In the south of France, in a vast plain region called the Camargue, lives White Mane, a magnificent stallion and the leader of a herd of wild horses too proud to let themselves be broken by humans. Only Folco, a young fisherman, manages to tame him. A strong friendship grows between the boy and the horse, as the two go looking for the freedom that the world of men won’t allow them.

let him? This is where serendipity takes an hand and offers the young lad an opportunity, assuming he can master aquaplaning, to befriend the creature. There's some beautiful photography of the wild horses here - galloping, frolicking, rutting and the storyline is peppered with a gentle sense of humour. I am sure I even saw a look of disdainful pity coming from the horse as his personal gadfly persists, and persists. Whilst this is essentially a story about a boy's affections, it also invites us to remember that this animal has a place within the hierarchy of it's own kind, and it also has a need to be around them too. Some sort of balance might need to be in order for any satisfaction to be achieved - though maybe not quite the one we are offered in conclusion here!
