A great book about wild horses

This is a really good book about people from Argentina and wild horses. I had to read this book for a class, but I truly enjoyed the book. Not only is this book multicultural it's also informative about the culture and how these people deal with horses, their line of work. Anyone interested in horses and how they catch and tame wild horses would enjoy this book. The story is mainly about one boy's journey and his wild horse, Cucharo. After the little boy finds Chucaro, he must endure hardship and make tough decisions, all for the love of his horse.
