The next morning, the Colonel and his cavalry find Spirit and Little Creek and a chase ensues through the Grand Canyon, where they are trapped by a gorge. Little Creek intervenes, and together they jump safely into a river. Spirit is trapped when the chain around his neck snags on a fallen tree. They escape, and the locomotive falls off its wooden sledge and slams into another locomotive, causing an explosion that sets the forest ablaze.

Sensing that the track will infringe on his homeland, Spirit breaks free from the sledge and breaks the chains of other horses. Spirit is forced to work on the Transcontinental Railroad, where he is pulling a steam locomotive. Little Creek then tends to Rain and vows to free Spirit. Spirit rescues Rain and stays by her side until the cavalry recaptures him. Spirit runs after Rain but they both plummet over a waterfall. Rain is instead shot and thrown into a river. During the battle, the Colonel attempts to shoot Little Creek, but Spirit tackles the Colonel and his horse, deflecting the shot. Meanwhile, a cavalry regiment led by the Colonel attacks the village. Spirit falls in love with Rain in the process. Little Creek ties Spirit and Rain together, hoping she can discipline him. Little Creek's mare, Rain, meets them along with other natives, who promptly recapture Spirit.Īfter returning to the Lakota village, Little Creek attempts to tame Spirit with kindness, but Spirit is unwilling. Humiliated, the Colonel attempts to shoot him before Little Creek (who frees himself from his bonds with a knife) saves Spirit from being shot as they escape from the post. Spirit gets a second wind and finally throws him off.

Spirit is later supposedly tamed by the Colonel, who speaks his idea of how any wild horse can be tamed. Meanwhile, a Lakota Native American named Little Creek is also brought into the fort and held captive. To weaken Spirit, the Colonel orders him tied to a post for three days without food or water. In captivity, Spirit encounters "The Colonel", who orders the mustang tamed however, Spirit fends off all attempts to tame him. They awake and, seeing him as a magnificent specimen, seize him, taking him to a US cavalry fort. One night, upon following a strange light near his herd, Spirit finds horses kept in chains and their wranglers sleeping around a campfire. Spirit grows into a stallion and assumes the leadership of the herd. In the 19th-century American West, a young Kiger Mustang colt, Spirit, is born to a herd of wild horses.
