Remember That Ol' Horse
by Ron Westmoreland

Horse raising and riding, and rodeo activities are family affairs that bring horse-loving sons and daughters and fathers and mothers together in these rip-roaring, grin-making true tales.

Ron Westmoreland starts off telling a couple of stories of his growing up in Fort Worth with a busted saddle and a true veteran--Ned, the old war horse honorably discharged from the United States Cavalry. Then there's the time he and two other proud but green teenagers mingled with the seasoned regulars at the Fort Worth Stockyards and got the bronc ride of their lives.

Here, too, are stories of family pet Pete, who loved candy, bubble gum, and cigarettes; of goat roping and calf tying, and a behind-the-scenes look at horse trading.

"Westmoreland reminds us that cowboying and the love and understanding of horses begins at an early age; that understanding is increased and nurtured the rest of our lives. For the old hand these stories will be entertaining and bring fond memories of similar experiences. For the novice horse fancier this is a great introduction to the horse world."--Cowboy Magazine

"Westmoreland treats the reader to a delightful assortment of tales about horses and 'horsy' adventure. Westmoreland tickles our ribs and touches our hearts."--The Roundup Quarterly
