"That Girl Can't Even Saddle a Horse," They Sneered. The Cowboy Watched Her Tame His Horse. | Western Historical Drama Audiobook Maggie Sutton has gentled every horse on her grandmother's place herself, started them at two years old, ridden them through water and past a fired pistol. But when the Army buying board comes through Sweetwater Bend, the yard boss laughs, shoves a saddle off his shoulder, and tells six hundred people that the Sutton girl cannot even saddle a horse. Her best mare breaks in half under the rig. The inspector writes one word in his book. Unserviceable. Nine dollars a head. Maggie walks home believing the horses failed her. Then she washes the mare's withers by lantern light and finds four punctures in a row, an inch and a half apart. And a dusty wrangler nobody in that town has looked at twice tells her exactly what is sewn inside a saddle blanket, and why two hundred and six condemned horses came back gentle and sold for one hundred and twenty-five dollars apiece. Her land, her water at Black Tank, and her brother's future all come due on the fifteenth of September. Her witness is burned out. Her evidence is stolen. All she has left is an old snaffle bit with a five-pointed star, a stallion the whole territory calls a man-killer, and one thing her grandmother told her that nobody in that county ever thought to check. This western audiobook features a plain-dressed cowboy with a secret, a young woman whose hands are her only proof, and a debt of honor paid twenty-two years late.
