Punta Libre

*This article is a stub. You can help Spirit Wiki by expanding it and improving existing text.*

**Punta Libre** is a frontier location near Miradero.

Bianca and Mary Pat each planned to take Doll Snips to the top of Punta Libre, although for different reasons; Bianca, for a picnic, and Mary Pat, to throw the doll over the edge.

The foal Governor and his mother were attacked by a mountain lion on Punta Libre.

After Spirit was injured by the mountain lion and needed to recover in the barn, Mr. Granger was worried that if Spirit were to trek all the way back to Punta Libre, he could set back his recovery.

When the PAL returned from the circus, Maricela and Turo planned a meteor-watching picnic on Punta Libre.

Ursula

## Ursula Lin Yang

**Ursula Lin Yang** is one of the antagonistic BUD that compete against the PAL in the Outdoor Summer Jubilee. She races against the PAL in the horse race, and ends up having to stop to help Daphne, after she "accidentally" falls.

Though she is technically Pru’s counterpart, the two have little in common since her personality is closest to Abigail’s (whom she interacts more with).

In "The Neighs Have It" she and Abigail strike up a partnership where they discover the sugar thief. Ursula initially suspects Mabel until Abigail determines she was at her grandma's.

Her mother Judy is featured in "The Palomino Family Affair", which also reveals Ursula's full name. It's unclear if her surname is "Yang" (with Lin being a middle name) or if "Lin Yang" is a compound surname.

Ursula has very straight, black hair with a fringe that sweeps to the side, She secures it with a pink band and brown eyes. She is quite pretty and charming. She wore a yellow and white shirt in the series addition "Pony Tales".

Ribberto

**Ribberto** is a large green bullfrog, sometimes cared for by the PAL and known to frequent the fountain in Miradero's town square. When the drought and a landslide damming of the river cut off water to the fountain, Abigail brought Ribberto back to the barn to live in Boomerang's water trough for the duration.
Xerxes

**Xerxes** is a dark gray horse belonging to horse wrangler Harlan Grayson.

## History

Grayson rode Xerxes in the Tarrell Overland Horse Race when the race came to Miradero. Xerxes finished the race second, but Grayson was declared the winner of the race when the first-place finishers, Lucky and Spirit, were disqualified. Before she realized Lucky was in the race, Aunt Cora thought Xerxes had good chances of winning.

Grayson used Xerxes to haul a cart with barrels of water from Grayson's land, where the river had been dammed up by a landslide, back into Miradero to sell water to the townspeople at $5 a bucket.

Xerxes also appeared in the episode "Lucky and the Ray of Sunshine" where the PAL try to find $20 and find themselves doing chores in Grayson's property, in the Grayson ranch. Lucky decides to teach Xerxes a trick, for him to stand on his hind legs and jump on them, and at the end of the day, learns the trick. The PALs see Grayson complimeting Xerxes, and giving him an apple.

## Name

Xerxes was a great king of Persia in the 6th and 5th centuries BC.

Silverlode

**Silverlode** is a frontier town between about 16 and 120 miles away from Miradero.

Masked bandits who later hit Miradero robbed a bank in Silverlode.

The McDonnell ranch is just outside Silverlode.

Silverlode was the location of a rodeo that Javier performed in. Lucky wanted to attend the rodeo, and hoped to travel to Silverlode with her father, who needed to go there to attend to a broken railroad track switch, but Lucky's father ordered her to stay in Miradero.

Pru and Abigail rode to Silverlode hoping to find Lucky and El Circo Dos Grillos, but only after they arrived did Abigail remember that the circus was actually traveling to Silver Creek, which was still a whole day's ride away from Silverlode.

Silverlode has a Frontier Fillies herd.

