Mystic is set in the fictional peninsula of Kauri Point, New Zealand where new girl Issie Brown (Macey Chipping), having recently moved to the quiet, backwater town from London with her mother Amanda (Laura Patch) is struggling to fit in. Desperately missing her pals back home, a chance encounter with a beautiful wild pony Blaze, and an enigmatic stallion, Mystic, awakens an unexpected and surprising interest in horses and introduces Issie to a group of horse-mad teenagers. When an industrial development threatens to destroy their community, their way of life and the landscape they love, the teenagers must find a way to save Kauri Point from environmental disaster.
The show ran for 3 series, with filming taking place on location in Auckland, New Zealand. The series was produced by Libertine Picture (NZ) and Slim Film + Television (UK) for CBBC (UK), Seven (Australia) and TVNZ (NZ).
