Trailsman #377 : Bounty Hunt (9781101604007) (2013)
“The pain eclipsed nearly every other sensation. He was vaguely aware the stallion had kept on going and knew it wouldn’t go far.
Struggling not to pass out, he got his hands under him, and rolled over. The effort brought a fresh wave of agony. He sensed that nothing was broken although he couldn’t be sure.
His vision swimming, he rolled a second time and felt leaves brush his face. Hooves pounded, and for a few harrowing moments he thought Niyan would ride right over him. But the hooves... drummed past.
Suddenly he could see again. He was in a thicket. The impact had knocked him not only clear of his saddle but sent him flying a good eight to ten feet. Smothering a groan, he sat up.
He looked to the right and saw the other outlaws fifty to sixty yards away, coming on fast. He looked to the left and there was Niyan, about to overtake the Ovaro, which had slowed. The breed was glancing all around.MoreLess