## References

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 In "Lucky and the Long Way Home", Abigail says that Silverlode is a four-hour ride from Miradero, a fact repeated by Pru in "Lucky and La Voltereta Feroz". Horses walk at about 4 miles per hour and gallop at about 30 miles per hour. Given that a horse would be unlikely to be able to sustain a gallop that fast for four hours, Silverlode is probably closer to 16 miles from Miradero than 120 miles.
 This makes Silverlode much closer to Miradero than Lasso Flats.

Abigail names her Presley as proof in the book, "Spirit Riding Free: Lucky and the Mustangs of Miradero".
The Neighs Have It

**"The Neighs Have It"** is the sixty-sixth episode of the series overall, and the fourth episode of the first part of *Spirit Riding Free: Riding Academy*.

## Plot synopsis

The PAL run into their old rivals the BUD on the first day of classes, prompting Lucky to run for class rep. Elsewhere, Abigail helps solve a mystery.

## Plot

The episode begins, with the PAL being introduced to the other kids in the canter house. They meet Alex Fox and his horse Liberty, and Beef and his horse Meatball. The PAL then find out who their three other Foals are, which are the BUDs, Bebe, Ursula, and Daphne.

On the next day, Headmaster Perkins picks Abigail and Ursula as his patrol students, before telling the others about an available position for student council, and Lucky believes that Bebe wouldn't do much good if she were elected. Lucky gets a suggestion from Alex Fox - Bebe's debate opponent - that she should run, and Lucky does. Meanwhile, after catching a boy from stealing sugar cubes from the cafeteria, Abigail and Ursula overhear Alex and Beef talking about what Alex would do when being elected. Alex says that he would be giving the boys more things than the girls. Beef however, doesn't like Alex's unfair idea.

Abigail and Ursula report this to Lucky and Bebe, who realize that their voters - girls - have been split up half-and-half, even though there were more girls than boys. The two rivals challenge each other to a race, and the loser would drop out of the election. But though Lucky wins, she realizes that Bebe has way better ideas than her, before dropping out of the election and allowing Bebe to beat Alex. Though Bebe thanks Lucky, both of them realize that they don't instantly have to be friends.
Pru and Abigail's first impressions on Lucky

**It was really mean of Pru and Abigail to suddenly be so mean to lucky. Just because she was wearing a dress and Maricela was acting like her BFF. We could already see that lucky didn't like dresses and was tired of being so "ladylike". Pru was always so bossy, but I guess Abigail was just tailing along. Abigail only seemed to dislike Maricela and Snips in the series. Otherwise she was really nice to Daphne from the BUDs even though Daphne had betrayed her numerous times, after thinking about it Abigail let her keep the friendship bracelet and knew that Daphne has sacrificed the race for them. After that, they even talked behind Lucky's back, about her being so snotty without really even knowing her. They should know that Maricela can be a bit clingy at times. Lucky overheard and was disappointed, until she started meeting Spirit, Pru and Abigail realised that she like horses. But that meant if Lucky hadn't been a tom boy, they would've never been friends. Imagine living in the city with a strict old fashioned aunt like that. Lucky was also unfamiliar. So they gave her some tips and then when Pru an Abigail absentmindedly went to Filbert Canyon because they were too embarrassed to ask Lucky if it was safe since her father is the railroad leader. Lucky rescued their lives and that's when they really developed trust. She rescued them even after she heard them talking about her seriously and being so mean. Pru is always bossy and still Abigail and Pru single her out, never making her fit in exactly but she never admitted it. This is not true friendship!**
Turo

**Turo** is a teenage blacksmith, saddle maker, and stable hand. He is strong, simple, sincere, dependable, and good-hearted.

## History

Turo has lived his whole life in Miradero. He has been in all of Pru's classes in the schoolhouse since she was in kindergarten, and by the time of the bake-off in Lucky's first year back in Miradero, Turo and Maricela had gone to school together for the past five years, although Maricela paid so little mind to him that she didn’t even know who he was.

Turo made Chica Linda's saddle when Pru was only eight years old, and Pru has had it ever since.

