Based on an actual event, this suspenseful story tells the miraculous saga of a herd of beautiful wild horses and details the life of a young colt as it matures and follows the lead of its protective mother to overcome a wild, raging blizzard in the dramatic conclusion of their journey. The soft paintings combine with the simple text to bring a vanishing breed vividly to life. A wonderful book for reading aloud or for sharing, the story subtly parallels the growth of all creatures and underscores the strong bonds that exist between parent and child.

-- ARIZONA REPUBLIC, February 1993 This bone-chilling but satisfying story of a colt and the herd he lives with is based on actual events. The wild Dosanko horses of Japan often face harsh winters, and the colt must endure one of them in his first year of life. Over the centuries, the Dosanko have developed shorter bodies, longer hair and tougher hooves--and the instinctual behavior that can save their lives. The author-illustrator, who lives in Japan, makes the horses' survival a real cause for joy. Ages 2-8. -- BOOKLIST, January 15, 1993 The Dosanko horses of Japan are an ancient breed with a unique behavior pattem when winter blizards arrive: they bury themselves in the snow to stay warm and protected until the storm abates. Wild Horse Winter focuses on the life of a young Dosanko colt born on the spring prairie, where the weather is pleasant and the food is plentiful. When winter comes and there's no food to be found, the herd leaves the prairie in search of nourishment. Along the way, the horses encounter a terrible storm and bury themselves in the snowdrifts until it's safe to continue on their journey. Finally, they reach the sea, where there's plenty of seaweed for food and long stretches of sand where the young colt can gallop and frolic. The Asian background of the author-artist is evident in the spare and simple text and in the beautifully fluid lines and dramatic, bold colors of the illustrations. The story is quite suspenseful and dramatic and may prove somewhat frightening for the youngest listeners, but it's a wonderful example of how wild animals instinctively know how in survive under the harshest conditions. -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, August 1993 The Dosanko horses roam wild on a Japanese island, trying to survive a bleak winter. Honda's dramatic paintings portray a stark existence and a harshness of weather and environment. The band of animals search for food in the snow, while the text focuses on a colt following his mother. Readers will agonize over their journey and breathe sighs of relief when they reach the sea and find food. Some might consider this story an allegory for life, as the horses pursue a quest and reach their goal. Originally published in Japan, this quiet mood piece could fit into a winter-themed story time, but is better suited to one-on-one sharing. -- THE CHILDREN'S BOOKWATCH, November 3, 1993 Based on an actual event, this suspenseful story tells the miraculous saga of a herd of beautiful wild horses and details the life of a young colt as it matures and follows the lead of its protective mother to overcome a wild, raging blizzard in the dramatic conclusion of their journey.

Fantastic seller to deal with. Kept me informed and were super helpful and friendly. Provided tracking information so I could see where my order was and when to expect delivery. Considering that it had to come from the States, it arrived here in the UK very quickly. Very well packaged and exactly as described, I’m delighted with my dvd. Thank you so very much for your 5* service 😊
