For centuries, the Medicine Hat horses have been revered by Native Americans as a legendary animal with the power to protect their riders from harm. Brandishing the fabled bonnet-like coloration on his head and the shield on his chest, San Domingo of Marguerite Henry’s novel San Domingo the Medicine Hat Stallion, is no exception to the lore.
Left to tend to the family trading post in his father’s absence, Peter Lundy acquires an Indian pony and after forming a fast bond with the colt he calls San Domingo, Peter is certain that the two of them will never part. However, a ruthless trader at heart, Peter’s father Jethro Lundy trades San Domingo for a more experienced thoroughbred. Devastated by his father’s actions, Peter leaves home in search of a way to fill the void and earn his father’s respect, but will he ever see San Domingo again? Can he learn to forgive his father?
Published in 1972, San Domingo the Medicine Hat Stallion is fourteenth of the 59 books written by Marguerite Henry. After receiving a writing desk from her father as a child, Henry wrote her first short story which sold for twelve dollars. Since then Henry’s writing has been influenced by her love of horses and other animals. With this inspiration, Henry has created award-winning books that have kindled a love of animals, especially horses, in the hearts of children of all ages.
As part of the Breyer® back-to-school series, this box set includes a model of San Domingo and a copy of the book written by award-winning author, Marguerite Henry. Look for more of Henry’s books in other Breyer® boxed sets like Brighty of the Grand Canyon, and Misty of Chincoteague.