Turo was absent from school on Lucky's first day.

For the schoolhouse bazaar, Turo built a dunk tank to put Snips in.

Turo acquired Junipero from Grayson in a trade for some tack that Turo was already contracted to make for Grayson. Later, Turo refused future service to Grayson.

After Lucky and the PAL returned from the circus, Turo revealed that while they were gone Maricela has gotten a bike, and had befriended him. The two became especially close throughout the rest of the season. When Maricela went to boarding school with the PAL, she kissed Turo and told him she would see him at Christmas, thus starting a romantic relationship with him.

Rusty

**Rusty** is a burly cowboy and ranch hand for Mr. Granger.

## History

Along with Pablo, he worked the mustang drive from Miradero to Rancho Conejo the year that the PAL went on the drive, and also looked after the ramada when Mr. Granger was out of town on business (though he duly gave credit to Pru for looking after the Arabian mares Mr. Granger had bought for resale to a buyer).

On the mustang drive, Rusty and Pablo were initially annoyed by Abigail's talkativeness and her saccharine make-believe stories about the horses on the drive. The cowboys decided to indulge Abigail so as not to make her feel bad. By the end of the drive, however, Rusty seemed genuinely interested in the fabricated scuttlebutt Abigail had to offer on the horses.

Rusty was estranged from his mama, but after the mustang drive, and in particular after Abigail pointed out that one mare, Rosie, was brought back together with her estranged mom by the drama of a stampede at the end of the drive, Rusty resolved to make up with his own mama.

**Pete** was, at the same time as Cousin Julian, a pledge for the chapter of the Scoundrels at Julian's boarding school. He is subservient to Calvin, the pledge master.

Scoundrels

The **Scoundrels** are a secret club for boys. They have a secret handshake, and require a password for access to the Scoundrels clubhouse, wherein their mascot, a stuffed moose head named Bartleby, hangs on the wall. According to Cousin Julian, no one ever became a titan of industry without being a Scoundrel first. Lucky and the PAL assisted Julian in a scam meant to help Julian complete his initiation rituals so that he could be admitted to the chapter of the club at his boarding school.

After completing other rituals including kissing a pig and wearing a dress to class, pledge master Calvin required Julian and another pledge named Pete to sneak into the house of the headmaster of their school and purloin an old map, which they intended to hang on the wall of the Scoundrels clubhouse. Concerned that expulsion would be the consequence if he were caught, Julian schemed up an alternative "theft" that he hoped Lucky would be party to. When Calvin, Pete, and Julian stayed at the Dusty Rose Hotel in Silverlode, Julian dispatched telegrams to Lucky imploring her help.

Lucky herself thought up the remaining elements of the scheme, that the target of the "theft" would be a string of "shrunken heads" (actually rotten apples carved to look like heads) supposedly acquired by adventurer Jim Prescott, and that it would take place during a party at her house, with Maricela playing her. When a safe procured by Turo malfunctioned, making the theft impossible, Calvin and the pledges turned to Lucky's room for a trophy, and, dissuaded by Julian from taking Lucky's snow globe or her quartz, the Scoundrels settled on an heirloom locket necklace given to Lucky by Kate Flores.

Once told of the significance of the necklace, Julian demanded it back from Calvin, and confessed that the heist had been a setup. Calvin concluded that scamming the Scoundrels was a "true Scoundrel move" and granted Julian admission to the club. When Pete asked if this meant that he was in the club too, Calvin pushed him away and told him, "Can it, Pete."

PAL

The **PAL** are the group made up by Pru, Abigail, and Lucky. They refer to themselves as the collective, an acronym for their first names. The **PAL** are schoolmates and close friends in Miradero who enjoy horseback riding together on their horses Chica Linda, Boomerang and Spirit respectively. They also enjoy fishing, exploring, treasure hunting, keeping tabs on Spirit's herd, and all manner of other adventures and exploits.

