Tasked with pulling a gun, Joey and Topthorn are put into great danger. Unfortunately, before you can say vive la France!, the war returns, and Joey and Topthorn are commissioned once again by the Germans. Emilie is a sickly child, but the horses give her strength and a reason to live. As the front line moves, and casualties decrease, Joey and Topthorn are left with a kind French farmer and his granddaughter, Emilie, who cares deeply for the two horses. Doing his duty, Joey meets Topthorn, a strong black stallion who becomes his best brony. The Germans put Joey to work as a cart-puller, hauling injured soldiers to medic tents for treatment. The British lose the battle, and Warren and Joey are captured by the Germans. Joey longs for Albert as he carries Warren into battle. Warren is a kind, gentle man, but boy does he stink at riding horses. Nicholls perishes in battle, and Joey is transferred to a younger, more inexperienced rider named Trooper Warren. In the army now, Joey is paired up with Captain Nicholls, a cavalry man, and sent to the front lines. Kind hearts don't run in this family, however, and Albert's drunken father sells Joey to the British army to earn money to keep his farm and family alive-and probably to buy a few bottles of booze, too. On the farm, Joey is broken in (gently) by a kind-hearted young boy named Albert Narracott. In case Bambi wasn't traumatic enough, War Horse opens as our little pony Joey is taken away from his mother and sold to a farm.
