action

Mika spends her summer holidays at her grandmother's Kaltenbach stud. The equestrian center is on the verge of ruin because of a competing company: the modern facility is in danger of poaching all riding students. Your participation in a tournament could save the stud. And so she begins to train with her horse Ostwind in order to be able to take part in a competition. Only with a victory can she avert the bankruptcy of the court. While preparing for the tournament, both Ostwind and Mika discover their interest in the opposite sex. For the stallion it is a runaway gray mare, for Mika the young Milan who helps Mika with the training after she helped him bring the gray mare back to him.

Mika fails to win the tournament because of a fainting spell. She helps Milan, who stole the gray mare to save her from death in an illegal concealing shop. The stud was saved from bankruptcy because the Hessian police charged it with the accommodation of the horses confiscated in the stoner.

Katja von Garnier succeeded in “a grandiose sequel”, “a perfect mixture of dramatic tension, comic situations and romantic feelings”.
