Thom’s best friend is Stoffel, an old Shetland pony. Everywhere Thom goes, Stoffel shuffingly follows him. Thom’s father provides therapy with horses for children who are different. Thom is also a bit different. He is almost 10 years old and is growing fast. Stoffel is already 25 years old and has stopped growing. Will Thom still be able to ride Stoffel, now his legs have grown so long? Or does he need to choose a bigger horse?