## Background

Pru and Abigail were the two initial friends before Lucky joined the town, which is why their initials were at the start. After tensions to the trio's friendship were brought on by the competition leading up to the bazaar, Pru recognized the significance of the acronym.

Maricela has several times attempted to include herself in the group, suggesting the unofficial name "**PALM**". Once Maricela befriended the **PAL**, she has been included as an unofficial member and renames them the PALM, although more often than not the PAL are disinterested by this.

Solana is also an honorary member of the group, a fact which was recognized as such when El Circos Dos Grillos returned to Miradero for the second time and Pru, Abigail, Lucky and Solana performed a circus act in front of the townsfolk of Miradero together. During this time, the group was referred to as the "**PAL**".

PAL enemies are Grayson and Butch LePray.

## Achievements PAL

* They knew the island of wild Horses,
* They saved a herd of wild Horses,
* They helped the children break free from the gang.

Sweet Little Bird in the Dogwood Tree

**"Sweet Little Bird in the Dogwood Tree"** is a reverse counting song sung by Abigail on Mr. Granger's mustang drive to Rancho Conejo. The song being extremely monotonous (consisting of a hundred "tweet"s in a row on the first verse, ninety-nine on the second, etc.), none of the other PALs or *vaqueros* wanted to sing it with her, but Abigail went on singing it anyway, counting off the "tweet"s on her fingers.

According to a legend told by Pru, Sadia was the richest girl in Miner's Grove before it became a ghost town. In the legend, it was said that Sadie’s birthday was on Halloween, so she never had a birthday party. However, when she turned 13, she assumed her friends were too old for trick-or-treating, so she threw her very first birthday party. However, no one came since everyone forgot, but Sadie refused to believe so, instead assuming they had gotten lost. She went out to look for them, but was never seen again, and all that was found of her was her diamond encrusted necklace. According to legend, Sadie’s ghost drives a skeleton horse every Halloween, looking for eternal guests to bring to her party. As part of a plan by Turo, Maricela dressed up as Sadie on Halloween in order to prank the PAL.

Entering the house, Spirit knocked him out cold. When he woke up, he prevented Abigail and Pru from letting the gathered wedding guests in the church know that Butch was in Miradero. But just when he tied them up, they noticed that he had a head injury, and pointed that out. Then, he lost his memory, and Pru and Abigail told him some bandit tied them up, leading Rooster to believe that he fought off the bandit. He untied them, and took their advice to make a fresh start.

Spirit Riding Free: The Adventure Begins

***Spirit Riding Free: The Adventure Begins*** is a book by children's author Suzanne Selfors, first published May 2, 2017 by Little, Brown and Company. The book is an adaptation of "Lucky and the Unbreakable Spirit", the pilot episode of the *Spirit Riding Free* TV series, that fleshes out a number of details and adds scenes and characters. Expansions to the episode include a prologue set at Lucky's school and home in the city, a visit to the Gutierrez house, a subplot involving Aunt Cora trying to found a ladies' organization, and epistolary interactions between Lucky and her city friend Emma. In a variety of ways, the story of the book diverges from the chronology of events in the TV series.

## Differences between the book and the show

* Lucky, Jim and Cora arrive in Miradero a day after Emma's birthday in the book, while they arrive on Emma's birthday in the show.
* Pru, Abigail and Maricela are already 12 in the book, while they were 11 in the show's first few episodes. This may also mean that Pru and Maricela are older than Lucky in the book's timeline.
* A railroad employee, John Mercer, greets the Prescotts after they arrive at the Miradero station, taking Jim to the office and dropping off Cora and Lucky at the house.
* On her first day of school in the book, Lucky is in her pajamas while eating breakfast, instead of in her casual default clothes as in the show. Cora forces Lucky to wear the pink dress after Jim leaves for work, while in the show Jim is present when Cora lectures Lucky about dressing formally.
* Lucky doesn't get her default clothing until the end of her first day at school, when Jim buys it for her and surprises her with it as a gift to cheer her up after a horrible first day.

