Rose is a surrogate mother at a stud farm for Arabian thoroughbreds. She has already given birth to four foals that she knows are not her own. She's had more than enough. Most of all, she wants a foal of her own. And someone who cares for her and loves her for who she is. Out of sadness and loneliness, Rose starts eating more and more.
If the extra pounds don't make her pregnant again, Rose is fine with that, but the owner of the Arab stud farm is not. Rose is transferred to a covered wagon company to lose weight. She has to work terribly hard for the mean owner and is barely cared for.
Would she ever get out of here? And does she have to go back to the stud farm? In the meantime, she continues to long for one
nice life and your own foal.
