THE HORSE TAMER

by Walter Farley ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 20, 1958

Among the skills which the jet-age has forgotten in that highly disciplined and demanding profession of horse taming. In a reminiscence, Henry Dalley traces the high points of his brother Bill's career, his bold genius in making the wildest, most rebellious animal yield to the reins of a master. Unlike the charlatans of his profession, his were the artful tools of sympathy and understanding and he risked his life to expose those ruthless men who employed dope and the indiscriminate use of the whip to achieve their ends. Walter Farley writes with his usual vigor and comprehension of horses and the men who are dedicated to them, filling his story with believable adventure and authentic background material.
