Buffalo Bill & His Wild West: A Pictorial Biography
by: Rosa, Joseph G. & May, Robin
Who more than Buffalo Bill symbolizes the American West? William Frederick Cody (1846-1917) personified, packaged, and perpetuated the myth of the Wild West. This lively biography documents fully the events of his extraordinary career as a buffalo hunter, army scout, freighter, and guide on the Great Plains, and as a showman on two continents. More than 150 fully captioned historic photographs--many never before published--depict Buffalo Bill from his childhood days to his reign as a superlative actor and producer whose Wild West remains unique in the annals of show business. This volume preserves the color and spectacle of a bygone era--and, best of all, shows that that the real and heroic figure rivals the invented and legendary Buffalo Bill. B/W photos. 243 pgs.

Chosen By A Horse (A Memoir)
by: Richards, Susan
The horse Susan Richards chose for rescue wouldn't be corralled into her waiting trailer. Instead Lay Me Down, a former racehorse with a foal close on her heels, walked right up that ramp and into Susan's life. This gentle creature, malnourished, plagued by pneumonia and an eye infection, had endured a rough road, but somehow her heart was still open and generous. It seemed fated that she would come into Susan's paddock and teach her how to embrace the joys of life despite the dangers of living. An elegant and often heartbreaking tale filled with animal characters as complicated and lively as their human counterparts, this is an inspiring story of courage and hope and the ways in which all love, even an animal's, has the power to heal.

by: Froissard, Jean
Here at last is a single volume in which every principal and problem of training, instruction, equitation, school, stables and activities is analyzed and discussed from the viewpoints of all three participants – teacher, rider and horse. Jean Froissard, one of France's most dynamic riding masters, speaks here to the young instructor who more often than not finds himself entrusted with beginning riders and with horses he must train or, worse, retrain. Yet he also speaks to the young horseman, for in explaining to the teacher what it is that makes his horses and pupils tick, by the same token he explains to the pupil the functioning and motivation of his horse and teacher. Of special interest to instructors and directors of riding schools will be the last section of the book, "The Lighter Side," in which the author gives detailed information and advice on the very delicate problems of the closely related matters of stable management, organization of activities, and human relations in a special environment.

Horseback Riding Made Fun & Easy
by: Coen, Sue
This book is a combination of three texts written by Sue Coen to accompany equitation instruction at her Windy Hill Stable. The author felt a definite need for a very simple, very basic book that would accompany this instruction without confusing the students with too much detail. This book is not intended to take the place of good instruction; it is intended as a supplement to be used along with instruction to reinforce what is being taught in the riding ring. There is no substitute for actual instruction and criticism from a competent instructor. Besides developing patience and consideration, horseback riding also develops self-discipline. Covers: Fundamentals, walk, trot, canter, back, tack, care, emergencies, rules. Photos & Illustrations. 253 pgs.
