Like Harpo, Gerald Hiken as Strider trots out a herd of hilarious facial contortions as he narrates his own sad story. Born a piebald--spotted with two colors--Strider can outrace but not outgrace his rival, Darling the stallion, who leaps and pirouettes with Baryshnikov's physical elegance. Strider loses his love and his potency when he receives harsh punishment from his masters for raping his girlfriend/mare. Then commence several years of gentility and peace with Prince Serpuhosky and the glory of winning a fantastic race against a fierce opponent. But Strider's fortunes collapse again and he returns finally...

He found Scottish Lowlanders employing litigation as a modern substitute for clan feuds, Welshmen thinking more about "minstrels, ash trees and scansion" than anything else, Cornish gypsies habitually "poovin' the grays" (pasturing their horses at night in somebody else's field). At the Hare and Hounds in Chip-shop, Devon, the customers like to sing hymns while they drink...
