It's bad enough that Rex breaks her dad's rules, but when he mistreats poor Snickers Keira faces a tough choice: confront Rex and lose valuable business, or keep quiet and risk Snickers coming to serious harm?

It's snowing in springtime! Out tobogganing with friends, Keira spots a ghostly horse and rider high on the frozen mountain.

She's worried. Are the mysterious pair on the run? Are they even real? And if they are, how long can they survive in the icy wilderness?

Stormcloud has all the bad habits of an ex-rodeo pony rolled into one. He nips and bites, bucks and rears, kicks out and rides through the bit. Worse still, he tunes in to a nervous rider's worst fears.

Keira jumps at the challenge - taking Stormy back to basics, re-schooling him and treating him right. Will Stormy respond? Or have years of mistreatment soured him for good?
