Since moving west over a decade ago, Tom Groneberg has worked with
horses as a trail guide, as a ranch hand, and as the manager of his
own ranch in Montana, but he has never owned a really good horse.
Until, on an autumn night, in a warm barn under a blanket of snow,
Blue is born. Soon, he will belong to Tom Groneberg. "If I had a
good horse," writes Tom, "I could give it my life. I could ride it
for years. We could grow old together." So begins this unique
American love story about a man and his horse.
In straightforward, poetic prose, Tom Groneberg chronicles the
early successes and failures of trying to train Blue, earning the
animal's trust, and saddling him for the first time. The experience
is challenging, but ultimately rewarding for Tom. Through his
relationship with the animal, he develops a deeper understanding of
the land and his community, and of himself -- as a man, and as a
husband and father. In a world in which horses are fast becoming
nothing more than warm-blooded lawn ornaments, Tom still believes
these animals are important in human lives.
At its heart, "One Good Horse" is about the power of hope, the
simple story of a horse and the way people connect with nature and
with each other across the generations.
