The Wild One

Kit Hunter returns to Colonel Hamden's home, Moor Grange, soon after her mother's death. Kit fondly recalls the wonderful times she had at Moor Grange as a child and eagerly anticipates her arrival at her childhood refuge.

Kit's arrival is marred by Colonel Hamden's rude secretary, Miss Ashford, who seems to dominate Colonel Hamden completely. Even worse, Moor Grange has fallen upon hard times, and Colonel Hamden may soon have to sell his home. Kit learns from Mary Trent, who cares for the Colonel's horses, that Colonel Hamden lost his fortune when his cross-breeding experiments failed.

The Wild One is the only surviving horse from the Colonel's experiments. The Wild One still roams the moors, and Kit hopes to find this magnificent horse. If Kit succeeds, she can prove that the Colonel's experiments were successful, and the Colonel can regain his prosperity.
