A great children's book. It's about the Boy and the Horse (no actual names are given in this story); The boy that can't talk but somehow manages to calm and slowly train a blind wild horse. I love how the horse and boy communicated even though neither could speak, and how patient the boy was with the horse.
Only issue is that I read the first two books right before reading this one, and there is zero explanation in this one of how the horse was no longer at the previous ranch with Whitey and the old timer and the dog. I realize it's a few years later, but it just seemed like a big gap to me and super obvious if you are someone who read all of these in a row.
