The inspiring story of a multigenerational family working together to bring a herd of Ojibwe Horses back home, years after they all but disappeared. A grandfather and grandchild share the work of breeding and caring for the horses, remembering the story of a daring rescue from the grandfather's childhood, and building a loving bond of family and animals. Inspired by real events.

"Elders say they were always here. The horses were small, but strong." "Like me?" "Like you."

As they await the birth of a new foal, a man teaches his grandchild about the Ojibwe Horses that used to roam the forests of northwestern Ontario. The horses once ran wild and free, but when Grandfather was a boy, they almost disappeared. Now he is the caretaker of his own small herd, keeping the breed alive for future generations and teaching his grandchild about the loving bond between human and animals.
