After washing out at the racetrack, thoroughbred Dante lands first in a prison racehorse rehabilitation center and then at Maury River Stables, where he finds his destiny meeting other Maury River legends and partnering with Ashley as a great eventing horse. Amateau really knows how to capture the magic of the horse-human bond, and Dante's smart, distinctive first-equine (a.k.a. first-person) voice is a winning hook.
