 Henry, Katherine, Alec and the Black are lost as the try to find a farm in the French countryside. A rider appears on a magnificent horse and apologizes for being late (he was supposed to meet them and guide them to the farm). He and Alec become friends, and while they are setting up jumps in a field, his horse comes up lame. After being checked by the vet, the horse has to be stabled, so Alec and the Black decide to start training for the race. They win, of course.
