Bookroo's summary

In a thrilling western adventure, Calico the Wonder Horse faces off against cunning villains. With cattle rustling, kidnappings, and daring chases, Calico must outwit the outlaws to save the day. Can this remarkable horse bring justice to the wild West and ensure a merry Christmas for all, even the outlaws? Join the action-packed ride and discover if Calico can triumph over evil.

From the publisher

In comic-strip format, this action-packed western drama is complete with cattle rustling and kidnapping, a stampede, a holdup, and a thrilling chase. From start to bang-up finish, Calico the Wonder Horse outruns and outsmarts the double-dyed villains – and, of course, saves the day! “Complete with lightening bolt and clouds of churned-up dust, for its tale of good and evil in the wild West.” –Publishers Weekly
