The Georges And The Jewels (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Tacker, the old man who had Jewel, decided he needed two more ranch horses, so he came by to look at what we had. Of course we had Black George and Ornery George. The other George was a chestnut with two white socks in front, so we called him Socks George. We also had the mares. The old man bought Red Jewel right off the bat—she was well broke and, now that she’d been with us for a month, neatly shod and a deal fatter than she had been. He didn’t want any of the others, but he looked twice at Ornery George. Then he looked again. He said to Daddy, but glancing at me, “Your girl ride this one?” Daddy said, “She has been. What with the new shipment, we’ve given him a bit of a rest. …” He shrugged. Not exactly bearing false witness. “Well built.” “He is a stylish one,” said Daddy. “Looks like a reining horse, if you ask me.” “Has he been around cattle?” “Supposed to have been, back in Oklahoma. I can’t guarantee …” “What would you say to a tryout?”
