Based on the 1982 children's novel, this play tells the story of a young boy named Albert, whose father buys a colt (Joey) at auction. The two form a unique bond that is eventually severed when Albert's father sells the horse to the cavalry at the beginning of the First World War. Despite one of the captains keeping a careful watch over Joey, the horse is eventually captured by the Germans and ends up in the care of a young girl and her grandfather. When Joey is recaptured and a horse he is friendly with dies, it suddenly becomes unsure whether the horse will be reunited with Albert after all.
