Books with title Chucaro: Wild Pony of the Pampa

Written by a native of Hungary living in California, this is a quiet story about life on the Argentinian pampa, the vast plain that stretches from the Andes Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Pedrito is the son of an old gaucho (cowboy) and the protégé of a younger, more accomplished one. They live and work on a large estancia (estate) herding cattle and training horses. One day, Pedrito and his mentor, Juan, capture one of the wild ponies that roams the pampa. The patrón, the wealthy landowner who legally owns the horse, desires the animal for his own son, a cruel and undisciplined prankster. When this boy proves himself unworthy of the horse, Juan refuses to hand it over. Wills clash, and Juan is fired. He leaves the estancia with Pedrito and their pony. Goodness and innocence have triumphed once again, though not materially.
