That's it.
There you go.
How are you doing? Oh, okay.
[hushing.]
Look at them.
It's how it was yesterday.
Incredible, isn't it? - What do you think you're doing? - Right back at you.
The way you had him on that rope, he felt trapped.
- He's got to know who's boss.
- I suppose that's you? No room in a yard for a horse that can't be ridden.
- [Raven neighs.]
- Raven's on borrowed time as it is.
I may not know that much about horses That's right.
You don't.
[Zoe.]
He's got a point though.
I don't understand any of it.
On the other hand, no one talks to me like that.
Hey, moody horse boy.
Get back here.
[sighs.]
So, what do you think? I think you and me have some talking to do.
[chuckles.]
- Sounds serious.
- Oh, it is.
[cell phone rings.]
Oh.
Saved by the bell.
[chuckles.]
Maybe it's Dad.
Hello? Hello.
How did you get this number? [stammers.]
I'll just go somewhere a little quieter.
How much quiet does she need? Excuse me.
If a number says it's unknown, does that mean it's from America? Who was that? Oh, just an old friend.
Now, how about that ice cream? You came back.
Zoe, there's so much to tell you.
- Speculative, made-up gossip, she means.
- It's not made up.
- Horse thieves are real.
- Horse thieves? Shh! You'll upset Bob.
He's very sensitive.
Bob's your horse? I share him with my brother, Ben.
Stunning, isn't he? - [Bob breaks wind.]
- [laughs.]
Bob.
That wasn't me.
[Sam.]
Right, gang.
Listen up.
So, Pony People Magazine are visiting the yard today.
Whoo! - It's Vogue for horses.
- Didn't know horses could read.
[Sam.]
This is our chance to let the stables shine, to spread the word about Bright Fields and bring lots and lots of new riders our way.
[clears throat.]
Well, hopefully, anyway.
Speaking of which, this is Zoe.
She found Raven, so we owe her big time.
Let's make her really welcome.
[all whooping.]
If you can't find a chore that needs doing, just come and find Marcus or me.
- Marcus is Sam's cousin.
- He's the best rider in the yard.
He's really nice.
And he's talented and handsome, and I love him.
- [hushes.]
- What? - Hey.
- Hi.
- [stammers.]
I gotta go.
- Wait.
Where are you going? - I'm supposed to meet up with my mom.
- But you can't leave.
You just got here.
Plus, I can't carry the hay bales on my own.
Come on.
[Mia.]
Sam, got a minute? My friend from school was on the cover of Pony People Magazine.
I think it'd be really good for the yard if I was on the cover, too.
I think you stand a pretty good chance.
Firefly's so lovely.
Oh, no.
I want to be photographed on Raven.
- Absolutely not.
- Mia's one of the best riders in the yard.
But he's still completely unpredictable.
Well, you've had him for over a year.
If you can't sort him out, then maybe we should consider taking our horses elsewhere.
[laughing.]
Oh.
Don't look so panicked.
You know we all love it here.
I just really want to get on Raven by the end of the day.
That magazine cover is in the bag.
Susie how many times have I told you not to wear the same nail polish as me? Sorry, I'll take it off.
- Zoe.
- Yeah? - Can I have a word? - Yeah.
[Becky groans.]
[Pin.]
You want him tacked up? Mia's not gonna ride him.
She just wants to sit on him for a photo.
- This is ridiculous.
- [Sam.]
Yeah, tell me about it.
But if we don't, Mia's dad could pull his money and we'd be bankrupt.
And putting this tourist in the arena is gonna help? - He's a lot calmer when she's about.
- So, quick recap.
You want me to stand in the field while this guy is yelling at Raven, making him really angry.
Yep, basically.
Okay.
I'm just checking.
[Zoe.]
So, I know we didn't get off to a great start, but seeing as we're gonna be working together, whatever, - I was kind of hoping we could - [whinnying.]
Easy, easy, whoa.
I was kind of hoping we could start over, you know? I'm Zoe.
And I just Pass me the lunge rope and try not to get killed.
Is it this? [neighing.]
Before you start, this is to get him used to having something on his back.
Heh.
Wasn't gonna start.
Easy, easy.
Whoa, whoa, boy.
Whoa.
Easy, easy.
[hushes.]
- [whinnies.]
- [Zoe.]
Whoa.
Whoa.
[chuckles.]
Looks like we got our work cut out.
Huh? Look, okay.
I don't know what your problem is with me.
All I know is that Raven picks up on vibes, so you and I need to get along, or he's not gonna be ready for the photo shoot.
I suggest we start over, okay? I'm Zoe.
How's it going? Jade! Another horse has been stolen from the mainland.
Look.
Shouldn't you be getting Bob ready for the photographer? Bob was born ready.
But just in case, I've oiled his hooves, shampooed his mane Becky.
and I've also given him a pre-photo shoot massage.
