Literally born and raised with horses, Zoe leads a happy life at her parents’ racehorse stables, driven by the dream of someday becoming a jockey like her father. To Zoe, nothing beats being with horses, especially her best friend Beautiful Intrigue, the stable’s prize mare, who taught the child how to walk.

When Beautiful Intrigue gives birth to a foal, Zoe is the first to see in him the champion her parents have been waiting and working for all their lives. But Zoe’s dreams are shattered when the panicked foal accidentally injures her, leaving her permanently disabled.
