Summary "Bred of the Desert: A Horse and a Romance" by Charles M. Horton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Felipe Montoya, a young Mexican wood hauler, whose life becomes intertwined with the fate of a colt born during a terrifying sandstorm in the desert. The narrative explores themes of hardship, companionship, and the bond between humans and horses, set against the sweeping backdrop of the Southwestern landscape. The opening of the book introduces us to Felipe as he faces a devastating sandstorm that leads him to an unexpected discovery: a new colt has arrived in the world. Initially overwhelmed by complications in his personal life and amidst the storm, Felipe's frustration turns to compassion as he tends to the mare and her newborn. This moment sets the stage for Felipe’s journey, which intertwines his struggles with debt, the colorful town dynamics, and the burgeoning relationship with the colt, who symbolizes hope and resilience. This blend of rustic life, emotional challenges, and the romance that unfolds sets a compelling foundation for the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
