After arriving at the other side of the ocean, Splash and Teddikitty share a fish lunch. A tall pink bird flies down to see what is going on.Teddikitty tells the pink flamingo, Florida, that she wants to be a real cowgirl but doesn't know any horses. Florida says that she can fly Teddikitty into the savanna but that the horses there are of a different color.Teddikitty and Florida take off into the sky and after they land, Teddikitty is introduced to her "horse." Only this horse isn't a horse at all!Shadow is a zebra and shows Teddikitty that he can run and prance just like a horse, so Teddikitty gets on Shadows back and has the ride of her life.
