"All the ranch hands stay busy with the new teams of horses, used to help feed during the long winter, and halter breaking the young colts. One of the colts gets the best of Honey, who ends up with broken ribs and a torn rotator cuff. Honey, Pat, and Chuck help to train Dale, another juvenile delinquent looking for redemption. Ginny, Honey's daughter, gets to experience her first Christmas parade and meets Santa, and the last big snowstorm of winter leaves three feet of snow on the ground. Honey learns about the "law of diminishing returns" and Bud and Sally lose their beloved big paint horse."--Back cover.
