Thieves have struck at the local riding school. Lolly’s favourite horse, Knocker, has been stolen, even though he’s a difficult horse whom only Lolly can love. The thieves reckeon without Lolly’s determination, as she sticks with them.

Lolly keeps her pony Knocker in Top Field. The only problem is that to get there, Lolly has to walk past an old stone cottage, where Old Jacob lives. Old Jacob frightens Lolly silly, but unless she overcomes her fear, she’ll never get Knocker ready for the show.

Now that she’s moved to Keynford, Lolly has a five mile journey to visit her pony, Knocker. She’s not too keen on her stepfather, Hiram, either. When Lolly finds a new home for Knocker, he’s not at all keen on it – just as reluctant to adapt to new situations as is Lolly.
