This is the third book in his series,<br \/>\nwhich is based on his life.

We were going to try to go through the whole<br \/>\nseries, but we have so many books to share that it is hard to get in extras. To tell the truth,<br \/>\nI am glad I read it to myself. I can progress faster, and I&#8217;m not interrupted with questions,<br \/>\nwhich takes away from the book.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This book was as great as the other books. I was involved with the story at every chapter,<br \/>\nand I even had to go and look up some Youtube videos on what cutting horses look like<br \/>\nwhile they work cattle, which helped me fully understand what Ralph was doing with the<br \/>\ncutting horse.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am not a big Western type reader, so don&#8217;t be alarmed or quickly write this off as something<br \/>\nyou won&#8217;t like.
