Episode 1: A separation

Available for over a year

The year is 1912 and a gangly colt is sold at auction to a Devon farmer and taken away from its mother. After some rough handling the colt is led back to the farm where he makes friends with the farmer’s son, 13-year-old Albert Narracott, who names the colt Joey. Joey and Albert become inseparable, but Joey’s idyllic life on the farm is threatened when Albert’s father threatens to sell him if he isn’t put in harness and ploughing within a week.
