Newfoundland Ponies are little work horses used in
Newfoundland outports during the fall and winter. In the
summer they are given a break and permitted to roam free.
One of these ponies, Kit, is suspected of breaking into
vegetable gardens and eating the tops of turnips. As the
community attempts to discover the culprit (with hilarious
consequences), seven year old Anna, who owns the pony
in question, gains new insights into what makes adults, and
Newfoundland ponies, tick.
