Throughout the year that followed, Shy Boy grew to love life on the farm, playfully demanding attention and becoming fascinated by children. During a year of challenges and one frightening illness, the wild horse earned the respect and admiration of his trainers-he had exceptional spirit.

Yet throughout Shy Boy's year of fame, Monty Roberts was asked, "Would Shy Boy rather be free?" With trepidation, he took Shy Boy back to the wild to let him choose: Go with your herd, or stay with humans...". Hard Cover. As New/Near Fine. more information
