I cannot believe I have read almost to the very end thinking that "Don" was the man's first name, like a shortened version of "Donald" or something. But all of this time it was a title!

Poor Johannes! He has everything against him now: the desert, men determined to kill him no matter what and his feet are ruined. No water either; only dry desert.

This is such a a fascinating story! And lots has been revealed but there are still a few secrets to discover.

"Have you ridden your black stallion yet?"
"Not yet," I said, "but soon. I think he likes me. I think, somehow, he expects me to ride him. When I saddle the other horses, he comes to the corral bars and watches. He follows along inside the corral as I ride away, and I don't believe it is just because he wishes to be with the other horses."

So this chapter suggests that some mysterious things might be following the boy.. it's all very intriguing and interesting.

Well I am going to the ranch tomorrow so this old classic is going to be my horse book of the week. It has started out a tad mysterious too so I will see what will happen in here.
