One lonely boy. One runaway horse. One unforgettable summer.

John Emery Phillips is the only kid in the neighbourhood without a horse—and it's driving him mad. With no siblings who understand, a family that "just doesn't like animals," and a fierce yearning to ride like the others, John finds himself increasingly isolated and frustrated.

When a wild gelding bolts during a chaotic training session at the local riding school, John's moment arrives. What starts as a desperate act of defiance turns into a wild adventure of loyalty, growing up, and a bond between boy and beast that no one saw coming.

Filled with humour, heart, and horsey mishaps, Wanted! A Horse is a timeless Australian tale about finding your place—even when the odds are galloping against you.
