A Home for Steamboat: The Story of a Famous Rodeo Horse

“A well-crafted, heartfelt narrative with lush and quirky visuals and a message of perseverance” – Kirkus Reviews (Our Verdict is Get It)

As one of the eleven Saddle Bronc Horses inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, Steamboat embodies the spirit of independence and strong-will. He stomped and stamped his silhouette we currently see into the symbol of the West.

A Home for Steamboat is a story about a horse with an unbreakable spirit. Widely known as the symbol of Wyoming, the bucking bronco’s silhouette has been a symbol on the state’s license plate since 1936. He was cared for as a foal by a loving family and then later sold to a wealthy ranch owner. His cowhands tried to break the young horse, but the born bucker had a mind of his own. Steamboat could not be broken. He was sold again, this time to a man who felt a kinship with the horse’s strong will and independence. Steamboat had finally found his true home. Based on the famous horse’s life, A Home for Steamboat will inspire young cowboys and cowgirls to never give up.
