The Dark Horse (Tumbleweed)
by Will James
Category: Fiction

Sent away as a colt because his color didn't reflect his fine racing lineage, Colonel, the Dark Horse, finds himself in a strange land thousands of miles from home. Charro, born in the badlands of the arid West and orphaned at a few months of age, is rescued from starvation by a cowboy named Brad. At the Hip-O Ranch on the edge of the badlands, fate brings the two colts together to form a bond that cannot be broken. With 40 line drawings and colorful prose, Will James renders two weak-kneed, green colts who become the best of their breeds: Colonel, a race-winning champion, and Charro, the wiliest wild mustang the West has ever seen.
