Twelve-year-old Dan Caldwell is a young rider with big ambitions – to one day show jump for Ireland. But how will he ever be good enough when the only ponies he has to ride are tired riding school mounts at the end of a long day? His mam Mairead knows first-hand just how difficult it is to make a living from horses, and keeps quietly hoping that her son’s dreams will fade into something more realistic.
When Olympic show jumper Deacon O'Callaghan arrives at their local show and happens to see Dan ride, he is impressed by the boy's courage and natural ability. He enlists Dan to ride his daughter's new pony, a talented but bold show jumper that is too much for the young girl to handle, with the aim of qualifying to compete at the Dublin Horse Show.
It’s the opportunity that Dan has been waiting for, but there are several obstacles in his path. Can he help the pony to reach its potential? Can he convince his mother to let him take his chance? Most important of all, can he possibly live up to Deacon’s expectations?
