Description
Run Rikki Run is an allegory about the coming of age experience featuring a young race horse. Rikki, a young race horse, finds himself faced with the reality that his days of playing in the pasture are over and he must now enter the world of competitive racing where he will be judged by his performance. But what if he loses? In desperation, he turns to his friends for advice, but their answers only complicate his situation. Finally, at the peak of his crisis, Rikki discovers a solution to his fear from a very unlikely source. Run Rikki Run is a timeless story about the transitions in life when change in inevitable. Everyone must grow up, but the fear of failure is very real and must be overcome to allow people to reach their full potential.
