About this book
A sandstorm sweeping across the Rio Grande catches Felipe Montoya returning from a wood delivery with a wagon and two thin horses. He presses his mare hard before realizing that she is about to have a colt, then removes her harness and moves the wagon. With its New Mexico setting and attention to the animals' condition, Bred of the Desert brings the practical demands of travel into a story centered on horses.
Stephen's affection for Pat is clear as he talks to the horse outside a hotel. While Stephen goes inside to write a note to Miss Richards and Miguel steps into a saloon, a young stranger unties Pat and rides away. Stephen spots the rider from a window and turns to the Judge, who offers to contact the authorities. Readers of animal fiction will find adventure and romance linked to the tensions between affection, ownership and the demands placed on working horses.
