Some say the wild Spanish mustangs on the North Carolina Outer Banks swam to shore after a shipwreck, others believe they were left behind by settlers and explorers. What we do know is that they are a hardy breed that have weathered hurricanes and blizzards to claim the Outer Banks as their home. Ten-year-old Zoey Bennett has just moved to the Outer Banks. When she sees a hurt horse struggling in the water a rescue group is called in to help. The horse is saved but has to be removed from its herd. Both Zoey and the horse have to adjust to their new homes. It can be hard starting over in a new place, but it's easier if you have a friend. This is a story about horses, family, and friendship.
