The Oldest Greenhorn (Hardcover)

Experience the adventure, joys and perils in a greenhorn wrangler's account of the 40th annual Sombrero Ranches "Great American Horse Drive". Eight hundred half-wild horses were driven sixty two miles in two days, from their winter pastures in far northwest Colorado to the Big Gulch Ranch, west of Craig. Follow the five day adventure from arrival to the exciting "Gate-to-Gate" horse drive on Saturday and Sunday. Read the thrilling account of the "Mad Dash to the Yampa River", driving the horses through Maybell Colorado, and "The Last Mile" in the hazardous ditches at full gallop. Larry W Jones, the Kingwood Kowboy, earned his "Gate-to-Gate" trophy belt buckle the hard way - in the saddle of a fiery red quarterhorse that proved what the term "prancing horse" really means!
