Resumen del Editor

Last Chance Mustang is the story of Samson, a formerly free-roaming, still wild-at-heart American mustang that was plucked from his mountainous Nevada home and thrown into the domestic horse world, where he was brutalized and victimized. After years of abuse, Samson had evolved into a hateful and hated, maladjusted beast - until the day he found his way to a rural Illinois farm, an ill-equipped owner, and one last chance.

Mitch Bornstein's task was to tame the violent beast whose best defense had become offense. He had 20 years of experience fixing unfixable horses, but Samson would be his greatest challenge. Through the pair's many struggles and countless battles, Samson would teach Mitch about the true power of hope, friendship, redemption, and the inspiring mettle of the forever wild and free American mustang.

Outstanding

Could not stop listening. Captivating story. I feel very emitionally connected to the wild horses. This book helps to shed light on the problems and the beauty of free spirit of the wild horses.

wonderful book

loved the story of Sampson, it made me laugh and it made me cry.
The information given about how the American mustangs have been murdered is just horrible it's unbelievable that people can be so cruel and ruthless.
God will judge those who have done such cruelty to his innocent beautiful creatures

Beautiful story of mutual respect

Loved and admire the story depicting the two and their mutual admiration. Lots of history and information on the flight of the wild mustang.

Any additional comments?

I'm glad I found this book and wish everyone would read it.

Wonderful book

I loved the story of Samson and his trainer who would not give up on him. It is the story of abandonment and healing that touched me deeply. It will you too.

A good must read

Story is more than about a horse, but of Mustang horses as a whole. Every living thing deserves patients and kindness

A story true to its title

Lots to learn listening to this book
Fair warning for animal lovers this book is a TOUGH listen! It's graphic details regarding the decimation of our beautiful mustangs is really hard to hear but a necessary truth if we are to right the wrongs that have occurred over the last century.
I would love to have had a seat on the fence and witnessed Samson's training first hand! Mitch is one talented and brave trainer who admits learning as much from Samson as he did from Mitch. Overall a great story and one that needs to be heard and read far and wide so more "Samsons" are left where they belong....wild and FREE!

WOW

I love this book, and plan on buying it for my other horsey friends. I love the way it was written, and how I learned so much more about the plight of mustangs, while enjoying the story of a Mustang that had no future, coming to terms with his past, and learning to move past the trauma that humankind heaped on him.

Great read

Pulls you in right from the beginning and keeps you engaged in the moving story of man and horse.
