Where Is Winky’s Horse?

Winky and her family live in the Netherlands after immigrating from China, helping at her father's Chinese restaurant while she cares for Amerigo at Tante Cor and Oom Siem's equestrian facility. She is trusted with looking after the Sinterklaas horse, yet her small size prevents her from riding him for now. The arrangement fuels both her longing to ride and her determination to belong in this new country.

On her birthday, Cor surprises Winky with riding lessons aboard Naf-Naf, a pony. The lesson marks a turning point as she steps closer to the dream of riding and being part of the equestrian world. Cor's support shows her that her ambitions can be pursued despite the barriers she faces.

At home, Winky learns that her mother is pregnant and will welcome a new sibling. Her mother grows ill and is hospitalized due to pre-eclampsia. The family braces for the changes a baby will bring while Winky waits for updates about her mother in the hospital.

At school, Bram catches Winky's attention with his fascination for Indian culture. The two quickly become friends, introducing a new cultural dynamic into her everyday life. This budding friendship adds a new thread to her experiences in the Netherlands.

Sometime later, Winky goes to the equestrian facility to find Cor and Siem gone and secretly rides Amerigo. Bram arrives with his dog Winnetou, which spooks Amerigo and causes Winky to fall. She confronts Bram about the incident, and he runs off.

Realizing she could get in trouble, Winky searches for Bram but finds no trace. She later tells Cor and Siem what happened, and they reassure her that Bram will eventually return. The event leaves her weighing the risks of secrecy against her desire to connect with Bram.

Winky's father informs her that her mother has given birth to a girl named Ling. The arrival of a new sister reshapes the family dynamics as everyone adjusts to the changing household. Winky contemplates her own place within the growing family.

Bram tries to talk with Winky, but she initially ignores him. After speaking with delivery driver Samir, who shares a similar breakup story with Sofie, she decides to reconcile with Bram, and he offers to help search for Amerigo. Their renewed partnership fuels the quest to bring the horse back home.

During the village parade, Winky notices Amerigo's red lint on a motorcycle. Sofie explains that the motorcycle belongs to Oom Jacob, a horse enthusiast, reframing the mystery. Winky chases after the bike but misses it.

Samir offers Winky a ride to his home, and they team up to track Amerigo to Jacob's backyard. They finally locate the horse and bring him back home. The search strengthens their bond and resolves the tension surrounding Amerigo's absence.

Sinterklaas and his Zwarte Pieten arrive at the equestrian facility, and they are delighted to learn that Amerigo foaled a colt. The community celebrates the return of the horse and the new life in his lineage. Winky feels a sense of joy and relief at the successful reunion.

Winky writes a letter expressing gratitude that Amerigo has returned. The note marks a turning point, reinforcing her belief in family, friendship, and the possibility of pursuing her riding dreams. It stands as a quiet, hopeful closure to the village's festive upheaval.