## Audiobook

An unabridged audiobook edition, read by Saskia Maarleveld, was published the same day as the book and is available on CD and on Amazon's Audible service.

The Circus Mystery

**"The Circus Mystery"**is a 3-part webisode that was released exclusively on the DreamWorksTV YouTube channel during July and August 2018.

## Plot Synopis

### Part. 1: Magical New Tricks

After many months away, the circus is back in town and the PAL are as dazzled as ever, but when Fito, Estrella, and all their horses are taken in the middle of the night, the girls have to save the day.

### Pt. 2: Kidnapping in Miradero

The PAL are determined to save their circus friends from a pair of crooks! With everything these friends have faced, this should be easy... right?

### Pt. 3: The Bandit Standoff

Cornered by thieves, Lucky is put in a tricky spot. Thankfully, she has some tricks of her own up her sleeve, and the PAL get to put on another show...

## Fun Facts

As the circus returns to Miradero after many months, this is presumably during at the same time as its first appearance in June of the 2nd summer, so this story is most likely set during the 3rd summer of the series, somewhere between the season 7 episode "Lucky and the Ray of Sunshine" and the season 8 episode "Lucky and the Girl Who Cried Wolf".
The Colonel

**The Colonel** was the US army colonel who was the primary antagonist of the film.

He was stationed at the US army outpost where Spirit was taken to. The Colonel decided to have the horse tamed, but when he resisted all attempts, he ordered that the horse be tied to a post for three days without food or water in order to weaken him. Around the same time a Lakota Native American named Little Creek was also captured, so the Colonel had him tied up to a post as well. After three days the Colonel had Spirit saddled and appeared to break him in, but the horse regained his second wind and threw him. Seeing the reaction the other horses in the outpost had to this, the Colonel tried to shoot Spirit when Little Creek broke free, stopping the Colonel and escaping with Spirit and the other horses.

The Colonel was next seen when he led his troops to attack Little Creek's village. During the fight, Little Creek charged him, but was stopped when the Colonel shot his horse Rain. He was about to finish the Native American off but Spirit intervened and knocked the Colonel off his horse.

After Little Creek saved Spirit again, the Colonel and his men discovered them and started another chase, this time into a canyon. Spirit then was cornered, and the Colonel thought that he had them. He was amazed when Spirit jumped an impossible jump to freedom, where the Colonel and his men couldn't follow. One of the troops aimed his gun at the two, but the Colonel stopped him, humbly acknowledging Spirit's feat and decided to give up chasing them.
Rancho Conejo

**Rancho Conejo** is a frontier ranch about two days' ride from Miradero, across the Badlands. It is the terminus of an annual mustang drive ridden by Mr. Granger. When the PALs were thirteen years old, in Lucky's second autumn living back in Miradero, Lucky, Pru, Abigail, Rusty, Pablo, and Javier joined Mr. Granger on the mustang drive, and Abigail and Pru were the first to reach the ranch with the mustangs, while an injured Javier arrived later and recuperated from a leg wound in a large buckboard wagon at the ranch. The ranch features a large horse corral, similar to Mr. Granger's ramada in Miradero, but much bigger, with a Texas Longhorn bull skull adorning the main gate, as well as wide open pastures and beautiful mountain vistas.
Strider

**Strider** is the mate of Esperanza, he has never made an appearance in the movie because of his death. (Mentioned in the start of the movie) Otherwise, he is the father of Spirit.

## Appearance

Strider sported a black coat with no markings. He has dark brown hooves and milky brown eyes, like Spirit and Esperanza. Esperanza describes his coat as shining blue when in the sun. He is slender and muscular.

