Susan is sent from Rhodesia, which she misses desperately, to school on Dartmoor.
At first she is difficult: prickly and bolshy, and she lames a pony who has just
recovered, as well as alienating herself from most of the girls.  As she moves through
the school, she reaslises people are not what they seem at first, and develops her
relationships with everyone at the school: equine and human.

“This is the story of a little gipsy girl who passionately longed for a pony of her own - and whose dreams,
as the result of an encounter with a more fortunate small boy, were wondrously made real.”
