Horses are the center of the Icelanders’ lives. And it is a great event in each child’s life when it learns riding until it is ready to get its own horse. Since Finna was a little girl, there is just one horse worth considering: Garpur, the brave stallion, who protects and defends a small mare, who even turns himself against his owner Einar. And that’s a behaviour which the stubborn Einar can’t tolerate at all – a horse that stands up against him. He has to break the will of that horse, against knowing better and against all advice. In this case even Stefanja, the wise healer is helpless. Einar goes so far with his training that the horse nearly perishes. But Garpur is strong and in the background the other horse breeders and Stefanja work on a plan how to rescue the stallion.
