Quarter Horse Boy
Harrap, London, 1970, illus Roger Payne

“Tod was a stable boy and horses were his whole life. Even as a baby he had spent all his time in the stables at
Booramby, the Austalian cattle ranch where he was born.  When Nakimer, the owner of the ranch, bought the
famous Quarter Horses to start a new breeding line, Tod lost his heart to Perina. He thought of the foal as his
own - but Nakimer had other plans. Rather than be separated from Golden Perina, Tod ran away with him into
the outback...”
