A father and his only daughter find an abandoned zebra on the road one night during a violent thunderstorm. The zebra has been left behind by a circus that visited there.

Feeling sorry for the poor animal they take him home and look after him. He is just a baby so they need to care for him on their small farm. The fathers name is 'Nolan Walsh,' and his daughter is called 'Channing.' Nolan was once a horse trainer but is now leading a quiet life looking after his daughter and their few animals. These are a Shetland Pony named Tucker and Franny an old goat, a Goose, a pelican and Lightening a hound.

The farm stand on the border of the Turfway Racetrack where highly skilled thoroughbreds compete for horse racing's top honor, the ultra-prestigious Kentucky Crown.

As soon as the zebra called 'Stripes,' sees the track he believes he can compete again the thoroughbreds and win the race. What he doesn't know is he's not a horse. Despite this he begins training with a little help from Tucker who has coached a host of champion racehorses in the past.

The nice part of the film is that it is an animal talking film and all the animals talk and give their opinions on things that happen. It is a great family film and well worth watching. I watched it with my children and they loved it to the extent that they wanted me to buy a baby zebra.
