Fifteenth Summer

Roaming free along the barrier islands of coastal North Carolina live wild horses known as Outer Banks ponies. They can be seen grazing on marsh grass along the shore by residents of Beaufort who are proud and protective toward their neighbors across Taylor's Creek.

Summer visitors come to watch and photograph these ponies which have captured the hearts and imagination of horse lovers of all ages.

In "Fifteenth Summer," people along the waterfront and on upstairs porches watch as volunteers attempt to rescue a foal in danger of losing its life. Sarah and Joshua Bowers watch anxiously as their grandfather, too, is suddenly in danger.
