Princess Pinecone wants a warhorse for her birthday because she sees herself as a warrior. Instead, she receives a plump, very cute pony, which disappoints her at first. The pony’s cuteness proves unexpectedly useful during a fight involving dodgeballs, spitballs, hairballs, and squareballs. The story sets Pinecone’s wish for a battle-ready horse against the surprising abilities of the pony she gets.
