When she discovers a neglected racehorse, she is determined to bring the horse back to health and train it to compete. Along the way, Sophie faces challenges, including her own insecurities, the skepticism of others, and the realities of the racing world. With her unwavering spirit and passion for horses, she not only revives the horse’s potential but also discovers her own strength and resilience, forging unbreakable bonds along the way.
