Linda desperately wants a new barrel racing horse and talks her father into taking her to the local livestock auction in the hopes of finding one there, but when she sets eyes on the beautiful, and very pregnant, palomino filly named "Easter," all dreams of barrel racing fly out the window. All too quickly Doc Martin becomes a regular visitor to the McCloud family farm, leaving Linda's father to wonder just what he'd done. When Mother Nature enters into the mix, hope comes in an unlikely form.
