What is Pal the Pony about?

Pal is the smallest pony at the ranch, and he dreams of joining the exciting rodeo. But while the bigger horses race, jump and show off their skills, Pal is told he is too little to take part. Feeling disappointed, he wonders whether he has anything special to offer. Then an unexpected challenge gives Pal the chance to prove himself. With courage and a clever idea, this little pony discovers that being different can make him the perfect star of the ranch.
