Race the Wild Wind
A Story of the Sable Island Horses

When a band of horses is let go from a passing ship, a young stallion leads the herd to safety on a golden arc of land – Sable Island, of the coast of Nova Scotia. The herd must endure a harsh winter before the warmth of spring brings new life and new foals. But when a fierce thunderstorm puts the horses in danger once again, only by racing the wild wind can they survive the trials of nature in their new island home.
