Young Albert enlists to serve in World War I after his beloved horse is sold to the cavalry. Albert's hopeful journey takes him out of England and to the front lines as the war rages on. In 1912, a teenage boy named Albert Narracott witnesses the birth of a Bay Thoroughbred foal and subsequently watches with admiration the growth of the young horse, galloping through the fields at his mother's side. Albert's father Ted buys the colt at auction, despite a friend pointing out a more suitable plow horse for his farm. Ted promises to pay rent to Mr Lyons by plowing and planting a stony hillside field with turnips. Albert names the horse Joey and devotes much time to training him. However, a rainstorm destroys the turnip crop, so Ted sells Joey to the young cavalry officer Captain James Nicholls as the First World War starts.
