The Fire Pony
Rodman Philbrick
Horse connection:
(western) Roy and his brother Joe work on a ranch
Description:
Roy's older brother Joe Dilly rescued Roy from an awful foster home, just as he'd always hoped, and ever since then they've drifted together from ranch to ranch. Joe is magical with horses - able to work with the most difficult tempers, able to spot and correct the most subtle lameness - but he doesn't get on so well with people and he has a fascination with fire that terrifies Roy. On the run, they arrive at the Bar None Ranch, where they find a comfortable and welcoming place - but Joe Dilly just can't get too comfortable.
