No more ponies! Andi lives on a ranch in 1874 California. She wants a horse of her own more than anything. But Mother says Andi has to ride pokey old Coco.

Or will she always be stuck riding a worn-out, hand-me-down pony?

Being sent to the corner for something that wasn't even her fault is the last straw. Andi is leaving. And she's not going back.
