In the heart of a bright, bustling farm, a sweet, chalk-white miniature horse named Marshmallow dreams of finding a friend while his little girl, Maxine, is away at school. Feeling lonely and left out, Marshmallow wanders from chickens laying eggs to sheep being shorn, cows providing milk, and even goats clearing fields, he soon is saddened to realize that every animal on the farm is too busy to play; the other animals all have unique abilities and roles. Everyone seems to have a purpose, but what about Marshmallow?

Just when Marshmallow is feeling his saddest, the yellow school bus pulls up-and Maxine is back! She reminds Marshmallow that after months of training to be a Therapy Horse, today is their very first big visit to the children's hospital.
