Pages : 353
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “classic American dream story” (USA Today) about a man and his horse, an unlikely duo whose legendary rise to stardom in show jumping captivated the nation, from the award-winning author of The Perfect Horse and The Ride of Her Life “If you loved the story of Seabiscuit, the surprise champion racehorse . . . check out the true story of Snowman.”—San Jose Mercury News Harry de Leyer first saw the horse he would name Snowman on a truck bound for the slaughterhouse. He recognized the spark in the eye of the beaten-up nag and bought him for eighty dollars. On Harry’s modest farm on Long Island, the even-tempered horse thrived. But the recent Dutch immigrant and his growing family needed money, so Harry reluctantly sold Snowman to a farm a few miles down the road. But Snowman had other ideas about what Harry needed. When he turned up back at Harry’s barn, dragging an old tire and a broken fence board, Harry knew he had misjudged the horse and set about teaching the shaggy, easygoing gelding to fly. One show at a time, against extraordinary odds, the pair soared past the most expensive thoroughbreds alive, reaching the very top of the sport of show jumping. The story of this dynamic duo captured the heart of Cold War–era America—a story of unstoppable hope, inconceivable dreams, and a chance to have it all.

Horse Crazy
Author: Sarah Maslin Nir
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 1501196235
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
ONE OF USA TODAY'S “20 SUMMER BOOKS YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS” In the bestselling tradition of works by such authors as Susan Orlean and Mary Roach, a New York Times reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist explores why so many people—including herself—are obsessed with horses. It may surprise you to learn that there are over seven million horses in America—even more than when they were the only means of transportation—and nearly two million horse owners. Acclaimed journalist and avid equestrian Sarah Maslin Nir is one of them; she began riding horses when she was just two years old and hasn’t stopped since. Horse Crazy is a fascinating, funny, and moving love letter to these graceful animals and the people who—like her—are obsessed with them. It is also a coming-of-age story of Nir growing up an outsider within the world’s most elite inner circles, and finding her true north in horses. Nir takes readers into the lesser-known corners of the riding world and profiles some of its most captivating figures. We meet Monty Roberts, the California trainer whose prowess earned him the nickname “the man who listens to horses,” and his pet deer; George and Ann Blair, who at their riding academy on a tiny island in Manhattan’s Harlem River seek to resurrect the erased legacy of the African American cowboy; and Francesca Kelly, whose love for an Indian nobleman shaped her life’s mission: to protect an endangered Indian breed of horse and bring them to America. Woven into these compelling character studies, Nir shares her own moving personal narrative. She details her father’s harrowing tale of surviving the Holocaust, and describes an enchanted but deeply lonely upbringing in Manhattan, where horses became her family. She found them even in the middle of the city, in a stable disguised in an old townhouse and in Central Park, when she chased down truants as an auxiliary mounted patrol officer. And she speaks candidly of how horses have helped her overcome heartbreak and loss. Infused with heart and wit, and with each chapter named after a horse Nir has loved, Horse Crazy is an unforgettable blend of beautifully written memoir and first-rate reporting.

Book Description
When Carole Hanson learns that the newly elected president of a Middle Eastern country will be visiting Washington with his horse-crazy daughter, it seems only natural to write the girl a letter inviting her to come for a ride at Pine Hollow. Carole thinks she might get a reply with an interesting stamp on it. Instead of a stamp, however, Carole gets men with dark suits and sunglasses who walk around Pine Hollow talking into their lapels, looking for spies in the hayloft, and asking for security clearance for horses. Isn't this a little extreme? Especially since the four girls only wanted to go on a trail ride! But when a real spy turns up at Pine Hollow, The Saddle Club rides to the rescue to protect national horse safety!

A Letter from Dad

Category : Self-Help

Pages : 25
Book Description
I'm from a small town called Shreveport Louisiana" Cooper Rd" to be exact. Born in Parkland Hospital ( Dallas Texas) but all I know is Shreveport Louisiana. I wrote this book for my children and hopefully their children's children. Generation of my bloodline after I'm long gone. I didn't want anyone else to write or tell my story so I decided to do it and tell myself. Besides God, I was the only character there at all times. It wasn't easy growing up in them concrete jungles of Shreveport Louisiana. Poverty everywhere, as far as the eye could see. All we had was each other. We called it family. Everything was about prayer and God. Thunder and lightning outside don't make no noise. Take your hat off in the house and don't sweep nobody's foot with that broom. This book is for my children who I love with all of my heart and soul. I don't be around them like I wish I could because of their mom, but that's ok I'm learning to deal with it. It's not easy at all, half the time I feel broken. Depressed. The very reason for this book. I hope my son's grow up to be good well mannered men, and I hope that my only daughter grows up to be the angel that I always dreamed she'd be. I hope she takes her time and be patient. Daddy loves you. Always have and always will and there ain't nothing on this earth that you can do about it. Have fun and enjoy life. Remember God, and remember peace. Leave you all with just two little words:" Take Plenty"! Have no idea of where am at or where I'm going but I hope this letter finds all of you in the best of health. If God is with you, then who on earth can stand up against you. Peace
