2 CDs .25hrs Get ready, because Cowgirl Kate and her horse Cocoa are back for more adventures on the range. These two best friends love to spend time together -- they just don't always see eye to eye. When Katie decides it's time for Cocoa to get new horseshoes, her favorite horse has other ideas. And Kate might have to get sneaky or convince Cocoa to get new footwear. Then while riding on the range counting the cows they notice a calf is missing.

But Kate isn't quite ready to make the giant leap into the farm's pond.
