Summary: The Faraway Horses
Review: This is an excellent book. It not only relates Buck's personal story, and how he was able to overcome his abusive family situation, but it also tells about his experiences with horses. If you are a rider, owner, or trainer, or if you don't ride at all, but are interested in horses or about people who are able to transcend their childhoods, this book is for you. It offers alot of insight, humor and encouragement. I would recommend it to anyone. It is a story of triumph and hopefulness.

Summary: Should Be Required Reading
Review: What a great book, I couldn't put it down. Potential buyers should note that this is mostly Buck's life story...with some horse lessons in the mix. If you're looking to learn Buck's techniques I suggest one of his other books or videos. But if you want to know the man, understand his background and philosophy toward animals and life--then this is the book. There are some very touching stories. Some will make you happy, some will make you cry. This book should be required reading for anyone who owns a horse or is even thinking about it! I can't wait for his next book.
