4-6Horses of the Dawn series.
Cursed as "Lame Boy," Tijo faces exile when his caretaker dies. But soon he meets Hold On, a blind horse who is similarly alone and in need of community. Together, they set out to protect the filly Estrella and her herd from the villainous conquistador, El Miedo, before he captures and enslaves them. Lyrical writing and sympathetic characters abound in this second book.
