The story

Wyoming ranchers Rob and Nell McLaughlin somewhat reluctantly decide to give their 10-year-old son, Ken, a chance to raise a horse and learn about responsibility. Rob is disappointed in his son when he shows him his poor grades while he was at boarding school. He chooses a one-year-old chestnut mustang filly and names her Flicka, which ranch hand Gus informs him is a Swedish word for "girl".
