The team at Silver Shoe Farm are proud to work with the World Horse Welfare Organisation caring for neglected horses. They're all thrilled when one of their rescued horses, Lulabelle, gives birth to a filly foal who Tilly names Lucky Chance.

Tilly Redbrow lives, breathes and dreams horses. The only thing missing from life with her adoptive family is a pony of her own. But on the day Tilly helps rescue a terrified horse from the roadside, her dreams begin to come true. She quickly forms a special bond with Magic Spirit, the beautiful grey horse that is now being cared for at Silver Shoe Farm. It's the start of a partnership with a horse that only she can ride to stardom, but they both have a lot to learn along the way.

Tilly's riding has improved by the day and now she's ready for her first Pony Club competition, riding Rosie. She's nervous, and so is Brook who is competing with his horse, Solo. He's lost his lucky talisman, but the huge surprise that he and Tilly uncover makes up for everything.

Everyone is excited for the London International Horse Show. Then Magic Spirit falls ill and Tilly must nurse him back to health. It turns out that her special skills come in useful at the horse show too, where she helps soothe a fiery stallion who no one else can get close to.

After rescuing Magic Spirit, Tilly spends every moment she can with him at Silver Shoe Farm. While she's there, she's drawn to a Red Admiral, a young racehorse who has been injured. With her horse-whispering skills, it's not long before Tilly knows how to help him on the road to recovery.

Every waking moment is about horses for pony-mad Tilly. She lives and breathes pony books and magazines and at night she dreams of ponies. At Silver Shoe Farm she is getting to know Magic Spirit better and better and growing in confidence with him. She's also enjoying making new friends both human and, with the arrival of Rosie, the perfect pony, animal ones too.
