The Sunset Trail
A wild-west adventure about a small rider, a patient pony and a herd of very lost sheep
Every sheep in Sundown Valley has wandered off, and the only rider small enough to fit through the canyon is your child. With a pony called Biscuit and a very long rope, they ride the sunset trail, find the sheep one by one, and bring the whole flock home before the stars come out.

“The Sunset Trail” is a personalized wild-west adventure where your child is the rider, by name and by face, and the whole valley is counting on them.
The sheep have wandered, the grown-ups' horses are too big for the narrow canyon, and so your child saddles a pony called Biscuit and sets off. One sheep is on a ledge, one is in the river, one is asleep in a cactus's shadow, one has made friends with a coyote. Each rescue is small, kind and a little bit funny, and each one teaches Biscuit and your child to trust each other a little more. The final spreads bring the flock through the town gate at dusk, with the whole of Sundown Valley clapping.

None. There is a pony, a rope, a canyon, a herd of lost sheep and a coyote who turns out to be lonely rather than dangerous. The adventure is about patience, kindness to animals and bringing everyone home.
