12 year-old Laura has an important responsibility: She is the caretaker of Masa, a pony owned by a nearby riding school. At the school, Laura has befriended Nekku and Heli, who care for ponies there as well. Altogether, nearly a hundred young girls volunteer to care for ponies and horses at Poni-Haka riding school. 9-year-old Krista and others too young to bear the responsibility themselves can join the Pony Club, where the older girls teach them what horsemanship is all about.
