-[neighing] -[Issie] You think she's ready?

That's the first time you've asked the right question. Give it a try.

-[Natasha] What? -No way.

Why is Dan so hung up on this internship thing anyway?

He's always been obsessed with being a vet.

Julia, could you get back to me, please?

-He doesn't know yet? -He doesn't need to know.

And you're looking very smart there, the Dulmoth Ladies.

This place is the worst.

I'm gay. You can't tell anyone though.

You haven't told anyone else?

I have these dreams about a ship. There are horses.

There was a shipwreck here.

The horses, they made it to land though.

But they died out long ago.

I think they might still be here.

[ethereal music plays]

[nickering]

[neighing]

[machine distantly rumbling]

[gasps]

[phone ringing]

Hey, Iz! You look terrible.

-Thanks. -Were you asleep?

Yeah.

I just had this really insane dream.

Was it the one where you are a Blue Peter presenter?

No, I haven't had that since I was 11.

This was about an old railway track.

-[Anisha] Oh, yeah? -And the… the horse was in it.

The ghost horse? Again?

Babe, it sounds like you're losing it.

No, I'm not! Dreams can be signs.

And now you've gone spiritual.

-No, I haven't! -Hilarious.

Okay, well, I need to go, so--

-Okay. -See you.

Yeah.

-[Amanda distantly] Issie! -[sighs]

[Jake] Hey.

Mum said you hadn't any brekky.

What's all this?

Revision, for the equine first-day test today.

Uh. I don't know why you put yourself through it.

So I can apply for the internship in Australia, Dad.

Ah, go ahead. I'll test you.

Okay. Uh, how many… legs has a horse got?

-[Jake laughs] -Ah, funny, Dad! Thanks.

Oh, come on!

I mean, what are your chances of actually getting this internship anyway?

-Sounds like a long-shot to me. -Thanks for that.

I'm just trying to save you some heartache, son.

What? You're off to take it now?

Oh, it's at three. I've just got a lot of chores at the stables first.

Oh, well… Good luck, Einstein.

[Jake laughing]

What's the point?

Forget it.

[woman] That's it! Take your line.

No way!

Check out that water jump.

[woman] Keep the propulsion!

Bianca's gonna take it.

So this is what they've been hiding!

Ah, trust them with park.

-Caroline will hate that. -Everyone will hate that.

[woman] So got this competition in the bag!

-Okay, so she's, like, not fazed at all. -Yeah.

So easy.

-Hey! Are you two spying on us? -Come on, run!

Hey!

Do you know where--

Is there a railway track around here?

Yeah, I think there's supposed to be an old logging track?

Oh, really? Where is it?

Um, not sure. Somewhere out in the forest, I think.

Around… Here, maybe?

Why?

I just thought I'd… check it out.

Okay, I kind of saw it.

In a vision? Cool. What happened?

Well, there was a railway track…

and Blaze was there-- Oh, and loads of the others.

What do you mean, others?

-Other horses like her. -[Caroline] Like a herd?

Yeah, I guess?

Are you saying Blaze is wild?

Maybe.

What? Like, the Kauri Point Herd?

I thought they were a myth.

Well, I'm still gonna look for them.

-I feel like I'm supposed to or something. -Okay.

[Issie] I can cycle up here, right?

[Caroline] Up there? No way.

Hey, you should take Blaze. She'd be like a tracker.

But I've never gone out of the stables on Blaze-- I mean, without Tom.

You'll be sweet. I'll come with you!

-Really? -Yeah, let's go find us some ghost horses!

[Natasha] Trust them to put a water jump in the cross-country trials.

Where is everyone?

Oh, maybe they're practicing for it.

[phone ringing]

-Yo. -[Caleb] Where are you?

Issie had a vision and Blaze might be part of the Kauri Point Herd,

so we've taken Blaze and Treacle to find them.

What? Did you say Blaze? Issie's on Blaze?

Oh, do you know where the old logging track is?

-What logging track? -The one Dad used to go on about?

The one they used to take out the Kauri forest?

Oh, isn't it out by the swimhole?

Oh, swimhole. Oh yeah, okay, cool! Thanks.

No, but, Caroline--

-Hey. -What?

So apparently, my sister's gone off to find the Kauri Point Herd with Issie.

I thought the Kauri Point Herd died off, like, ages ago.

Well, I thought so, but apparently, Issie's had a vision.

-And Issie's gone on Blaze? -She's riding Blaze?

That horse is totally unpredictable.

