Merriam-Webster.com defines a wrangler as: "a ranch hand who takes
care of saddle horses." In the tourist livery industry, not only
does the wrangler take care of saddle horses, but he/she leads out
trail rides, mostly working for the love of horses and tips.
Whether they worked for a day, a season, or a decade, every
wrangler has stories from their time spent on horseback, leading
out trail rides. There's nothing we like better than to sit around
and swap 'war stories'. This book is a collection of short stories
from leading out rides in the Rocky Mountains. "I told the guests I
knew how much they appreciated the beauty surrounding them and I
knew they and their horses were getting tired, but we really,
really needed to step up the pace. By that time, the storm had
broken over Long's and had zeroed in on us; though the sun was
still shining brightly, the horses caught their first whiff of the
coming storm and sped up on their own. I desperately tried to keep
an eye on both storms bearing down on us, and in short order, it
was much easier to do. With a theatrical crash, the two storms
collided. Now the trick became keeping the horses from bolting.
Eerily, the sun was still shining brightly, but the forest around
us had gone dead silent. The birds and little critters had
disappeared. We were in a controlled trot, pivoted backwards in our
saddles, watching the two storms battle it out. Halfway to the
trees, we began to see lightning arcing between the two storms and
hear the rumbling thunder as one storm grumbled at the other."
