George Gillepsie grows up in the wild New England ranges of Australia. He is his father's son, like him becoming a highly skilled hordeman. His ability to tame the wildest horse becomes the stuff of legends.

In 1915, he and his brothers depart for Egypt with the Australian Light Horse to take part in the battles against the Turks. 

It is a tough campaign at Galipolli and in Palestine, and, along the way he is jilted by his girl at home, loses his three brothers to the war, and finds another love, only to lose her as well.

Back in Australia, he continues his love affair with his horses. The sadness of his losses stays with him always, through the great depression and hard times, before he finds himself embroiled in another war.

Finally, he reconnects with his former financee and they find, in middle age, a love and comfort neither had expected.

This is a story of a man and his horses and his full and adventurous life. Here, the horses are the real heros.
