Forced apart by the Great Equestrian War, Carter writes love letters to his marefriend, Amily, who lives in Trottingham. She never writes properly back to him, instead sending a small gift and short note. They grow more and more distant every day, even though they both love each other. But when Carter discovers the secret that makes Amily almost unresponsive, he travels back to Trottingham-and discovers an even more shocking secret.

Prologue

Dear Sir Carter O'Bravanagh,

As you may have already heard, all Equestria has broken out in sudden war. This is terrible news, and saddening as it may seem, we need to be strong and fight against Cloudsdale for territory and all-race civilisation.

That is why we are sending this telegram to you. We need brave, strong stallions between the ages of 5 to 17years, and they need to be approximately 7 to 11 hands high. You must be willing to engage in battle.

Sign-ups are occurring from the eve of Winter Wrap Up in every village, and if you are accepted as a War Horse you will be notified within a week.

Sincerely,

Sturdy Helmet

Captain of the Guard at the Royal Palace in Canterlot.
