Synopsis
At the Old Horses' Home, Captain, Ladybird, and Herbert—two Shire horses and a Suffolk Punch—are dismayed when Jenny, a retired seaside donkey, joins them. They believe the sanctuary is exclusively for horses and are reluctant to share their space. However, when horse thieves threaten the area, aiming to steal horses for meat, Jenny's courage and resourcefulness become vital. Can she and her new companions thwart the rustlers and protect their home?
