David's family don't like horses. They think he should concentrate on school, because there's no future with horses for someone like him. But David is determined, and horses are somehow in his blood. He meets Pat, the Master's daughter, and they get on well, despite coming from completely different backgrounds.

David gets a reward he never expected after he does a good deed, and he learns more and more about horses. Perhaps one day he'll win that first rosette.

This is a reprint of the 1950s original, written when hunting was legal.
