Steve
Morgan (Tudor Owen) owns a farm and stables, and the local children pay to ride
his ponies among them are Rod and Donny Blaine (Stephen Wootton and Gary Hunley).
But
Steve is an imbittered man still grieving the loss of his son in WW2, and his
conversations with Postman Homer Link (Forrest Taylor) he is clearly cynical
about life in general and Christmas in particular.
Rod
and Donny both want a pony for Christmas, but their parents Julia and Austin (Dorothy
Green and Chick Chandler) can only afford one, because of a gift of money from an
aunt.
But
when Rod goes to buy the horse, he stuns Mr Morgan by buying the Shetland for
his brother, so Mr Morgans heart is softened by the boys' sacrifice, he makes a
gift of the other horse.
