ambulance appeared and V turned to watch as it slowly went up the trail.
    It stopped and people rushed out, going about their business. They loaded Kima on a stretcher and into the ambulance. Hunter, Elena, and Jo went in the truck to follow it.
    V was
