"Just about the best horse story every written." -- Dorothy
Canfield Fisher, American novelist
Smoky, the Cowhorse is the story of a horse--from his
first hours on the prairie sod to his final years out to pasture.
Smoky grows up wild and wise to the ways to the range, fighting
wolves and braving stiff winds. Clint, a bronco-busting cowboy on
the Rocking R Ranch, spots the spirited four-year-old and thinks
it is the finest little horse he ever saw. After many adventurous
years on the Rocking R, Smoky mysteriously disappears, only to
turn up later as an outlaw bucking horse on the rodeo circuit.
The reader follows the story--from range to ranch to
rodeo--through Smoky's eyes. We feel his terror of man, his
struggle against the rope, his growing love for turning cows, and
his anger when mistreated.
First published in 1926, Smoky, the Cowhorse is for anyone who
loves horses the way Will James did. As James writes in the
preface, "Smoky is just a horse, but all horse, and that I think
is enough said."
