World-famous horse gentler Monty Roberts reveals the rapport he shares with a special horse: a wild mustang. In a gripping, intimate narrative, he relives their unique relationship, beginning with his first encounter with the wild horse during a dramatic three-day ride in the high Nevada desert. Throughout the year that followed, the wild horse earned the respect and admiration of his trainers. And, as his fame grew, following a PBS-aired documentary, the wild mustang Shy Boy began to receive visitors from all over the world. Yet throughout the year 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 your gentler. What happened is so exciting and moving that it will surprise every listener.

"It's a magical dance between equal partners." -Boston Globe
