Read the excerpt from The Land. "As I recall," said my daddy, "it was Mitchell who near to crippled Ghost Wind."

"That was a long time ago. Mitchell's learned a lot about horses since then."

My daddy thought on that. "I suppose," he agreed. "How old is that boy now?"

"He just turned sixteen first part of the year."

"Sixteen and he can't ride, can he?"

"That's because you don't let him."
