Working for a school project at a horse rescue facility, Nelson falls for the one horse which can’t be found a new home.
Toscana is a beautiful, young chestnut mare whose looks attract prospective adopters before her terrible temper puts them off. Nelson forms a bond with the horse, but then has to leave for college, followed by a job in London.
Several years later, he visits the rescue center to see the mare who stole his heart -- only to find that Toscana is gone. What does that mean?