## Personality

Strider is much like Spirit, fierce and very protective of the herd, as well as responsible. As a colt with Esperanza, he is slightly playful, but alert. He and Esperanza seem to be very affectionate of one another. Strider also has a sense of dignity and pride that Esperanza humbles a bit. He is very brave and protective of all his possessions : his friends, herd and family. Unfortunately, there is no official sources is he alive or not, and if he has died, there is no official source of how did he die.

## History

### In the Film

Strider doesn't seem to physically appear in the film, although there are many black horses that could be him. Spirit mentions him when he grows into a full adult, though the manner in which he is mentioned seems to suggest Strider is deceased.

### In *Spirit of the West*

In Spirit of the West, the old Lead Mare and Stallion have perished, leaving the Herd mostly desolated. Esperanza and her mother, Alma, along with a few other horses, join Cedar's herd. Strider immediately falls for Alma's golden filly. He watches her from afar, nickers, and attempts to graze beside her. His affections are not returned until he shows an act of bravery. He and Esperanza become close friends. A storm strikes, scattering the herd, leaving him and her alone to fend for themselves. Strider blocks the filly' every move to return to the herd. She gradually ceases resisting, and they set off to find a place where they can live freely and be themselves. Strider is extremely protective of Esperanza, more than once putting himself in harm's way for her. She humbles his pride by taking the lead one day and finding water in the direction that he believed to have none. After enduring many hardships, the two find a beautiful grassland that they decide to call home.

Red rubber ball

A **red rubber ball** was played with by horses in the ramada when Spirit was first captured and brought to Miradero. Spirit was not particularly interested in playing with the ball or the other horses.

Lucky later found the ball and played with it in town, bouncing it twice against the window of the saloon before it was stolen by Señor Carrots in a sailor hat.

Outside the Prescott House at the circus performance after-party on the night of June 23rd in Lucky's second summer back in Miradero, two jugglers from El Circo Dos Grillos juggled with five similar balls while Abigail juggled four more, while Turo, Pru, Mary Pat, and Bianca watched. Eventually, Snips gathered up the balls and threw them, breaking a front window of the house.

During the "El Secreto Dos Grillos" show the PAL and Solana put on at night for the children of the prosperous town where El Circo Dos Grillos was unwelcome, Lucky juggled three red rubber balls while standing on Spirit, who himself balanced on three legs.

Spirit Riding Free/Season 6

The **sixth season** of *Spirit Riding Free* premiered with six episodes on Netflix on August 17, 2018.

When a drought threatens Spirit's herd and the townspeople of Miradero, the PAL investigate Grayson's source of water and restore the flow of the river. Mr. Granger stables three Arabian mares for resale, and the PAL have to capture them when they escape so that Pru can prove she is worthy of responsibility. Aunt Cora converts some inspiration from Lucky into a beautiful wedding dress for Miss Flores. Snips and a dust storm threaten Abigail's dream of being awarded an official Frontier Fillies herd. Lucky tries to fulfill her year-old New Year's resolutions on the last day of the year, disappointing Javier in the process. Cousin Julian involves Lucky in a staged heist scheme so that he can be initiated into a secret club for overprivileged troublemakers. A series of fiascoes thwarting Lucky's dad's wedding preparations seem to be manifestations of a curse, but they're nothing in comparison to the vengeful return of frontier bandit Butch LePray.

## Official description

Life in Miradero continues to be exciting as the PAL help prepare for Jim and Kate's wedding, start their very own chapter of the Frontier Fillies, and try to keep up with some wild Arabian horses! Lucky, Spirit, and all their friends go on more exciting adventures in all new episodes of *Spirit Riding Free*, on Netflix this Friday!

