A scruffy Arabian colt of the mountainous Latin American outback is purchasedby North American Tracer Montrose the morning his wife, Constance, angrilypacks to leave him. The horse being a gift that Constance cannot check forher flight home, she delays her departure. She names him Ali Zán?and soonencounters a herd of his kin fleeing a highland inferno. Tracer unites equestrianclub riders and dirt-roughened cowboys to save the animals. The mismatchedbunch form a trail riding club. Meanwhile, the purchase of Napoleon andTrue Love causes a cramp in Ali Zán’s stable space. These older horses arebright and abrasive, strong and fearless, and champion the outback equineduring nerve-wracking jumps, turns, and races. Tracer and Constance, ridernovices, persist upon the backs of their steeds within the club arena and alongthe outback abyss, as well. But their horses poorly manage long-pent demandsto achieve maddened equine goals. Their competitive spirits turn upon them.They find that neither rider nor trail obstruct them; that their devils must beaccosted elsewhere. The youthful Ali Zán interprets this heart-rending tale bywhich horse and human are ridden, driven, and, sometimes, bound.
