Eagle Flies Over Hills is the first horse the Blackfoot Nation has ever had. And Kit Fox wants to be the first person to ride him. But the elders refuse her request, saying it is a job for a warrior, not a mere girl. So every morning she sneaks to the horse, calms and soothes it, and eventually learns how to ride. Her people are afraid that the horse will destroy their way of life. But when their deadly enemies, the Snake threaten to annihilate them, Kit Fox knows that only she and Eagle Flies Over Hills can help. The question is--will they be in time?
