Year of the Black Pony tells the story of the Fellows family, who are struggling to make a living while homesteading in the Oregon high desert during the early 1900s.  The narrative focuses on 12-year-old Chris, who finds solace in watching a neighbor’s scarcely broken black pony amidst the challenges faced by his family, including his father’s struggles with farming and his younger sister’s chronic illness.
