Mia is determined to get her horse, Bella, back on her feet after an injury and enters a local riding competition in hope of winning some funds for her beloved animal.
The episode begins with Mia and her friends, Andrea, Emma, Olivia, and Stephanie, spending some time together at Heartlake City's local pet adoption center. While there, the girls witness a family surrendering their injured horse, Bella, to the center. Mia is heartbroken upon seeing the injured horse and immediately takes it upon herself to care for it.
Mia spends all her free time at the center, taking care of Bella and getting her back to full health. When she finds out about a local horse riding competition that offers a $2000 prize, she decides to enter it on Bella to earn the funds she needs to continue caring for her.
The competition poses a challenge for Mia and Bella, as they encounter a fierce competitor in cowboy Trevor, who has his sights set on winning, whatever the cost. While Mia and Bella struggle with the competition's difficult tasks, Trevor seems to have no problems.
Adding to the pressure, Mia meets a boy named Daniel, who is training one of the horses for the competition. It quickly becomes clear that Daniel has a mutual interest in Mia, but she is too focused on the competition to pay him much attention.
As they progress through the competition's events, Mia and Bella find themselves falling behind. In the final event, a race, Mia and Bella are paired against Trevor, who resorts to cheating in order to win. However, Mia and Bella's bond proves to be stronger than Trevor's cheating, and they manage to win the race and the competition, earning the funds to continue caring for Bella.
In the end, Mia and Daniel share a moment and share their mutual interest in each other. The episode concludes with the girls returning to the pet adoption center to spend time with the animals before leaving to attend a dance party.
Overall, "Mia's Ranch Romance" explores the themes of dedication and perseverance through the character of Mia and her love for animals. Additionally, the episode introduces the theme of young love and crushes through Mia's interactions with Daniel.
