Breaking Smith's Quarter Horse — Paul St. Pierre

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. But the path from quarter horse of good stock to cutting horse of skill and finesse is strewn with obstacles, unforgettable characters and the kind of earthy humour that has given Canadians a book worthy of the oft-misused adjective “classic.”
