I Buy Me Couple Horses

When a man decides he wants "a couple horses," he may be asking for trouble—and W. C. Tuttle's hero gets it by the trailer-load. What starts as a simple dream of country life turns into a comic stampede of salesmen, saddle tramps, and four-legged disasters. Every horse seems to come with a glowing pitch, a questionable pedigree, and a talent for mayhem. There's the elegant animal who can strip a shirt off your back, the pony that spins so fast it rearranges your clothes, and the bargain horse that looks fine until the stable starts coming apart around him. Tuttle's sharp, laconic humor and gift for Western exaggeration turn horse trading into a riotous battle of pride, gullibility, and plain bad luck. The narrator may not know much about horses, but he knows enough to recognize a con when he's been kicked by one. And just when he thinks he's found the perfect mount, the real challenge begins: surviving it. I Buy Me Couple Horses is a fast, funny Western tale full of colorful characters, outrageous mishaps, and the kind of dry frontier wit that makes every disaster feel like a punchline. For readers who enjoy classic cowboy comedy with a wild streak, this is a ride worth taking. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
