Plot[]
Amy and Ty take in the horse and mule of Sarah, the town hermit. An abandoned horse Amy was working with instantly bonds with the mule. Medical tests suggest that Sarah's horse will have to be euthanized, but Amy tries a herbal remedy. Sarah's horse recovers, and she takes in the abandoned horse as well. Mallory's friend Jamie teaches Badger to ride so he can spend more time with Mallory (and so she can have Jake to herself). Mallory and Badger go to feed Sarah's chickens but fall down a well while looking for a horse Badger forgot to tie off. They find a skeleton and necklace in the shaft – it was Sarah's husband, who she thought had left her. Peter arrives to discover why Lou hasn't returned to Dubai. Lou and Lisa have different ideas about the Dude Ranch, and Jack asks Peter to help them with a business plan. They come to an understanding and plan to return to Dubai.