Just to, you know, get him in the zone.
[Jade.]
Becky, look! - Bob! - Bob! Bob, come back! Don't even think about going in the muck heap.
[chuckles.]
How is he that dirty already? He's never gonna be on the magazine cover now.
[Pin.]
Pass me the saddle pad.
Easy.
- Why is he like this? - Doesn't trust people.
Huh.
Reminds me of someone.
Easy, boy.
Easy, boy.
Easy.
[whinnies.]
Can I try something? I got a feeling.
[scoffs.]
- A feeling? - Yeah.
I don't I don't think he likes to be tied up.
It's okay.
Come on.
Back it up, Raven.
- [Pin.]
Whoa.
- There we go.
Here, give me the saddle pad.
[hushing.]
It's okay.
It's okay, it's just me.
It's just me.
[Raven snorts.]
- [Pin.]
Easy, easy, boy.
- Shh.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Good boy.
[laughs.]
Give me the saddle.
Please.
Whoa.
Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
[hushing.]
Hey.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Relax, relax, relax.
It's okay.
Good boy.
Good boy.
Good boy.
There we go.
That wasn't so bad, was it? - [Pin.]
Raven! - [whinnying.]
[sighs.]
Me and my big mouth.
[classical music playing over radio.]
Ballroom dancing.
Good for the soul.
Less good for broken legs.
Careful.
Right, let's get you connected.
[sighs.]
[radio clicks off.]
- Can I ask you something, Grandpa? - Shoot.
[chuckles.]
Uh, it's about Mom.
Did she have a boyfriend on the island? More than one.
Seemed she was always breaking someone's heart or other.
Whose heart exactly? Now you're asking.
There was one boy.
He'd wait for her at the bottom of the garden.
I kinda need a name.
[chuckles.]
Nothing.
Nothing.
[sighs.]
Bingo.
"Dear Diary.
" Mom's old diary! Totally shouldn't read it.
This is totally private.
Totally reading it.
- [whinnying.]
- [Pin.]
Just stand back.
- Sam said I should help.
- You can help by getting out of my way.
Go get me another lead rope.
[Jade.]
Bob, what is your obsession with the muck heap? We'll never get these stains out before the photographer arrives.
[laughs.]
Look at them working away.
They think they've got a chance of being picked.
Which half of Bob are you putting forward for the magazine cover, Becky? Don't be mean.
It's not her fault she has to share a scabby pony with her brother.
Daddy says when I'm on the cover, he'll buy every copy in the newsagents.
He could basically buy the newsagents.
She's so sure she's got this, isn't she? Raven will look amazing.
Yeah, he will, but, um - Bob will look distinctive.
- Yeah, you're right.
There's only one Bob.
[Zoe.]
Turn it off! Turn it off! Okay.
Turn it off! Becky.
Oops.
Um Come on.
There we go.
Lunge rein.
Stirrup leathers.
Bob's old bum sponge.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Here we are, lead rope.
Hang on, this one's really frayed.
- What is this? - Nothing.
- That's our Hot Marcus Map.
- Becky! - What? - We map out his movements, so we know where to be for maximum bump-into ability.
- Marcus! - What? Um, I thought you were feeding Monty.
[Marcus.]
Ah, no.
Change of plan.
[Sam.]
There are three keys.
One for you, one for me, one for the office.
Thanks.
You're sure the sedatives were stolen, and you just I'm not losing my mind, Marcus.
Yesterday, the shelf was full, now half the packets are gone.
Someone's taken them.
Did you hear that? Horse thieves.
- Shh.
- You know I'm right.
You know it.
Thieves use sedatives to calm the horses they steal.
They mark the horses, plan their escape route, and then when everything's in place, they strike.
That doesn't make sense.
Why would you steal sedatives - from the stables you're going to rob? - [Jade.]
Exactly.
Okay, guys.
Well, I gotta go.
Wish me luck.
- [Zoe.]
Here you go.
One lead rope.
- We're out of time.
really excited about the magazine cover.
- Just tell Mia he's not ready.
- You really don't know Mia, do you? "I dream of just running away with E.
" No! "I know it sounds lame, but what we have is special.
" Ew.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
"My mom doesn't understand.
" Well, that runs in the family.
[sighs.]
"M plus E.
" Who the heck is E? It was my dad's place.
It used to be bigger, but we had to sell one of the fields.
Still, we're busy Busy enough for now.
He's coming.
Please, Bob, be good.
Focus, Becky.
And remember, distinctive.
[man.]
What an unusual-looking pony.
- His name's Bob.
- Bob.
Hello, Bob.
[camera clicking.]
Where's my horse? Be careful, Mia.
- It looks like they've brought him - Pin.
This is Raven.
[exhales deeply.]
Beautiful.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
- [Raven neighs.]
[Zoe.]
It's okay.
- He is beautiful.
- I know.
