“Perhaps they don’t know about rivers for some reason. I kept the mares safe until the little one found us. The Mustang had herded Delia and Midnight far up on the bank by the time I got to the edge of the water. The rest of the horses were frantic, some of them plunging into deeper water, scattering as the men struggled to bunch them up and get them out of the river. I glanced back. The men were moving Mr. Teal farther up the bank. Mrs. Kyler had a blanket and was spreading it on the ground.... People were shouting at one another, running back and forth. Across the river Andrew was still riding circles around the stock with his brothers, trying to force them back into a herd—all but the Mustang. He had run the mares back even before Andrew had noticed the danger. He was standing apart from the others on the far bank with the mares, his head high, his eyes wide open and rimmed in white. I knew the Kylers would forbid me to go back across, but I had to. I couldn’t leave the Mustang with just the two mares off to one side like that.MoreLessRead More Read Less
