December 25, Winter, Appaloosa Plains.

Almost everyone gathered in the Equestrian Center to watch the horse race. Many SimNation's famous Equestrian athletes gathered. Among them was Peter Manhattan, the recurring champion of the tournament. In the tribune, Peter's wife, Jessica Manhattan and daughter, Eliza also watched. "Aww man, become Equestrian athlete is so cool!" Eliza exclaimed, "Mom, do you think I can become an Equestrian athlete like dad?" she asked. "Well, we will see that" Jessica said smiling at her daughter.

After few minutes, the race finally started. The racers tried their best to won the race, everyone in the tribune cheered. After three laps, Peter and his horse, Lightning were able to reached the second position, there was one opponent remain and Peter need to catch him up to win the race.

When Peter and Lightning almost catch him up, something was wrong. "I will never let you won Manhattan!" his opponent said. The opponent hit his horse to Peter's, causing the two fall, Peter even hit by another racer who couldn't stop his horse in time, everyone screamed in horror. "NOOOOOOOOO!" Jessica and Eliza yelled in unison. The racer who hit Peter remained in first position and reached the finish line, wining the race.

However, everyone gave their attention to the unconscious Peter instead, the medical team rushed to the arena and carried him into an ambulance. Peter then brought to the hospital.

In the hospital, Jessica and Eliza waited in the waiting room. Later, Dave Redfield appeared, came from Twinbrook after hearing the accident. "Sis!" Dave called. Jessica approached her brother and hug him, crying. A moment later, John Redfield with his entire family (Lily, Leona, Jean, and Chris) also arrived. "Oh my God Jesse, we come here quickly after we heard about the accident!" John claimed. "How's Peter now, is he okay?" Lily asked.

"I don't know, the doctor still inside, I just hope my husband can be saved!" Jessica said in tears. A moment later, the doctor finally out from the ICU room. "Doctor, how's my husband?" Jessica asked. "Mrs. Manhattan, your husband is fine..." the Doctor said "...but unfortunately, some of his bones are broken and I afraid, he might won't be able to race again and need support to walk". Everyone in the room became silent. They were relieved because Peter was saved, but they also sad because Peter must end his career like this.

They then allowed to went inside the room to see his condition. Peter was already conscious, but still weak because of the medicine's effect. "E...li...za..." Peter called his daughter. "Y-Yes dad?" Eliza said approaching her father on the bed. Peter then hold Eliza's arm. "Y-you already know that b-become Equestrian athlete is dangerous..." Peter said in weak tone "If... If you really wanted to be an Equestrian athlete like me, you... you must think it twice, I don't want you to be end up like me...". Eliza didn't said anything.

Jessica then approached her daughter, "Honey, your father's right, it must be hard, but I think you... you must give up your dream, become Equestrian athlete is too risky" she convinced. "I... I don't know what to say mom" Eliza said, everyone could see her saddened face.

After three weeks, Peter finally went home, however, just like what the Doctor said, he need supports to walk. He also realized that he won't be able to race again. He greeted by his employees in his ranch.

In her room, Eliza watched her father's homecoming. She felt happy that her father was finally home, but she also sad because her parents now forbid her to riding horse again since they afraid she would end up like Peter.
