Broncho: A Stirring Tale Inspired by the Famous Olympia Winner | 1930 FIRST EDITION | By Richard Ball | Illustrations by G.D. Armor

A first edition British copy of Broncho: A Stirring Tale Inspired by the Famous Olympia Winner by Richard Ball, it is beautifully illustrated with pencil drawings by G.D. Armor. The dust jacket describes it best... "To many who saw the late Col. Malise Graham riding and winning with his veteran charger Broncho at Olympia there must have come the thought that the history of such a horse might make romantic reading. Mr. Ball, dedicating his book to that famous forerunner, has imagined a life story such as his might have been. A stirring tale is the result. From the moment when Roger Arbuthnot rescues Broncho from the vile treatment of Farquarson the dealer, and wins the horse's undying affection -- through high adventure in the hunting field, in point-to-point reading, and on the battlefields of the Great War, to their final triumph at Olympia - the story unfolds with such exciting incidents and such moments of poignancy that no reader, whether young or old, can well remain unmoved."BIXL
