I'm sure you loved them very much.<br /><br />I'm curious: Why do you always sit your heroes on Quarter Horses? They were (and remain) the most common horses in the U.S., but I wonder if you have other reasons.<br /><br />Pa Caine, the hero's father in <i>Prodigal Gun</i>, bred Quarter Horses.

Did you adopt the Mustang from the BLM program?
