Synopsis

Last Chance Mustang is the story of Samson, a formerly free-roaming, still wild-at-heart American mustang that was plucked from his mountainous Nevada home and thrown into the domestic horse world where he was brutalized and victimized.

After years of abuse, Samson had evolved into a hateful and hated, maladjusted beast until the day he found his way to a rural Illinois farm, an ill-equipped owner, and one last chance. Mitch Bornstein's task was to tame the violent beast whose best defense had become offense. He had twenty years of experience fixing unfixable horses, but Samson would be his greatest challenge. Through the pair's many struggles and countless battles, Samson would teach Mitch about the true power of hope, friendship, redemption and the inspiring mettle of the forever wild and free American mustang.

College, law school, and nineteen years as an attorney led him on a journey to save the horses that no one else will. Mitchell lives in Wheeling, Illinois.

I just finished my arc of this book and it was very inspiring. It took me to a world that I know very little about. What a great book and author. The compassion for Samsom shows what a truly wonderful person Mitchell Bornstein is. Samsom was very lucky to have Mr. Bornstein as a trainer.......more

Goodreads review by Breanna on June 12, 2020

Not only is this the story of one beaten-but-not-broken Mustang, it is the story of the beaten-but-not-broken Spirit of the West. It is a story of Samson and it is a story of his wild cousins, past and present, on the open rangelands, both facing uphill battles for their right to survival. As we fol......more
