It is difficult to move to a new country with different traditions and a completely different language. She loves visiting the neighbors Aunt Cor and Uncle Siem, who run a riding school, and at first Winkys only friend is a pony. Her biggest dream becomes to have her own horse, but where should she get one from? Her parents certainly cannot afford it. One day at school, Winky hears about Saint Nicholas, who resembles Santa Claus a great deal. He comes every year riding on a horse and gives gifts to nice children on his birthday, December 5, and when she learns that he will soon come to town, she suddenly fancies a glimmer of hope: she must wish for a horse from Saint Nicholas. Her father is very skeptical, but what does he know about the customs of this country? When Saint Nicholas arrives at the school and gives her a piece of toy, Winky runs out of the classroom in tears and into the school yard, where she finds a large, beautiful white horse tied to her bicycle. "He still gave me a horse" She rides it home without knowing anything about the chaos and drama that will follow in its wake... Region code 2 Edition Runtime in minutes 90 Production year 2005
