Ken McLaughlin Vs. Colt On Wyoming Ranch
Ten year old Ken on a Wyoming ranch desires a colt of his own. His father, a retired army officer, refuses due to poor school progress and lack of responsibility. Ken's mother supports the colt plan hoping it builds character. Ken selects yearling Gilly from Rocket, a troubled mare, which is later sold and killed before delivery. Rocket’s offspring are sold except for Ken’s chosen colt. Ken remains determined to own the colt despite his father’s disapproval.
