Gunpowder the Cow Pony is the narrator of a comical and heart touching story about how he and this little country boy named Conrad grew together to become an inseparable team. They begin their summer adventures by solving the mystery of the disappearance of Ole Seven, the milk cow and getting painfully buzzed while robbing the honey out of a beehive. They go on a rope-throwing wild cow hunt with Mr. Winks, the horseshoer, and his two cow-catching dogs. Finally, all clean, spit-polished and trembling with excitement, Conrad meets the love of his life as they ride beneath the night lights in the grand entry at the Brownwood Rodeo.
