Jackie dreams of having a horse – one that will run like the wind and beat the boys on the estate who don’t let girls join their races. The closest she can get is her gran’s old donkey, Barnaby, and she can barely make him walk.

But then Jackie finds a magical gnome and he helps Barnaby become a racing superstar. Can the magic last, and make Jackie’s dreams come true?
