THE COLT FROM HORSE HEAVEN HILLS Messner, New York, 1956

Peter is at a stockyard, and sees a black horse he knows will be butchered unless he can persuade his father to buy it. Peter thinks he will break the horse himself, but Charcoal causes terrible trouble between Peter and his father. Peter is not supposed to jump because of his old injury, but does; Charcoal is a born jumper, and Peter gradually has to accept what is best for the horse is not necessarily what he, Peter, wants to do.
