Synopsis

Three years of drought have reduced the Rileys' farm to a dirt patch and strained the family to the breaking point. Dusty's only consolation is her wild and beautiful horse, the Snow Pony. Together they seem unstoppable. But when sudden violence erupts during a trip up to the mountains, Dusty and her horse find themselves tested as never before.
