- Synopsis
- One whole week of camping on the mesa! Debbie Bell had never been so excited, even though the camping trip with her friend Maureen had a serious purpose. It was to test Deb’s efficiency in caring for a horse without help—something Deb’s mother had to be convinced of before she would even discuss Deb’s going to veterinary school. Deb didn’t have any doubts about handling Star Bright, her very own sorrel colt. For hadn’t she raised him herself? If she would just remember to be what her mother called “responsible,” and not get into any of those scrapes that seemed to attract her and Star. The great day arrived, and Deb and Maureen with their horses set off for the mesa high in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The weather was perfect and the campsite couldn’t have been better. After several glorious days Deb knew that Star would behave if she used a hobble at night instead of leaving him in the old corral with Maureen’s horse, Patches. Forgotten were Mr. Baily, the hired man’s, words, “Don’t use hobbles less I’m around. Your colt’s still too young to be trusted.” The next morning Star was gone, with Patches after him. What would her mother and Mr. Baily say! Both Maureen and Deb were frantic as they took off after the two horses, following a trail that led past the Bell ranch, past the highway, and into the woods, where coyotes and other predators waited. As one day went by and the two girls still had not found their horses Deb began to imagine Star injured, perhaps dead. She and Maureen plunged deeper into the forest, following the horses in a chase that was to have adventure and some narrow escapes before reaching a most unexpected conclusion.
