While riding through the open country near his family's ranch house, Billy and his pony Blaze come across a dangerous mountain lion.

A youngster outgrows carved ponies and stuffed ponies, and finally he wants a gray pony, with spots, please, and alive.

Pencil sketches illustrate this story of Billy and Tommy's exploration of the woodlands, on their ponies, Blaze and Dusty.

On the farm each colt lived happily with its own pony mother except for the lonesome little colt who had no mother and no friends. Tommy and Mary were kind to the lonesome colt but it was the children's father who found the colt a new mother.

Billy and his pony Blaze get lost in the woods with a storm approaching.
