About This Book

On a narrow coastal island, a family and their neighbors contend with a violent storm as a beloved mare gives birth to a foal; the narrative follows the birth, the community's rescue and sheltering efforts, and the decisions about caring for and naming the young pony. Scenes move between tense, weather-driven danger and the practical work of building a foaling box, transporting animals, and tending frightened livestock, alongside quieter moments of barnyard routine and preparation for Pony Penning Day. The account highlights the bond between people and ponies, communal resourcefulness in crisis, and island traditions for managing and celebrating wild herds.
