He learned the value of a dollar, what it meant to show your worth, and how to care for the things and people that are important to you. After serving his country in Vietnam, he returned with ghosts of wrong-doings and injustices haunting him, but he continued to work hard, start a family, and have a farm of his own just a mile down the road from where he grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a parallel timeline to Frank's life, the free-roaming descendants of Sitting Bull's war ponies were inadvertently fenced inside the Theodore Roosevelt National Park at its inception. Thus began their struggle to find a place in a world where they were no longer wanted. And even though they faced extinction at the hands of humans over and over, they were designed by nature to survive. But how long can a wild horse herd stand against the prejudice of humans? Somewhere, deep inside their memories of ancestors, they knew their people still longed for them to return home and rejoin their families. Instinct told them their help would have to come from man - one whose soul understood their soul. So they waited. They survived. And they listened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever in his dreams did Frank Kuntz think that he would become the one they were waiting for. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce in a while, choices are made that change the fate of others.
