Peter Lundy cherishes the vast western plains and his sacred Medicine Hat Stallion, San Domingo. Their unbreakable bond faces a shattering test when Peter's father, Jethro, trades the beloved horse for a thoroughbred. Torn between loyalty and betrayal, Peter must decide if he can forgive his father or if leaving home is his only path.

From the publisher
Peter Lundy has two joys in life: the rugged western plains where he has grown up and San Domingo, a Medicine Hat Stallion. The Indians believe such a horse is sacred– that neither bullet nor arrow can harm its rider. As they explore the prairie together, a bond forms between Peter and San Domingo that can never be broken. But Peter’s father, Jethro Lundy, knows only one love: bargaining. He trades San Domingo for a thoroughbred. How can Peter ever forgive his father? His only choice is to leave home forever!
