Book Description
Equines are big business in this country, and that's not to be taken lightly, but as anyone who has spent much time around them knows, horses have a sense of themselves and refuse to be pigeon-holed, catalogued or otherwise restrained. When they are given their due as individual personalities, as they are in this book, an occasional startled giggle has to result. Calling on forty-plus years of experience, extensive research, and lots of trial-and-error, Joanne Friedman has put together a celebration of life with horses. A horseman's most important piece of equipment is a sense of humor, and Friedman liberally spices her advice with horse laughs. Whenever horses are called on to participate in human enlightenment, they do so with great enthusiasm and good humor. Meet the horses that populate Friedman's world, and your perception of life with horses will never be the same. Join Friedman and the horses of Gallant Hope Farm as they slog through mud season, experience Murphy's Law in full effect at a show, set up a (mostly) working farm, and learn about clicker training. Your perception of life with horses will never be the same.

Book Description
A Kiwi cowboy and his stubborn horse (nicknamed ‘Goddammityou-sonavabitch’) ride through America. Here’s how an ‘averagely dumb city-slicker’ looking for something to do on his summer holiday saw Dances With Wolves and was seduced by the lure of the West. Together with a small stubborn horse rescued from a career in the Belgian sausage industry, he travelled 3500 miles down the Rocky Mountains from Canada to Mexico. When Lee Hughes began, he didn’t know how to ride, and his horse, Spice (also known by his Indian name of ‘Goddammityou-sonavabitch’), wasn’t giving lessons either. Their relationship wasn’t exactly a partnership, more of an armed truce, but nevertheless they crossed rivers and deserts, mountains and plains, dodged buffalo and bears, moose and mountain lions, met policemen and preachers, cowboys and Indians, Democrats and all manner of respectable folk as well. They made it to Mexico only nine months late. Bones were broken, six-guns roared in anger and quicksands were explored the hard way. There were feasts, famines and some world-class drinking. Good deeds were done and dark ones concealed. And a good horse died. Around wintertime Lee and Spice bluffed their way on to a ranch and played at being a cowboy and a cowpony. 7000 cattle went along with the joke until summer, and then they headed south again, saddlebags bulging with rolled oats, baked beans and Cheez Whiz. What started out as just a summer holiday, grew until it filled a year with excitement and laughter, panic and peril and, ultimately, became this ‘mostly true story without too many lies or bits left out’.

Book Description
Josephine "Dadie" Jordan. Dadie, the niece of famed Charles Dana Gibson (creator of the Gibson Girl and former owner of Life Magazine) was born into a well-connected and powerful Washington, D.C., family, but learned at an early age that the life of a society girl was not for her. She set off on the journey of a lifetime, and her compelling story is a tug-o'-war between tragedy and triumph. Her only goal was to live life on her own terms no matter the consequences, and she did just that. Although Dadie manages to be simple and highly complicated at the same time, given the totality of her life, one can only admire her. Because she insisted on living her life on her terms and in her own way, her story is filled with ebbs and flows. These ebbs and flows are anything but minor, and her trials and tribulations are of the most consequential nature. Given the twists and turns in this book, one would think it must be a work of fiction. It's not fiction. This is the real-life story of one woman who constantly overcame obstacles in order to turn her dreams into reality. The public and the media often seem to be under the impression that celebrities and politicians are the only people worth writing about. Dadie Jordan takes the reader through her complex life, baring all and proving that nothing could be farther from the truth.
