Sam duly fears for his stablehand job and grandpa Kaan's mobile home as the Kaltenbach stud farm is on the verge of bankruptcy, unless Maria sells the horses to save the grounds. Mika decides against a fussy family holiday in France, her sister joins the summer visit to Stormwind. Sam explains the only hope is to wind the prize money at an impending tournament hosted by neighboring, ultra-modern rival Hans de Burgh. Reluctantly, Mika gets training at dressage, new for her and the stallion, grandpa-style. Roaming the woods, where a 'unicorn' was signaled to the forester, she bumps into handsome Milan, who has troubled retrieving his escaped white mare, until she shows him the confidence trick. Later he's caught as the mystery intruder who steals equestrian equipment, desperate to enter the tournament too.—KGF Vissers
