Calder Promise
“Adding to the seemingly constant flow of horses coming and going from the barns to the work pens, a half dozen buyer’s reps had already shown up to get an advance look at the horses being offered for sale. A couple were inspecting the horses in the stalls, but the rest were scattered around the pens, observing the horses being exercised and put through their paces.
As Laredo left the big-timbered barn, he spotted one of the reps standing at the rails of the large cattle pen, watching a cutting ...horse at work. The minute he got a good look at the claybank stallion through the gaps in the fence rails, Laredo guessed there would be questions and veered toward the rep. He was right.
“Would you happen to know the catalog number for that stud?” the man asked as soon as Laredo reached the fence.
“That’s Cougar’s Pride,” Laredo told him. “You won’t find him in the catalog. He’s not for sale, but it’s his get you’ll be bidding on.”
Disappointment flickered in the man’s expression.MoreLess
