Publisher's Summary
A world away, in the rugged Wyoming wilderness, a wild mustang called Artemisia runs free, belonging only to the stars. In a land where mountain lions and wranglers pose an ever-present threat, she must vigilantly protect her new foal...until a devastating act separates them from their band.
Like a braided rein, Maya's and Artemisia's lives will ultimately intertwine. Together, they hold the key to each other's survival.
Award-winning veteran Kathleen McInerney brings to life the hunger for freedom that drives Pam Munoz Ryan's 11-year-old heroine Maya to seek out the important lessons about love and life that she's been denied under the control of her overprotective grandmother. The tone of McInerney's performance shifts into a greater solemnity as the narration passes back and forth between orphaned Maya and the perspective of the wild mare Artemisia whose destiny is linked to hers.
From the exacting snootiness of the members of high society who have constrained young Maya to the rustic twang of her Wyoming relatives who aid her in her journey of self-discovery, McInerney captures the spirit of Maya's adventure from sheltered naiveté to independence and strength.

For horse lovers
This was the first audio book that would actually keep my 11 y.o. daughter interested.
The story follows a young girl as she works through a myriad of adversity to find out more about her late parents, of who she remembers little. The author is quite knowledgeable in the ways of the equine and her writing imparts a lot of horse learning within the story, going as far as telling some of it through the thoughts of the main horse character.
It is well written, is fairly fast-paced and the reader does a good job with the different characters, without being too "hammy".
This is a great book for a 5 hr. car ride with a young (or old) horse lover!

Great book for girls and moms
We were looking for a horse book that featured a girl. Maya is a strong and smart girl, but she still has a lot to learn about life and relationships. She makes some mistakes and she knows it, but she learns to make the best of her situation. Meanwhile the story itself is one that draws you in from the very beginning and keeps you wondering what will happen next. I will be looking for more by this author.
My 3rd grade horse-loving daughter listened to this book first and encouraged me to listen as well.

Beautiful Heartfelt Story
As an equestrian I find this book sweet, charming, and surprisingly realistic for a horse book. Really good job on the narrative part, and very Wild West type story, for example, I say “canter” instead of lope. Very nice book overall.

Everything is great but the singing...
I have listened to this at least 7 times and read the book 4 times. One of my all time favorites. The narrator is good. She does good voices. But the sinking parts make my ears bleed. LOVE THIS STRONGLY RECOMMEND !

Good story
By nes: the story was well written and had a fun plot. The characters grew throughout the book. However, the reader was kind of whiny and did not have the best voice, but the was good at making the voices sound believable. By NES. Age 10

Exhilarating and delightful adventure
I loved this book. I couldn't envision how I would enjoy a tale about a horse and its rider. But of course it was a Pam Munoz Ryan book. I have learned that every story she pens is endearing. And this story comes with amazing life lessons. I heartily recommend this to children and adults.

Good for grown-up "horse girls" too!
Where does Paint the Wind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as an adult, but it was great. I reconnected to my girlhood days spent in love with horses, dreaming of horses and reading horse books. A refreshing read over the holidays.

Delightful Read
Listen to this one with my horse crazy 10-year-old daughter. Both the narration and the story were excellent. It was delightful to watch my daughter become so absorbed in a story!
