Synopsis: Based on a true story of the friendship between the stallion, Cinchfoot, and the gelding, Blaze Face, who roam together on the range. Both are champion buckers and are caught by men several times, only to regain their freedom. The two horses, under different names, are based on real characters. The remarkable friendship between them was a reality. Horsemen of the West, including Lloyd Hardin and John Campbell, have more than once told of the two horses and their unusual friendship for each other. When Cinchfoot was last heard of he was twenty-three years old, living on a ranch in Montana. It was said by those who saw him' at the time that he was in excellent health and as beautiful as ever. Old Blaze Face lived to be twenty-six years of age before he crossed the Great Divide.
