An Arabian colt named Sham—born with both the mark of good and evil—becomes the companion of Agba, a young, mute boy. Sent away to France as a gift, Agba refuses to leave the horse's side and together the two begin a remarkable journey. Despite setbacks along the way, Agba pushes on, keeping his promise to provide the best care for his friend. As Sham grows, his speed and agility improve, and he becomes not only one of the best friends a boy could have, but also a skilled thoroughbred. ## Images ![King of the Wind - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QqpS0hVPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ charming *by P***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2004* Perhaps 4.5 stars. It was a real sweet story. After being sold to the French king, the horse and the boy go through a lot of misfortunes and were handed over from one owner to another. Half of the time in the hands of kind people, half of the time at the mercy of evil hands. The boy is extremely passive and good-natured, and accepts his fate as it unfolds. He doesn't seem to hold grudges against his tormentors, neither does he have strong emotions toward his losses. But he's not weak or coward, either. He has pretty good endurance toward hardships and knows how to move on.No one really punishes his tormentors, nor does he seek revenge on anybody. The movie shows that there are good and evil in this world, and they come on our ways side by side, but that's what life is all about. In this day and generation, justice must be done and to leave the wicked go unpunished is very frustrating, perhaps, but I think this movie has a good message there.The movie doesn't really get into the depth of the boy's struggles or the bond with the horse, and acting in general isn't that great (I was expecting it to be a tear-jerker, but it really wasn't). I think some things can be improved, but I sort of like the way it is, its low-key approach, because it's not as threatening or emotionally traumatic for younger children. Some characters die or get killed in the movie, but not like in the ways of dramatic, fancy killings of Hollywood movies. The story is well-told without becoming violent or too dramatic.I will feel very comfortable showing it to my young nephew and niece. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon rental issues *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2021* The thumbnail for this rental is incorrect, but it is King Of The Wind, based on the book by Marguerite Henry. The subtitles are incorrect, and I wonder if they are for the movie shown in the thumbnail. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Based on a True Story *by S***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2013* Every Thoroughbred Horse (horses that race in Kentucky Derby etc) in the U.S. has as their ancestor either this horse, the Godolphin Arabian, or the Darley Arabian or Byerly Turk.This film deals with some of what is known about the Godolphin Arabian and fills in the blanks on the rest with some invention to make a story. It based on the book by Marguerite Henry and is fairly close to book storyline. It is an amusing piece of historical fact mixed with fiction. The movie is put together well enough and the plot can be followed. I don't recall any "nasty" language and while there is a fight scence with someone dying the violence is not graphic or gory. There is no nudity or sexual trashy stuff which was a plus too! Also good about this film is that there were many more positive images of people helping other people and being generous than there were negative images.Good film - better than most out there and if you like horses you will probably really like this film. The horses in the film are beautiful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6789393-king-of-the-wind](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6789393-king-of-the-wind) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
