Suddenly, something big and white bumps up against the car, and I jump.
I think I must be dreamin', 'cause I just saw a horse run by.
When Cole's mom dumps him in the mean streets of Philly to live with the
dad he's never met, the last thing he expects to see is a horse--let
alone a stable full of them. He may not know much about cowboys, but
what he knows for sure is that cowboys ain't black, and they don't live
in the 'hood. But here, horses are a way of life, and soon Cole's days
of skipping school and getting in trouble in Detroit have been replaced
by shoveling muck and trying not to get stomped on.
At first, all Cole can think about is how to ditch these ghetto cowboys
and get home, but when the City threatens to shut down the stables--and
take away the horse that Cole has come to think of as his own--he knows
it's time to step up and fight back.
Inspired by the real-life inner-city horsemen of Philadelphia and
Brooklyn, Ghetto Cowboy is a timeless urban western about learning to
stand up for what's right--the Cowboy Way.
