This delightful children’s story tells the tale of the Boy – a young male who cannot talk – who has a way with animals. On the ranch where the Boy works, a wild horse gets caught up in a range round up. He is deemed by the ranch’s horse breaker, to be untameable. It is eventually worked out that the horse is blind.
A blind horse and a mute boy seem the most unlikely of partnerships, and yet the Boy is able to communicate that he would like to try his luck with the Horse. Patient as ever, the Boy works each evening and during the day amongst his typical ranch chores, to gain the Horse’s trust. Little by little he succeeds, much to the surprise of the working men around him.
When it seems that things are going so well, unexpected events result in the Horse being free from the yard the Boy was taming him in, and running in fear. A search ensues for the Boy to find his Horse again.
The Blind Outlaw is a unique tale by Glen Rounds. It explores patience and persistence, as well as not judging something by first impressions. A great little read.
