I loved this little story. In only 7 k words, the author has managed to tell a wonderfully satisfying, complete story with complex, engaging characters.

Dr. Katie McCarty is a newly-minted veterinarian. Early one morning she gets a call from a handsome Deputy to look at a colt that has been raised for expensive breeding stock. Someone has snuck into the stables and gelded this magnificent specimen of Show Horse.

Aside from losing his manhood, the colt will be all right. It is the ‘horse whisperer’ the stables maintain who worries Katie.

Just who and why someone would neuter the colt from the long line of ‘Impressive’ breeding stock is the mystery that Katie and the Deputy must solve...

I understand this may be the first in a series. I certainly hope so; I want to read more of Katie and her friends, family, and foes.

Dr. Katie McCarty is pleased to be called into a horse case by local Deputy Sheriff Shallamon. It seems that a well bred Impressive colt has been castrated in his stall. To make things worse, this isn’t the only colt that has been suddenly, unexpectedly gelded. In Impressive Bravado, Katie works against the clock to determine who has carried out this deed and also what their motive may be.

Short story about a Veterinarian and horses. Very quick but has some spots of character.
