Meet Paddywack—a petite nine hands high and packed to the brim with pony spunk! Through patience and persistence, Paddywack has successfully trained his young rider, Jane, to keep him happy. He’ll trot, he’ll canter, and he’ll happily clear the jumps... provided the treats keep flowing.

However, disaster strikes on the morning of the big horse show when a nervous Jane completely forgets his special snacks. Without his favorite motivation, will Paddywack dig his hooves into the dirt and refuse to budge, or will he rise to the occasion and shine in the show ring?
