Magic, the golden mare, was to Robin the most beautiful horse in the world. That others saw her as an old horse without much time to live was no concern of his.
Without Magic, life for Robin Daveen would have been lonely. He could not work and play and go to school like other boys, nor could he ride with his brothers at breakneck speed over the range lands and mountain slopes. The boy and the horse had many adventures together, but they took place only in the agile mind of Robin. Then came a real adventure. In the dead of a bitter cold night, Robin and his beloved horse faced a dangerous animal - a hungry mountain lion.
Robin has one more battle to win before the end of the story, and although this time he must win it without the golden mare, he finds he need not face it alone. Without knowing it, he has won the fierce affection and understanding of the brothers who were once indifferent to him.
