(OK) Simple and effective: mom was right stating that Roddy needed a horse to become a man, and pop Foster hast to agrre with her in the end. And there's a little epic in the proceedings in a modern rural environment...

Ken McLaughlin struggles to please his family in any way. He comes back from boarding school boasting poor grades and facing going through the fifth grade again, much to his father, Rob's, dismay. Ken's mother, Nell, manages to persuade his Rob to let Ken choose a colt from the herd for himself. He instead chooses a sorrel chestnut filly, who becomes injured soon after in a barbed wire accident. Can Ken nurse the filly back to full health?
