Book
Breaking Smith's quarter horse / Paul St. Pierre.
A novel which captures the wit, irony and rugged individualism of the ranchers and First Nations of the Cariboo country.
""Smith, man of moderate ambition, unknown first name, and dubious companions, has a quarter horse he is convinced has become one of the Chilcotin country's great cutting horses. In the hands of master stroyteller Paul St. Pierre, this simple Western tale -- the path from quarter horse of good stock to cutting horse of skill and finesse -- is strewn with unforeseen obstacles, unforgettable characters and the kidn of earthy humour that will have you laughing out loud. Warm, evocative and wryly written, Breaking Smith's Quarter Horse is a true Canadian classic."" -- Publisher's description
