What a weird world grown-ups live in!

Our heroine's favorite toy is her stuffed horse Totor. One day, her grandfather makes her dreams come true and takes her to see real horses at a racetrack. She's overjoyed! But she soon finds out no one here hugs the horses. The horses are just about money for them. Their coats shine, but still one of them seems off, another can't stop trembling, and still another is always kicking. Pencil-and-gouache illustrations of great power bring to life this reflection on the relationship between humans and animals when the bottom line is the lure of profit.
