Reviews:
"On a trip to Arizona Michael Landon gets sidetracked buying a white horse as a gift for Lorne Greene's birthday. Landon and Martin Landau fall into the clutches of comanchero chief Jim Davis who really fancies the horse. So in fact does Landau.

The rest of the Cartwrights are looking for Landon on the desert. All the characters meet a destiny on said desert.

Good guest star performances from Landau and Davis." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

"This is another one of my favorite episodes.

At the beginning, Little Joe is missing. He had gone off to get a special gift - a horse - for his father. But raiding killed many men and Ben and his sons needed to go find him.

Emeliano and Little Joe worked so hard to try to save this horse. He was so special, in fact, that Emeliano would rather die then see something happen to his horse.

After the unthinkable happens, Little Joe continues on with the gift for his father. But more tragedy strikes. I always cry at the end of this one right along with Joe. It's so special to see the father-son moment in such a unique and un-mocho way. Ben loved his sons more than anything. Nothing would ever stop him from going when one needed him, and likewise. Little Joe's failure to give his father the gift was heart-breaking...But it's like Ben said - he had the best gift in his arms..." Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
