In his third adventure, Quincy the red horse finds himself
face to face with a bully. Afraid of the wild animals he
might encounter while trail riding in the desert, he seeks
out Buck as a trail buddy. But Quincy quickly learns that
Buck is a bully, and because bullies can be dangerous, it is
best to give them a wide berth where possible. Over the
course of the day, Buck shows that he is a coward underneath
a mean facade, and Quincy falls back on his own strengths,
conquers his fears, and makes it home safely. His tale takes
young readers on a very real trail ride where they will feel
the sun on their backs, hear the crunch of Quincy's hooves
in the sand wash, and see the ominous late afternoon shadows
as the sun begins to set. The story encourages empathy and
love for animals while expanding horizons and providing a
framework for helping children identify and deal with the
complex emotions and interactions involved in bullying.
