Though he may be small, Looking Glass commands respect, gathering a devoted family of mares and foals—including the steadfast Grace and her spirited daughter, Donata. Together, they endure fierce winters, navigate rugged terrain, and defy the odds against roundups, showcasing the power and beauty of wild family bonds.
