Ride the Rough String — Alfred Dennis

The love of a good horse, sweet mountain air, romance, and adventure will keep you enjoying this story of the early American West. The old horse trader stands on the bed of his trade wagon watching as a tall, dark-complexioned young man pats the sweaty neck of the unbroken colt. Nodding to himself as the rider steps lightly into the saddle, he grins when the horse plunges sideways at the strange weight of the man on his back. Bucking and bawling across the sandy corral the horse tries his best, but is no match for the rider on his back. The old man dreams of having his own horse ranch, but now he has waited too long. He is too old to ride the rough colts he intends to breed. He has been looking for land and the best horses in his travels. He finds a spectacular Steeldust stallion that he wants for his herd sire. From the wagon bed Caintuck Waters smiles, before him is the answer to his dreams. He finally finds a partner for his ranch and a horse tamer that can Ride the Rough String.
