​ Ben asked her what she needed She replied I don't know how to help her all I know she needs our help please come as soon as you can I'm scared for her and myself. Ben said he would but it maybe an hour or so. Audrey hung up saying your baby may not be alive in an hour especially if that big cat comes back and I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. I've seen shows where they pull the foal out by the hind legs. She ran to her bike and got a rope then wrap it around both legs of the baby and then pedal slowly til the baby was was out of it's mother but now what do I do with you Audrey thought. I don't know how to get you on your feet or what. She called Ben again and said please come quickly there is a mountian lion out her in the corn field with me and I need a veterinarian and hopefully he won't turn me in.I'm going to try to get to the mine without being followed by the lion. By then the pony was up on all four legs very wobbly but was up so Audrey tied the rope around the pony's neck and tied the pony to her bike and peddled to the mine. She didn'r see anybody on the road. She got her new pony inside and was sitting waiting for Ben and who knows if he got a veterinrian but she was scared and so was her new friend. She sat looking at the pony and kept saying you are so beautiful. I don't know if you are a girl or a boy. The pony started naying and she got up and put one of her throws on it's back and was hugging it and petting it trying to calm him or her down and wasn't sure she was doing the right thing because it was naying even more.Audrey wasn't leaving the pony for anything and would fight off anything or anybody to keep it safe.

​ When Ben arrived he was with a woman whom he introduced them and told Audrey so you're the person who old drunken Sam saw and is telling the whole town. Audrey apologized and said with that mountain lion out there I couldn't leave him or her out there. The veterinarian told Audrey it was a boy and he's healthy just hungry. She had powdered milk and a bottle to feed him. She told Audrey that he would need feeding every so many hours and would drink the whole bottle then she asked her what she was going to name him. Audrey looked at him and said Buster. The veterinarian name Susan said that was a great name. When Ben came back he told Audrey he had seen the tracks and yes it was a mountain lion andprobably had babies that she was feeding. Then he asked what's his name. She said Buster. The next day he boarded up the entrance into the mine to keep her and the pony safer. he also brought straw for the pony to lay on. he had to admit that he was a good looking mostly white with brownisn red spots and when he got older he would really be a good looking horse.
