On a remote island in the Caribbean, twelve year-old Beatriz is about to embark on an epic adventure. A journey through hurricanes and across the high seas, back to the time of Christopher Columbus, as she unravels the mystery of the world's rarest horse. When Beatriz stumbles across a wild mare with strange markings in the jungle she can't believe it is real. Yet from that moment on the strongest connection grows between them, and she begins to uncover an incredible history. For centuries ago, Felipa and her horse, Cara Blanca, were running for their lives. As the fates of Beatriz, Felipa and their horses become entwined, Beatriz realises that the future of the island horses depends on her. Based on the extraordinary true story of the Abaco Barb, a real-life mystery that has remained unsolved for over five hundred years.