Wait.
What about distinctive Bob? - I can take it from here.
- But he's Zoe, you're getting in the way of my picture.
Now, where do you want me? Where you are is just perfect.
- Lovely, lovely.
Big smile.
Good.
- [camera clicking.]
Stand still, you stupid horse.
- Looking gorgeous, Mia.
- Okay.
- Shh, shh, shh.
It's okay.
- Zoe, do you mind? [Raven snorting.]
Marcus, let's try one with me on the horse.
You sure about this? - [Mia.]
Yes.
- Mia, be careful.
[scoffs.]
Can everyone just calm down? I'm just trying to mount my horse.
Okay? [Marcus.]
On three.
Ready? One, two, three.
See? No drama.
Hold that position.
The light is fantastic.
Okay.
Lovely, beautiful.
Stop pulling him.
Let's try something else.
Uh, bring him round this way.
Calm down, Raven.
Stop it.
- Stop pulling him.
- [Mia.]
Good? - This way.
- Lovely.
Beautiful.
Okay, look at me.
Smile.
Yeah? - Like this? - Good.
Bring him round.
Good.
Stop pulling him, stop pulling him, stop pulling him.
- [Raven whinnying.]
- Shut up.
Looking good.
Zoe.
Zoe, no! No, no, no.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Shh! Raven.
Raven, it's okay.
Come here.
[shushing.]
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
It's okay.
You sure you're okay, Mia? Of course.
[clears throat.]
A little fall never hurt anyone.
Uh, what's her name? The girl with the wild horse.
Her name is Zoe.
And she's our friend.
[Zoe.]
Let's go, let's go.
Here.
Take this.
You look half frozen.
Thank you.
It was my fault Raven got out yesterday.
I was supposed to fix the gate.
It's It's fine.
It's no big deal.
You could have been hurt.
And I'm I'm sorry.
Pin, if it wasn't for you, I would have never met Raven.
You'd have met him, one way or another.
Some things are just meant to be.
[Zoe.]
Don't say anything but I know how Raven got out.
- It was horse thieves, wasn't it? - No.
Pin forgot to mend the gate.
Oh.
Kind of boring.
We don't know who's stealing sedatives.
It's horse thieves.
Or who Ghost Pony is.
- Or why Bob's obsessed with the muck heap.
- And she's off.
[sighs.]
I guess I'd better head home.
My mom will be worrying.
- But you'll be back tomorrow.
- Will she? - Will I? - [Jade.]
Yeah, totally.
You've got the pony bug now, and there's no cure for that.
- Granddaughter 1 returns.
- That's my girl.
Back in time for dinner.
Okay, I've had the most insane day.
I don't know where to start.
Uh Sam, she asked me to help with Raven, he's a horse.
And Pin was like, "Back off, tourist.
" - And I - You've been at the stables? It sounds like you had fun, whatever you were doing.
Everybody's actually kind of cool.
Apart from Mia I don't want you riding.
What? Why? Because I need you keeping an eye on Rosie.
- She could come with me.
- Rosie at a stable? I don't think so.
Okay.
It's fine.
She doesn't have to be with me the whole time.
This isn't up for discussion.
I've got enough to worry about with Gramps and your dad and [Maggie sighs.]
Just promise me.
No riding.
Sure.
No riding.
Whatever you need, Mom.
Whatever you need.
[sighs.]
Hey.
How was the pier? Okay, I'm not being funny, but there was literally one shop.
[gasps.]
Are you serious? - I know, right? - Yeah.
There are more shops than that in jail.
Well, I'm sure you found a way to have fun.
Did Mom seem weird to you? Um, not more than usual, but she's fine.
Don't worry.
Well [sighs.]
I will be in my room, avoiding risky activities.
So yeah.
Mom just went off on me and made it clear she doesn't want me to ride.
- Well, did you talk to her about it? - Have you met Mom? [laughs.]
Good point.
Mm-hmm.
[sighs.]
Anyway How have you been, Dad? How's your time-out going? It's been pretty quiet.
A little too quiet without you guys.
But tell me about that cute little island you're on.
Did Rosie meet the queen yet? The queen, she is in London.
And it's It's cool.
I met some new friends.
Wait a minute.
Dad what is it? That sweater, Zoe.
Whose sweater is that? It's my friend's.
He lent it to me.
"He"? Oh, no.
No.
Are you hanging out with boys? Zoe, I've had this talk with you before.
All boys are bad.
All of them.
Yes, Dad, yes.
Seriously? I gotta go, okay? I love you.
- I love you, too.
- I love you.
Bye, bye-bye.
[Zoe.]
My dad always says never judge a book by its cover.
Take Pin, for example.
The guy looks like he swallowed a bag of lemons but underneath it all, he's surprisingly Surprisingly likely to be a horse thief, after all.
[sighs.]
Sedatives.
Pin what have you done?