She thinks Blaze is one of the herd, so…

-[Dan] What? -Yeah, it sounds pretty nuts.

-Well then, better go after them. -Don't you have your exam today?

Yeah, yeah, no-- Yeah, no, it's not till later.

-[Caroline] You okay? -[Issie] Yeah.

Yeah, just trying to remember everything Dan said.

Heels down, thumbs on top.

-Eyes open. -[Caroline laughs]

I know I'm going slow. Sorry.

You just got to believe you're an amazing rider.

You gotta relax.

Yeah, that's easy for you to say!

[Caroline] Fake it till you make it. That's what I did.

[Issie] Wow!

-It's amazing you guys can do this, just-- -[Caroline] What?

[Issie] Take up on a horse,

go where the wind takes you kind of thing.

It's so peaceful!

[Caleb] Caroline! Oy!

[Natasha] Caught you!

[Issie] Oh, what? What are they doing here?

The joy riders!

-Hey! Stella not with you?

[Natasha] Nah, Hamish has a game today.

It's a bit unfair, isn't it? How she has to go to all of his million games?

And he never comes to watch her ride.

Well, that might change soon!

Why?

I kind of wracked him up at the marae.

-Did you? -[Caroline laughs]

-What are you all doing here? -We could ask the same, you lunatics.

Well, it's my fault.

I think Blaze has a herd, and I think they're around here.

Yeah, we heard you had one of your visions.

Come on, then. Let's check it out.

-You guys are coming? -Yeah, of course!

-Hardout! -Hardout.

Look at you, blending in.

-Yup! Kiwi-as. -[Caleb] Kiwi-as.

Hey, are you still blending?

Yeah. Not ready to shout about it yet.

Caroline's the loud one.

Hm.

Well, you should be the proud one.

Come on, Blaze. Come on.

How come you and Issie are besties all of a sudden?

We're not! We're just friends.

[Natasha] I mean, we were kind of spying on them.

-[Caleb] The course looked really tough. -There's this hideous water jump.

-[Caroline] Really? -[Issie] Why? Is that a bad thing?

Can be. I mean, you don't want to fall off in it.

And Dulmoth Park is smashing it.

It's okay! We got Caroline.

Yeah! Don't worry, guys. I can take Bianca.

Hey, Iz!

You're about to see the swim hole.

[Dan] Seriously, it's awesome.

Yeah, get ready to be totally blown away.

-Oh. -[Dan] No swimming. Contaminated water.

If contact with skin occurs, seek medical advice?

-[Natasha] What? -Could be an algae bloom.

No, it doesn't look like an algae bloom.

Must have just happened. We were here like a month ago!

That is so sad. I grew up in the swim hole.

You know what I mean!

Yeah, good call, Iz.

Hang on. What is that?

[Dan] Dead bees.

They're all dead.

Not surprised. They probably drank the water.

Ah, I wonder if that's why Gran's bees have been dying.

That is so sad.

Why? I mean, it's just a bunch of dead bees.

Natasha! Bees are critical.

They pollinate 33% of the food that you eat,

and 80% of flowering plants.

-Yeah, and he's 100% boring facts. -[Caleb] What?

That's why he's so good at exams!

[Caleb] And I work hard. How do you think I know all the facts?

[Caroline] You were born like that!

Like, a tiny baby Einstein.

Hey, Dan, your test! We've got to get back.

No, I told you it's not till later!

Okay… I'm just reminding you.

[Issie] Hey! Over here.

Guys, I think I found it.

Wait, so this is the place?

No, but…

Let's follow it!

[soft music plays]

Anything seem familiar?

No, not really. Maybe a bit further along?

Oh.

The track just ended. Maybe we should head back?

But, I--

Easy, Blaze. Easy, Blaze.

Easy, Blaze! No, no, no, no! Hey!

[fast-paced orchestral music plays]

[Caroline] Issie!

[Issie] Caroline!

Please, help! [crying] Please!

Relax! Just relax!

I can't!

Loosen the reigns a bit, try to hold the mane!

[Issie] Caroline, I can't. Help!

She's feeling your tension! Just breathe!

Easy, Blaze! Easy!

[panicked panting]

There you go! Great!

-[neighing loudly] -[Issie screams]

-[Issie] Caroline, please! -You're leaning back!

Don't lean back! And keep your legs under you!

That's it!

There you go.

Great! Well done.

I can't believe how fast Blaze is.

[Dan] Nice one, London.

[pensive music plays]

[Issie] Wait…

Hang on.

