Lisa goes on vacation in the Caribbean and loses confidences after she falls off a trail horse because she wasn't paying attention. Stevie is off buying a dress for her New Year's dance with Phil, and Carole is focusing on training her new horse.
Sea Horse is another of my favorites. I'd love to be a trail guide on a tropical island. Maybe being warm all the time would balance working trails.
