About This Book

The narrative traces a range-born colt's life from its wobbly first steps through capture and training by a rider who sees and develops the animal's native abilities. It follows the horse's struggles with saddles, ropes, bucking and human harshness, and its later displays of trust and daring in public performances. A succession of handlers and trials alters the animal's fortunes while the account examines loyalty, the demands of horsemanship, and the deep, sometimes fraught bond that can form between a horse and the humans who shape its fate.
