Ashleigh Miller is mad about horses, but she doesn’t own her own. She can’t afford one, her parents don’t know anything about horses and there just isn’t room to keep one in her tiny, city backyard. So, when Ashleigh’s parents tell her that she can finally have a horse of her own, she thinks it’s the best thing ever. But the good news comes at a price. Ashleigh’s family is leaving the city and heading for the small country town of Shady Creek in rural Australia. Her life is about to change and the horse adventures are about to begin.

Join Ashleigh and her new horse as they begin their adventures together.
