Silpheed is a horse born on a small horse ranch. Even though he is named for a fairie wind he must overcome the handicap of having been born with tendinitis of the leg, and the loss of his mother in his birth. Hayao, the young boy who loves horses, is determined to see Silpheed grow up healthy and become a top racer like his mother once was - with him as the jockey, even when Hayao's dad does not allow him to be so.
