In a world full of horses, how hard can it be to get one of your own?

Cassie Piotrowski is upset. After a special morning of horse shopping, the twelve-year-old equestrian is horrified to end up standing in a filthy paddock with four starving horses. The young horse lover is heartbroken when her dad refuses to buy the bay horse she's befriended and when she learns the horses are about to load for auction. Still pleading with her dad, they drive away, relinquishing the horses to their terrible fate.

Knowing that it was too late to save the horses and still angry at her dad for refusing to help, Cassie is surprised when she arrives at the stable the next day and finds the befriended mystery horse standing in a paddock. But despite telling her dad the good news when she gets home, he still refuses to buy her the bay horse.

How can Cassie convince her dad that the bay mystery horse is perfect for her before he's sold to a new owner and she loses him forever?
