This is a unique and beautifully written story. I'm so glad I hung on to my copy from the 1960s, which I got as part of a horse book mail-order club as a kid. It's powerful and touching and uplifting, with deftly drawn characters--and even the horse has a distinct personality, unlike so many of the other "Majestic Stallions" that run rampant through horse books. This book deserves to be reprinted and made into a movie!
