Bookroo's summary
Smoky, a wild horse of the open range, thrives on freedom and survival. He can outsmart any predator, but when he encounters humans, his world shifts. These two-legged creatures pose a challenge unlike any he's faced. As Smoky grapples with this new threat, he must decide if surrendering some freedom could lead to something more valuable. Will he adapt to this strange new world, or will his wild spirit remain untamed? Discover Smoky's journey from the wild to the rodeo and beyond, as he navigates the complexities of life and freedom.
From the publisher
Smoky knows only one way of life: freedom. Living on the open range, he is free to go where he wants and to do what he wants. And he knows what he has to do to survive. He can beat any enemy, whether it be a rattlesnake or a hungry wolf. He is as much a part of the Wild West as it is of him, and Smoky can’t imagine anything else.
But then he comes across a new enemy, one that walks on two legs and makes funny sounds. Smoky can’t beat this enemy the way he has all the others. But does he really want to? Or could giving up some of his freedom mean getting something in return that’s even more valuable?