This is it.

This is the place!

[Issie laughs quietly]

Blaze and the other horses, they were right here!

Weren't you?

I can't believe she brought you here.

That's incredible!

So, where are they?

This herd?

I don't know.

I don't understand it, but this is definitely the place I saw.

I have deja vu all the time.

I always think I've been places before when I haven't.

-No, but-- -Yeah, brains are weird!

Sure.

[discordant notes crescendo]

[horses neighing]

Wait, wait.

Look.

Horse hair.

And there's more over here!

Chewed bark.

They were here!

Hey, I think she's right.

See? They do exist.

But they've gone now.

They might come back.

-Maybe we should leave Blaze here. -But what if they don't?

Yeah, I don't think they've been here for a while.

Look, they're not here now, and Dan needs to get back for his test.

Oh, yeah. But we can't just forget about the herd.

This place is huge. We could be wandering around for days.

Hey, Issie, we could get our Dad's drone!

Good luck asking for it.

It's in a box in the garage. Mum confiscated it.

We can fly it over the forest. That'll be better!

That would be amazing. Thanks.

Come on, then.

We will find them. I promise.

[sighs]

[Issie] I can't believe Blaze is from a herd of wild horses.

[Caleb] Although, we're not a hundred percent on that.

[Dan] I can't believe the Kauri Point Herd still exists.

[Natasha] We should tell Tom.

[Caroline] Yeah, he's still looking for Blaze's owner.

[Natasha] You want to tell him we took the horses beyond the swim hole?

-[Dan] Uh, no, thanks. -Hi!

Ah, I hate when you do that. It's so unsafe!

Yeah, stop showing off.

If you fall off and hurt yourself, you'll mess up the trials.

She's right, we need you.

We'll never qualify for the champs without you.

Nah, you're sweet.

So what else can you do?

Can you tell the future? Are we going to win cross-country trials?

No, I mean, it's not like that. They're more, like, pictures and sounds.

But they feel real.

Like, one time, there was a boat and a bell.

My Nan reckons Issie saw a shipwreck from years ago.

Yeah, it was like I was there. Like, it was happening to me.

Ah, it's hard to explain, and I know it sounds weird, but…

You know, I think I've seen Mystic's, like, memories or something.

So you're saying Mystic came from a shipwreck?

200 years ago.

-Well, that's out there. -Why would he show you that?

I don't know.

You okay, Caleb?

Yeah, I just--

[Caleb] There has to be an explanation. I just can't find it.

-That's cause it's magic! Bet! -I--

-Caroline! You-- -[Natasha scoffs] Is he rebooting?

[Caroline] Yeah, he'll be okay. He'll go back to factory settings.

[Natasha chuckles]

Hey guys, haven't we just done a massive circle?

[horses whinny]

You're right. We're back where we started.

[Natasha] Oh, great.

So we're lost.

[sighs]

-[Caleb] Anyone got a signal? -Haven't had it since the swim hole.

Hey, Dan. What time's your test?

-Three. But… -In KP?

-Greenfield. -Greenfield? That's miles away!

And we don't even know where we are!

Oh no, this is rubbish. I'm really sorry.

-It's-- It's okay. -No, it's not!

You're going to miss your test. It's all my fault.

-Look, it doesn't matter. It's all good. -All good? What are you talking about?

-You have to get back! -No, I don't!

-What? -Of course, you do!

Look, can you just-- I'm not doing it, okay?

-I already decided. -What? When?

-This morning, so just leave it. -But, wha-- why?

Because I can't-- Caleb does tests. I do horses.

Oh, there's more to you than that.

-Hello, I-- -You've got to give it a go, Dan.

But what if I mess up?

Yeah, you're right.

Better to give up, really. I mean, why try anything?

Why is this so important to all of you?

Because it's important to you, and we care, you idiot!

-Yeah! -I don't know.

It just seems like a waste of time.

-Dan… -I just-- I can't.

[all talking over each other]

Okay!

Okay.

-Really? -Yeah, you win.

Clearly, this is the only way I can get out of this bush alive.

Great.

That's if we can get out of this bush alive.

Don't panic, guys. I've got this.

I'm just going to get a bit higher.

Um, guys, can I just say, for the record, there is more to me than just tests.

Okay…

[Caleb] I do loads of other stuff, like--

[Dan] Caroline, be careful.

[Natasha] Whoa, whoa. Don't reach up there.

[all talking over each other]

I can see the swim hole, there!

