From the mother/daughter creators of Wild Heart Ranch comes this tale of how a herd of wild horses followed the light from a Star and entered the aquatic realm to become the first sea horses. Pegasus, the leader of the herd, has had a bad dream - a vision in which his beloved herd will no longer be free to roam the land unfettered by fences and without human riders.

Acting on instinct, and in response to his dream, he leads his band of mares towards a new home - a home under the waves! There, the sea horses meet their Lucky Star, Marina, who offers a light to guide them in the dark waters. The I Sea Horses story is designed to inspire young children to follow their dreams, and to move beyond their fears into uncharted territory.
