The Arctic Camels

When Torarin and his sister Svalin want a horse for riding, their parents buy two Bactrian camels. The family soon discovers that camel training is not for amateurs.

And deep into the Goby desert, they actually find a candidate. But they are not prepared for the Mongolian training methods.