-[Caroline] Whoa! -[tree limb creaking]

Chill out, guys!

-Oh, help, help, it's so dangerous. -Stop it, okay?

-That's dangerous. -Oh, don't lean forward--

[Caroline grunts]

-Ouch. -[Caleb] Caroline, are you all right?

[Caroline] I'm okay, but my shoulder…

[Issie gasps]

Stay still. I'll check if it's broken.

Ah!

Can you guys sing or dance or something?

Like, what?

Like, tell her a joke. Like distract her.

-Oh, uh… -Ah…

-I-- This is-- I don't-- -Oh! Who's this?

Who's this? Ready?

Caroline Burford, that's the most reckless riding I've ever seen.

[chuckles] It's Tom, duh.

That's nothing like Tom.

What accent was that? Ow!

Okay, I don't think it's broken, but it might be sprained.

You are so lucky. That could have been so much worse.

[pants and groans]

-[Caleb] You okay, Caz? -[Caroline] Yeah, should be fine.

There you go.

Nice one, Dr. Dan. Maybe you're not as useless as you think.

-Maybe not. -Guys, Dan is running out of time.

Okay, okay, let's go.

-[Dan] Tom is going to kill me. -[Issie] Dan, quickly, go!

I'll put Charlie away for you.

-[Caleb] No, I'll do it. -Okay.

Okay, I haven't done the mucking out, or the horses, or anything.

-It's fine, we've got it. Just go. -Just leave it and go!

-[Dan] Thank you, thank you! -[all] Good luck!

[Natasha] Tom's gonna go crazy if he sees the stables like this.

Remember, fake it till you make it! Bye!

Road closed? Why, what's happened?

Damage, from the Hexronn trucks.

Wait, can't you just let me go through? Please, I'm running late.

-Sorry, bro. Hands tied. -Come on!

[phone game dinging]

Finally! Where have you all been?

-What happened to your arm? -Long story. Did they win?

-Yup. -[Caroline] Did Hamish score?

-Yup. -[Natasha] So they won their group?

-Yup. -Hey, do you wanna help with Dan's chores?

-Nope. -That was rhetorical.

What?

Come on! Up you go.

[girls laughing]

-[Issie] Stella, can you take this?

-Be quick! Come on. -For Aramis and Charlie.

-[Stella] Come on, come on! -[Caroline] One sec.

Come on, Caleb. You're so slow!

Slow? You only have one arm, you hypocrite.

-Guys, I hear Tom. He's coming! -[car approaching]

Come on, come on!

[Issie] Caroline, your sling!

[Stella] Go, go, go, go!

[Issie] Right, act normal, okay?

[Tom] Whatever it is, I don't wanna know.

Exam in progress? No. No, please!

[sighs]

[melancholy music plays]

-You're back early. -Yeah.

I, um…

Why didn't you turn up?

-How do you know? -I'm your sponsor!

They called me.

Sorry.

[scoffs]

-[Caroline] Star? -[Natasha] No, sounds Australian.

Oh, same thing. Hey, Dan.

-You take that back right now! Dan! -Dan, you're back!

I didn't make it in time.

What about your internship? Don't you need to pass that test to apply?

Yeah.

He's got one more chance.

-I do? -Sweet.

No, not sweet.

It's next Saturday.

But that's cross-country trials. We can't enter without five riders.

No, you can't.

[Caroline] So, Dan has to choose.

That's not fair.

Yeah, well, he should've thought about that.

I can't let you guys down.

-You should take the test, bro. -Yeah.

So now we've got no chance at qualifying for the champs.

Ah, Dulmoth Park are gonna love this.

-Or Issie could do it. -What?

You were great on Blaze today.

-That is true. -That's true. Like, you fully were.

-Seriously. -No, no, no, no. I am not ready for this.

You keep going on about how impossible the course is,

and what about that terrifying water jump?

You've been riding round on a wild horse. I mean, you basically tamed her!

It's not a bad idea.

Look, they wouldn't even count your score. They only take the top four.

Yeah, we just need to participate.

Yeah, and we can get you ready for it.

Come on, Issie. You'll do it, right?

Well, I guess I can try.

Yay! Oh my gosh, welcome to the KP team!

[girls laughing]

Caroline, any reason why Treacle still got his tack on?

Oh, I forgot because we had to do Dan's--

-I'll do it now! -Good of you.

[Issie whispers] Caroline!

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you able to ride like that? For the competition?

Yeah, of course. I'm fine.

Honestly!

Okay.
