The awkwardly graceful colt is a marked horse from the day he is foaled. His mother, Big Bay, possess that combination of intelligence, stamina and spirit most prized by true horsemen. So Sam McSwain, the Horseshoe's young foreman, pays a top price for her to get the new colt. The trouble begins when the four-year-old is stolen from the Horseshoe. A stranger to cruelty, Mustang fights back - against spurs, hanresses, quirts. Freed by a young girl, Mustang heads for the open range, shunning the haunts of men. Raised in the stable, Mustang needs all his intelligence to survive that first winter. A Trapper befriends the big bay during the worst blizzard, helping him to half-trust men again. With the arrival of new grass, however, big bay is off. Captured again to be utilized as a race horse, Mustang is frightened by the shrieks of the crowd when he wins his first race. He throws his rider and simply keeps running. A legend now, the big bay is sighted - here - there - miles off - throughout his home range. But neither ropes, fences, nor traps can hold him. He responds only to the kindness he remembers from Sam. How Mustang repays that kindess - and adds another chapter to his fame - is the thrilling climax to Thomas C. Hinkle's tale of the Old West.
