1928. One of three volumes from the Horse Stories for Boys series. The book begins: A solemn and momentous conference was being held in Dr. Burbank's stable. The subject of discussion was old Nettie's newborn cold, and those participating in it were Dr. Burbank, Dr. Wragg, the veterinary, and Josh Thibber. The three of them stood just outside old Nettie's stall, leaning their elbows on the lower half of the stall door, peering in at Nettie and her colt as they talked.
