| Twelve-year-old Wilder Good likes basketball, 4-H club, hanging out with his friends, and reading. But, more than anything, he loves to be outdoors. In this fourth book of the series, Wilder is back at his grandfatherâ s ranch in West Texas. Papa Milam gives him an unexpected giftâ his very own â greenâ colt to break. Wilder is excited to begin, but he quickly realizes that even getting near the colt is much harder than he expected. So Papa hires Tequito, a Mexican vaquero, to help. Tequito doesnâ t speak much English, and at first Wilder is intimidated. But the vaquero is both gentle and firm with the colt, and soon theyâ re making good progress. Wilder sees how skilled Tequito is with horses, and learns that American cowboying has its roots in a much older Mexican tradition. Breaking his new colt is a challenge, butâ as Wilder discoversâ itâ s only the beginning of the joy and pain of owning a horse. |
