Charlie, Pedro, Charlie’s mother, and Ellen Sprague go to Redstone, bringing Charlie’s great stallion, Golden Boy, and Pedro’s wolf dog, Shag. The boys have their work cut out for them. The herds at Redstone are beginning to inbreed and are being mismanaged by scrub stallion leaders.

The Golden Stallion's Victory: Golden Stallion #4 (Famous Horse Stories)
by Rutherford MontgomeryCharlie Carter’s first meeting with the big stallion of the Bar L took place in the spring of the year. Golden Boy was a wild colt then. The story of how Charlie caught, tamed, and raced him was told in The Capture of the Golden Stallion, in which the reader also first met Charlie’s ranching father, his beautiful, impetuous mother and Ellen Sprague, who went to school in the East but felt the way Charlie did about Golden Boy and the Bar L. Now spring has come again to the high country, where Golden Boy triumphantly guards his mares. Charlie looks forward to a fine summer, but his first ride to look over the horse herd brings an ominous adventure. An old silvertip has killed a cow, so Charlie stalks the bear, taking chances that a more seasoned hunter would not approve. After that things happen fast. A neighboring ranch, the Big Circle, has changed hands, and the new owner ruthlessly attempts to usurp the Bar L’s range and water rights. Golden Boy fans the flames by trespassing in Big Circle territory, and Ellen arrives from the East accompanied by a girl friend straight from the soda- fountain set. When the range water is diverted from Canna Creek the complications seem insurmountable, but actually they set the stage for Golden Boy to make the run of his life.
