Free to Drink the Wind: a Misty West Mystery Nellene Mailander

When Misty sees the beautiful Arabian through her mother's high-powered binoculars, she knows she's found a horse like no other. Then the owner of the ranch where she spotted the horse comes up missing, and she and her brother Ben discover strange army vehicles prowling about the prairie hills. When 800-pound calves disappear, and the sheriff won't investigate, the ranchers decide to take things into their own hands, and Misty and her brothers spend a weekend like they've never known before. They learn that the love of Arabian horses can drive people to behave in ways irrational and endearing -and that evil exists in the most unexpected places. This tale, set in the vast Sandhills of Nebraska, is a real-life mystery with adventure, romance, and a hero of one of the highest and oldest orders - the Arabian horse.
