Desert Rose

This tale is an exhilarating example, in song format, of the old saying, "Never judge a book by its cover."The protagonist is an experienced, if young, cowgirl who simply wants a healthy, strong, well-trained horse. When a wrangler offers to sell her Desert Rose, she believes it's the horse she's been looking for, and at a surprisingly reasonable price. She takes the time to inspect the horse carefully and thoroughly, even checking its response to common triggers for bad behaviour. The horse shows itself to be extraordinarily calm and well-mannered. Satisfied, the cowgirl strikes a deal with the wrangler and saddles up her new horse for the ride home.What follows is something many horse owners and riders know well; the challenge of just staying in the saddle!Included in the book is a QR code for a live recording of the song on which this book is based.
