Hairy Trotter is an unusual pegasus. When he got his cutie mark, he was so young that he can't remember what his true destiny was. A little egocentric, he assumes that his destiny is to become one of the best fliers ever. While in Canterlot to audition for the Wonderbolts, Hairy meets Donald Wheat, a farmer who was always outshined by his older brothers and Miley Gray, a purebred unicorn who is very clever, bossy and slightly racist. Hairy thinks that things can't get any worse when he and Don are forced into helping Miley complete a dangerous task. However, a villian once thought dead returns to haunt Hairy, while he struggles to accept a past that his godfather lied to him about.
