Draft horse Mac helps Poppa and his bereaved grandson Izzy form a family, but when Cedarmont Farm goes under, the big-hearted Belgian survives another auction to become the most beloved therapeutic and vaulting horse at Maury River Stables. The plot lacks urgency, but familiar characters from Chancey of the Maury River and a heartrendingly noble horse's-eye-view narration will delight equine-loving readers.
