mustang

Mitch Bornstein has spent twenty years as a horse trainer working with damaged, abused, and difficult horses. In that time he thought he had met just about every kind of dangerous horse there is. But he was wrong. When he met a former American wild mustang named Samson, who hated everyone and everything and wasn't afraid to show it, he knew he had a problem. Samson had lost his freedom six years ago but still acted as the wild stallion he had been, and because of abuse suffered at the hands of previous owners, he was thought to be untrainable. But Bornstein eventually bonded with Samson over the course of a year, and learned to appreciate the greatness of a wild American mustang.
