Plot[]
Janice asks Amy for advice on Cisco's performance. Tim thinks it is about his share but Janice says she does not want his money. Amy suspects that Janice is the problem and suggests that Janice may be sabotaging Cisco because she doesn't want a horse Tim owns to win. Amy criticizes Tim for how badly he treated Janice, so Tim gives Janice full ownership of Cisco. Jack puts Mallory on disciplinary probation for her neglectful attitude at work. She continues to fight with Georgie and follows Georgie, who has been feeding a stray dog, and finds the dog in a well. Mallory botches a rescue attempt, trapping Georgie and the dog in the well while losing both of their horses. Jack is concerned when the riderless horses return, rescues the girls from the well, and has a talk with Georgie. Amy and Ty rush the injured dog to the clinic, where Amy feels unneeded as Ty and Cassandra treat it. Earlier, Amy felt jealous of Cassandra because she found out first about Ty getting on the University of Saskatchewan veterinary school wait list, so he makes sure to have Amy open a letter from the University of Calgary.
