Mandy Hope loves animals and knows lots about them too - both her parents are vets! So Mandy's always able to help her friends with their pet problems . . .
There's always a donkey race at the Welford Spring Fair. But Lightning, the fastest donkey in Welford, has just had a foal and can't race this year. Mandy doesn't want Lightning and her baby, Raindrop, to miss out on the fun, so she suggests that they come along to watch the race instead. But Lightning has other ideas . . .
