Plot

Lena Dawson lives on a small farm. Mr Burton, who runs a stable, allows her rides on his ponies. Mr Burton dies when a tree falls on him, and his will leaves the stables to one of the girls who attends his stables, but only to the one who scores the most points in a marathon pony trek using their own horse. Lena doesn’t own a pony, so she uses farm horse Ben, and has to ride him bareback as Ben is too big for a saddle.
