Annotation
Estrella is a filly, daughter of the lead mare, one of a shipment
of horses bound for the new world, but when the ship is becalmed
and the horses are dropped overboard to lighten the load, Estrella
finds that it is up to her to lead the herd to land and safety.
Summary
Run Wild. Run Free.
The horses are in danger. They were rounded up by the two-legs and forced onto a boat to cross the wide ocean. The journey went badly and the boat was deemed too heavy, so the two-legs forced the horses into the sea and sailed away, leaving the herd to die in the deep.
By a miracle, the horses survived and made it to land. All but one -- the ghost horse, the leader of the pack. Now it's up to her daughter, only a filly, to take charge of the terrified herd. Stranded in a new land, surrounded by two-legs, will the horses find a way to live safe and free?
