John Stone, Juanita, and Lobo rode through a land where rocks sat on the desert like giant clinkers surrounded by forests of yucca, prickly pear, and elephant trees. The sun beat on them fiercely as their horses plodded along, their heads hanging low.

Stone noticed that his horse’s gait was becoming irregular, and thought the heat was bothering the animal, but then the horse began to limp. Stone pulled back the reins and climbed down from the saddle to see what was wrong.

Ahead, Lobo heard him stop. Lobo brought his horse to a halt and walked back to see what was wrong with Stone. Juanita took the opportunity to climb down from her saddle and exercise her legs.

Stone examined the hooves of his horse, and saw that half a horseshoe had broken off one of them. “Damn!” he said, and pried the rest of the horseshoe off with his knife, then trimmed the hoof with the blade of the knife so it’d be even.

Lobo watched him. “You not get far without new horseshoe,” he said. “I know a place not far away. Follow me.”

“A place out here?” Stone asked incredulously. “What is it?”

“A ranch,” Lobo replied. “Friends. Come on.” They climbed into their saddles, and Lobo rode off in a southwesterly direction. Juanita and Stone followed, Stone’s horse still limping. Stone found himself wondering what kind of ranch could exist in this demanding region of desert. Must be hardy folk, he thought.
