The only things that stand between Ashleigh Miller and the horse of her dreams are a whole lot of dollars that she doesn't have parents who don't know one end of a horse from another and a city backyard the size of a shoe box. Ashleigh can't believe it when her parents announce that she will finally have a horse of her own but at a price she could never have imagined. The family is leaving the city and heading for Shady Creek a small country town. And that's when the horse adventures really begin.
