I wasn't expecting much, but as I love horses (and the price was right), I decided to give this a try.  Basically it is the oldaristocrat girl gets told who she will marry, would rather be with the horses, rides off to think on it, and of course, her horsebecomes lame and she can't make it back home in a storm.  So she walks the horse to a country inn, mistakes her future intendedfor a stable boy (he doesn't correct her assumption after he learns who she is), and he sets about getting to know her without setting her straight because she virtually says all earls are stuffy.  The Christmas colt is actually her engagement gift, and sadly we see very little of it, first in the stable when she first sees it while stabling her horse, and then at the very end when he gives it to her after finally telling her who he is.  So if you like horses, this is not the tale for you.
