Running Wild PDF

Following in the footsteps of Jock of the Bushveld, Running Wild is an African story for all ages.

It is a tale of resilience, of courage and endurance, a book that will uplift, enrich and warm every lover of the African bush.The story of Zulu is based on the life of a real stallion that lived on the Mashatu Game Reserve.

The versions of the story of Zulu are about as numerous as the people who recount them.

The horse and the myth were at times indistinguishable.

This account of his life has been stitched together from all those stories.In February 2000, tropical Cyclone Leon-Eline resulted in a storm so severe that the horses of Mashatu broke out of their enclosure and roamed wild and free for days before returning.

Zulu was the only one that did not return. He was thought to be lost to the scourges of the Bushveld.Years pass before Zulu is discovered to be not only alive and well, but running as the lead stallion of a herd of wild zebras.

He is recaptured and returned to the safari stables as a much bolder and wiser stallion – knowledge he passes on to the other horses as well as the humans of Limpopo Valley.
