The “horse breaker” is Nat Love, a fascinating man. Born a slave in the 1850s in Tennessee, he finds that his life is hard, very hard. He and his brother toil every day to bring food or money to their mother’s table. Yet Nat wants more. He wants to break away from the work in fields. He sees his chance when he’s dared to ride his employer’s horse.
