Inspiration
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
twenty 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. Last Chance Mustang explains Samson's violent and
antisocial behavior while addressing the remedial techniques
employed to remedy these issues. The art of working with
damaged horses is demystified. Though his story is sad, the
reader is asked to respect Samson—not pity him. He has good
and bad days, and he has a dark side. Like all of us, Samson
is far from perfect. And his saga will move the reader to
both tears and laughter. Part history lesson, part training
manual, and part animal narrative, Samson's is a story that
all readers will be able to relate to: a story of survival,
of trust, and ultimately, finding love.
