Children's story about young horse-loving Frank who outgrows his wooden hobby horse and is surprised with a birthday pony. His father teaches him about diffrent horses--Arabians, wild horses, fire horses--and after viewing the Military Tournament Frank vows, "I am going to be a soldier in the Scots Greys, when I'm a man, and then I shall always be with horses."
