The amazing story of Buch Brennaman. He grew up in an abusive household with his father. After his mother passed away he is taken from his father after his wounds of abuse are seen. He is put into a home that is a running ranch and comes to know love and care. He goes on to become a horse trainer. He uses what he has done through to train horses and humans. He has an amazing way of seeing what both have gone through. His story is amazing.

He is such an admirable person! I don’t know horses well enough to really benefit from this book but I enjoyed it anyways.
