What ages would I recommend it too? Five and up.

Length? A couple of hours.

Characters? Memorable, several characters.

Setting? Real world, southwest US pre-1900.

Written approximately? 1940.

Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? Ready to read more.

Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? No.

Short storyline: A colt is born bind, and a pre-teen rancher wants to keep him alive, and not kill him out of mercy.

Notes for the reader: My book was so old, the pages crumbled.

Spoiler alert: Reading the end, you get the feeling that the old man used his horse trader senses to encourage the pre-teen to work really hard to save the colt. He likely knew all along everything the boy did. A heart warming story.
