A Good Horse by Jane Smiley is about Abby Lovitt and her life on the family ranch. In the story, Abby and her father come across an extra special horse they name Black George. Black George has a gift. That gift is jumping. He goes over jumps with ease, and he loves to do it. Abby and Black George team up and enter a high-class horse show. This will expose Black George and Abby's father might be able to get top dollar for him when he sells him. Also, Abby has a favorite horse on the ranch. His name is Jack. He is a colt that was born there at the ranch. His mother, Brown Jewel (Pearl is what Abby called her), died not long after Jack's birth. Abby takes over and cares for Jack.
