Humorous, Inspirational Story That All Will Love In this new book in the Under Open Skies series, Tom Johnson is in his early 20's and struggling to make it through college and take care of his little family. Due to the stress created by the overload of class work, the challenges of having very little money, and the limited amount of time for his family, he often feels trapped by his circumstances. To try to earn some extra money to help out with his family income, he procures a job taking care of horses. When the lady he works for buys a famous old race horse, Tom starts to see the world and his situation somewhat differently. In sensing the old stallion's trust in him, learning from friends and those around him, Tom begins to realize that prisons can be made as much from our attitudes and decisions as they can be from cement and steel, and that challenges can be good. That is when he begins to understand what true freedom really is. If you love horses and great stories, this book is for you.

It is such a fun book to read!" -- Celese Sanders (syndicated columnist of "Little Bits Of Life")"Super Cowboy Rides" reminds me of when I was a boy and we would visit my grandparents' farm in Utah where my cousins would try, in a loving way, to kill me. It has a ring of authenticity that could only be accomplished by growing up on a farm or ranch. I loved each chapter, but once I reached the end of the book I realized I had been taught some important lessons. This is a book that boys will love as well as girls who look for the good in everyone. -- Jack Weyland (Author of "Charlie" and other Y.A. novels.)"This is the perfect family trip 'read out loud' book. You are on the edge of your seat the entire time wondering what this little cowboy will do next! We laughed so hard, and my 8-year old kept begging me to not stop reading. This book reels you in from the first page. We will be adding this fantastic book to our home library." -- Stephanie Ashcraft (New York Times best selling author)