## Episode list

* "Lucky and the Doubtful Drought"
* "Lucky and the Arabian Nightmares"
* "Lucky and the Fearless Fillies"
* "Lucky and the Resolutionary Fever"
* "Lucky and the Cousin Caper"
* "Lucky and the Wayward Wedding"

## Compositing errors in announcement image

The season was announced on DreamWorks Animation social media accounts on July 17, 2018. A trailer was released to Facebook and YouTube on August 13, 2018. An image of Javier and Lucky riding Hacheta and Spirit, respectively, with the stylized caption "One Month", was used to announce the season on DreamWorks Animation social media accounts. Although the "One Month" announcement image evokes a similar frame from "Lucky and the Rough Ride", the relative positions of Lucky and Javier are reversed, and the image shows some odd compositing errors. Hacheta's reins float outside of Javier's hands instead of being held inside them, and Lucky appears to be positioned in space behind Spirit rather than astride him.

Student of the Month

**Student of the Month** is a designation awarded by the teacher in the schoolhouse (Miss Flores or one of her predecessors). The winner is memorialized with his or her name on a plaque hung above the piano in the classroom, the plaque having enough room for twelve names at a time. Following the bazaar, Abigail remarked that Snips had been named the new Student of the Month.

When, during the fossil-hunting field trip, Lucky made various unsuccessful attempts to get herself in trouble with Miss Flores in order to shed the perception that she was "teacher's pet", Pru sarcastically remarked that if Lucky kept it up, she would finally make Student of the Month.

The plaque fell off the wall and behind the piano during the earthquake. During the evacuation of the schoolhouse, Maricela retrieved it and hung it back on the wall. However, as of this time, Snips's win following the bazaar had not been added to the plaque.

The Student of the Month plaque was not in its place on the wall on Lucky's first day of school. By the time of Mr. Granger's mustang drive to Rancho Conejo, in Lucky's second year in Miradero, the Student of the Month plaque had disappeared from its place on the wall again.

## Winners

As of the time of the bazaar, the winners on the plaque were:

* Eduardo
* Pru
* Maricela
* Maricela
* Maricela
* Juan
* Frank
* Becky

No additional winners had been added by the time of the earthquake, indicating that no one was awarded the distinction for raising the most funds at the bazaar or for months thereafter.

## Past winners

As of the time of the science fair years prior to the events of the bazaar, the winners were:

* Eduardo
* Pru
* Maricela
* Maricela
* Maricela
* Pru
* Frank
* Becky
* Maricela

## Song lyrics

So exciting
Nothing like I've ever seen
So beautiful
The colors shining so brightly
It's so peaceful
Yeah, everything is all so clear
I wanna run, I wanna ride
Across every field
Just taking it in, I'm taking it in

This great big world
We are wild, we are young and free
We are wild, we are young and free
In this great big world
Climbing over the mountaintops
Going higher than we ever dreamed
'Cause we got everything
We ever wanted
Everything we need
We're wild and free

Gonna wish on every star
That's in the sky
Gonna leave all the worrying
We have behind
We're gonna jump in
Every river we can find
We wanna run, we wanna ride
And feel alive
We're taking it in, taking it in
Taking it in

This great big world
We are wild, we are young and free
We are wild, we are young and free
In this great big world
Climbing over the mountaintops
Going higher than we ever dreamed
'Cause we got everything
We ever wanted
Everything we need
We're wild and free

Forever

We are wild, we are young and free
We are wild, we are young and free
In this great big world
Climbing over the mountaintops
Going higher than we ever dreamed
'Cause we got everything
We ever wanted
Everything we need
We're wild and free

'Cause we got everything
We ever wanted
Everything we need
We're wild and free

'Cause we got everything
We ever wanted
Everything we need
We're wild and free
Spirit Riding Free: Pony Tales/Collection 1

The mini-series *Spirit Riding Free: Pony Tales* premiered on Netflix with six episodes on August 9, 2019.

It comprises two music videos and a four-part story as below.

The opening credits only appear before Episode 1 and featured a heavily abridged version of "Riding Free" performed by Kari Kimmel.

