Summary:  This is the story about a little horse who hasn't been out to meet the world yet. He feels the wind and wants to run after it so his Mama and Papa let him go. He chases the wind looking for adventure as he sees other animals and then smells the ocean. He runs in the shallow part of the sea and plays in the water with other sea animals. The he sees his Mama and Papa and they run home together all to do it again tomorrow. The story rhymes and is really cute for younger students. It would be good to use if teaching about horses or entering a new world for the first time.
