Answer:
Both Paul and his father value horses as an important part of their lives.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story of "The Land," a novel written by Mildred Deloise Taylor (an African-American novelist). The story centers on the character of Paul-Edward Logan, a son of a Native American woman and a white man.
Based on the reactions in the excerpts above, it is clear that Paul's father, Edward, valued Ghost Wind (a stallion they bought from a neighbor) if given proper training and care. This is how much Paul's father value horses that he even wanted it to be under best care. Most of the time, Paul influences his father's viewpoint. He even started training Ghost Wind with the help of Paul and he is one of the best riders among Edward's sons. This shows how much Paul and his father value horses.
In the second excerpt, Paul described his painful feeling of not being able to ride the horse as "worse than a whipping." This shows how much he love to ride horses and how much he values them.
