Black Storm Coming by Diane Wilson; pony express-younger
Centennial by James Michener; great for a mature reader
Green Grass of Wyoming, My Wyoming Summer, Thunderhead and My Friend Flicka
by Mary O'hara;
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry; for a mature reader
Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey have many and some are YA;
Pony by Palacio is really good and reminds me of an old western;
The Red Pony by John Steinbeck
Shane by Jack Schaefer;

NF-The Last Gunfight by Jeff Guinn
