This book has been written from the point of view of the horse. The book starts with the horse being captured by three men after it was sold to the highest bidder. He doesn't really like the owner, he's a drunk old man that intimidates him very much. When he sees the owner's child, Albert, he becomes more confident with the family. Albert now named him Joey. Albert is the 13 year old son of the drunk old man and a caring mother. Albert's father has been trying to keep the farm but he is living to the limits since he has no more money because of buying the horse. He tells Albert that if the horse isn't working in the next few weeks he will have to sell him. Albert takes long hours of hard work to teach the horse how to plow and finally achieves it. Even though he did keep the promise of putting the horse to work his father decides to sell the horse for the good of the family.
