Sokkie is terrified of people. Things went terribly wrong with his previous owners. Now he's locked up all alone in a dark cage. Luckily, he's rescued and ends up with Sofie. For Sofie, it's a dream come true. Finally, a pony to care for! She loves him dearly already. The human girl actually looks so innocent. She speaks to me kindly and opens the stall door. But then! She stares into my face with her close-set eyes, like a true predator! Her hand goes up like a puma's claw. Then she tries to grab my head. My instincts tell me to flee, but that's impossible in a stall. The girl won't give up. She wants to sink her claws into my mane again and again! Then I attack; I have no choice. How can Sofie make it clear to Sokkie that she means well? How can she get him to let her ride him? Because if that doesn't work, things will end badly for him. Sofie needs to learn horse language, and fast! At the back of this book, you'll find more information about everything Sofie teaches. You'll learn how horses view the world and people, and how to talk to them.
