His father can't help but to sell Stallone out of poverty where Thawai becomes sick with pangs of separation from the horse. Unable to see Thawai's suffering, all including the coach, mentor, and family members try to bring back the Stallone. The owner, who used to be a great polo player, finally hands over the pony to Thawai for the love of the game.
