Bonita — Kathleen Duey

Adventure, drama, wild horses running free. The American West is brought to life through the eyes of the horses who were there in a new program of books inspired by Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, the new film coming May 2002 from DreamWorks.

Bonita is a pampered riding horse in San Antonio when the Mexican War for Independence breaks out. Torn from her beloved mistress, Bonita is forced into a life of hardship. But newfound strength enables her to escape from her captors and find a new life of freedom.
