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.
