Dink feels outnumbered among his four sisters. As far as Dink can see, they cause him nothing but trouble. After saving his money for a horse, Dink refuses to consider adding another girl to the family. His new horse will definitely be a boy. When Dink goes to pick out his perfect cow horse, the whole family goes along. After searching the entire herd at Mr. Jackson's ranch, he finds the perfect one: Socks, a red gelding. His four sisters, however, fall in love with a scrawny, flea-bitten, old mare named Goldie. Goldie, a retired circus horse, takes a liking to Dink. He tries to ignore the affection of the mare and concentrate on the horse of his dreams. Socks fits all the requirements for Dink's perfect horse; Goldie does not. Dink chooses Socks which disappoints his sisters. When the family returns to the ranch a few days later to pick up Socks, Dink's life gets complicated. He is no longer sure that Socks is perfect. Follow the adventures of Dink as he brings his horse home and finds that perfect isn't always easy to recognize and sisters are not so bad after all.
