Loved that book when I was a kid.  My family had bought an Arabian stallion and we were just getting into endurance then.   I can still recite my favorite part of the book when the foal was born:

 

"My name is Agba, ba means father.  I will be a father to you Sham.  And when you are grown, I will ride you before the multitudes, and they will bow before you.  And you will be King of the Wind, I promise it."

 

Jody and the girls bound for Biltmore next week!!!
