In the first title, Amy and her mother are in a fierce trailer accident after rescuing an abandoned horse. Amy’s mother is killed immediately, and Amy is rushed to hospital in a serious condition while the horse is sent to a local vet. When Amy wakes from her coma, she must face returning to life at the stable without her mother. She cowers in her room after returning from the hospital, denying the comfort she could find in the familiar smell of grain and the welcoming nickers of the horse. Not until a pony falls terribly ill does Amy consider her mother’s absolute commitment to horses; then she realises it is her own deepest passion as well.

Amy a baleset óta nem látta Spartant – a viharos este óta, ami örökre megváltoztatta az egész család életét. Spartan most Heartlandre kerül, ám az addig békés ló megváltozott. Dühös, és úgy tűnik, haragja Amynek szól. Ha meglátja a lányt, rögtön ellenségessé válik: vicsorog és vadul toporzékolni kezd. Amy a saját problémáival is nehezen birkózik meg, úgy érzi, ő a legkevésbé alkalmas arra, hogy segítsen Spartanen. Csakhogy talán ő az egyetlen, aki képes rá.

There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?
