When Ashleigh Miller wins a stay at Waratah Grove Riding Academy, she finds the training a challenge, especially when her horse, Honey, refuses to enter the dressage ring, and her relationships with the other students are just as difficult.

Ashleigh Miller's work at the new riding school makes difficulties in her friendship with Becky until Cassata, an Appaloosa that belongs to Becky's family, disappears and the two girls unite to find the missing mare.
