In this oft-told tale, a little cowboy gentles and rides a bronco after the pony is pronounced too wild, wily, and mean by three confident bronco busters. The pictures of the horse, at his best and worst moments, outshine the text and give readers both rodeo action and an intimate glimpse of the relationship between the boy and his horse.
