Guided by stable manager Jack, fourteen-year-old volunteer Annie buys and trains a wild Buckskin otherwise destined to become dog food. When "teen queen" Peggy's horse falls subject to sabotage, Annie rushes to save the stable's horses. Halls meticulously captures the painstaking process of training a wild horse, but the sabotage and associated lessons come late and are resolved too quickly.
