Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Set in South America on a U.S. Army post. Named for his habit of collecting himself on his hind legs and springing forward in a great leap that unseats all riders, Frog is an army remount -- or he would be if anyone could ride him. When he's selected by a new officer for his personal mount, Frog is given his last chance and, in the hands of a true horseman, becomes the post darling. Heartwarming and engaging, it's a must-read for horse-lovers, and an interesting historical set-piece, as well. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It's mostly about what life was like at the Calvary post, based on the author's experiences. Those men were very fond of chicken- any time a bet was laid, the winner got a free chicken dinner. It must have been an item hard to come by, or expensive? Beef steak was second choice to chicken! It's nice to know that in this story: the horse doesn't die. He isn't perfect either- he still has setbacks, is poorly treated by his new master once due to a misunderstanding, and acts out whenever new riders abuse him. He's a feisty one for sure. I liked this book enough I'll keep my eye out for any others by the same author I might come across.
