12 year old Ciara lives with her family in a charming ivy clad house, on a busy street in Blueriver town. Her favourite day of the week is Saturday, when she gets a riding lesson at the local stables, with a very smart Connemara pony called Misty.
But when she has to leave her school, home, friends and pony to move in with her Grandad, Ciara's world crumbles before her eyes. After arriving at Grandad's house on the beach, Ciara discovers that Grandad is a horseman, and he has two large Irish draught horses he is training. But when a bad accident unexpectedly occurs, Grandad is rushed to hospital.
Can Ciara help Grandad run the farm and take care of the horses? And will Ciara ever see her beloved Misty again, or has she lost her Connemara pony forever? Join Ciara and Misty in their very first adventure to find out.
