The herd is growing, which has many repercussions on the ranch. Rich, Gloria and Pan have purchased thirty new horses, all of which need to be broken in. One of those horses will be Gloria's new horse. To show up Pan, she chooses the wildest of the bunch, one of which Pan would even admit to being just a little scared. Gloria has to perform magic to tame her new steed, who she's named Steinway (she wanted something "grand"). One other manifestation of the increasing herd is that they need more land converted to hay fields for feed. The entire conversion process is no easy task. They have two weeks - the time of the first frost - to clear the land, harrow the new field and plant the hay. Rich decides that they need to construct a large combination harrow/disker to get that job done faster, an idea which Pan considers hair-brained. If they go through with Rich's plan - one fraught with potential disasters - and it doesn't work, they could lose the herd and their entire dream.