## Episodes and synopses

### 2. "Happy Birthday, Spirit"

The PAL are getting ready for the Frontier Fillies' Summer Outdoor Jubilee. Spirit needs a birthday for the entry form, but is unnerved by the surprise party that they throw together with Snips, so Jim sends Lucky with Spirit on a mystery ride. The PAL then discover that their Jubilee camping equipment is missing, and suspect Snips to be the culprit.

### 3. "Tea for Twins"

Snips admits to having traded the PAL' camping equipment to the twins, who will only give it back if the PAL serve at their nightmarish tea party.

### 4. "The Campsite"

After eventually recovering the camping equipment from the top of a rock pinnacle, Lucky has a wild ride on the wind while holding onto the tent, only for it to be torn after she crashes into a tree.

### 5. "Maricela Sitting Free"

Winthrop has sold the last tent to Maricela, who insists on joining the Frontier Fillies in exchange for sharing it. The PAL attempt to teach her to ride a horse, which she goes to extreme lengths to avoid, and declines to join the Frontier Fillies after all. The PAL still get her tent, but at the last minute realise they're a week early for the Jubilee.
Tuckapaw

The **Tuckapaw** (better known als the Atakapa tribe) lived in southwestern Louisiana and in southeastern Texas in prairies, marshes and swamps where they could hunt and fish year-round.

Historically, the Tuckapaw were not of particular interest to the European settlers in the region because they had little trade value and were relatively remote, living on lands the colonists were not interested in.
Ramada

The **ramada** is a square fenced-in horse yard located between Mr. Granger's Barn and the Town Hall in Miradero. A small open-walled shelter (the *ramada* itself) is at the back end. Maricela's House is directly across the street from, and its balcony overlooks, the ramada. The Prescott House, which is behind the town hall, is also very near the ramada. The ramada is used as the town's all-purpose horse pen, training grounds, and performance yard.

Mr. Granger's *mesteñeros* brought Spirit to the ramada to try to break him after roping him near the JP & Sons Railroad track leading into Miradero. Pru and Abigail attempted to teach Lucky how to safely mount and jump in the ramada.

During the fiesta, the *charreada* was held in the ramada, and Lucky met Javier when he was performing there. Lucky practiced horse stunts with Javier and Spirit there.

When El Circo Dos Grillos came to Miradero, the circus was erected in the ramada, during a time when the fence and *ramada* had apparently been removed.

When Lucky's father gave Lucky's teacher, Miss Flores, a horse named Tambourine as an engagement present, Lucky was concerned that this meant that Lucky would now be seeing Miss Flores at school, at House, *and* at the ramada.

Sound the Bugle

## Music information

### Composer

Trevor Horn
Gavin Greenaway

## Release information

### Released

May 4, 2002

"**Sound the Bugle**" is a song from *Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron*.

## Lyrics

Sound the bugle now

Play it just for me

As the seasons change

Remember how I used to be

Now I can't go on

I can't even start

I've got nothing left

Just an empty heart

I'm a soldier wounded

So I must give up the fight

There's nothing more for me

Lead me away...or leave me lying here

Sound the bugle now

Tell them I don't care

There's not a road I know

That leads to anywhere

Without a light, I fear that I will

Stumble in the dark

Lay right down, decide not to go on

Then from on high

Somewhere in the distance

There's a voice that calls

Remember who you are

If you lose yourself

Your courage soon will follow

So be strong tonight

Remember who you are

You're a soldier now

Fighting in a battle

To be free once more

That's worth fighting for
The Foals

**The Foals** are the secondary characters in the movie *Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'.*

After the Cougar runs off, the Foals and the gang congratulate Spirit on what he's done. At night, they were seen biting each other's ears, but Spirit came and stopped the Foals mischievous behavior and they both smiled, but Spirit didn't and then went to sleep when Spirit left, one of them wakes up and prepares to bite the siblings ear, but Spirit reappears and the Foal falls asleep.

That morning, when Spirit returns from the hunters' camp, the Colts, Esperanza, and the herd wake up and are happy to see him again.
