Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When eighth grader Abby Lovitt looks out at those pure-gold rolling hills, she knows there’s no place she’d rather be than her family’s ranch—even with all the hard work of tending to nine horses. But some chores are no work at all, like grooming young Jack. At eight months, his rough foal coat has shed out, leaving a smooth, rich silk, like chocolate. As for Black George, such a good horse, it turns out he’s a natural jumper. When he and Abby clear four feet easy as pie, heads start to turn at the ring—buyers’ heads—and Abby knows Daddy won’t turn down a good offer. Then a letter arrives from a private investigator, and suddenly Abby stands to lose not one horse but two. The letter states that Jack’s mare may have been sold to the Lovitts as stolen goods. A mystery unfolds, more surprising than Abby could ever expect. Will she lose her beloved Jack to his rightful owners? Pulitzer Prize winner Jane Smiley raises horses of her own, and her affection and expertise shine through in this inviting horse novel for young readers, set in 1960s California horse country and featuring characters from The Georges and the Jewels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden atop Montana¿s Pryor Mountain, the last of the purebred Spanish mustangs still roam free. They are the direct descendants of Cortez¿s noble jennets and a rare breed. For over two hundred years they have lived in an isolated Garden of Eden, safe from the outside world and the most feared predator of all ¿ man. But in 1919, when a band of cowboys discover their whereabouts, all tranquility ends. The taking of free mustangs on Federal land becomes a lucrative but tainted business. Over the next twenty years the cowboys systematically slaughter thirty thousand horses and ship the carcasses to cannery plants hungry for cheap feed. By the summer of 1939, less than one thousand jennets remain alive. Enter seventeen-year-old Billy Bartell. Desperate to flee a macabre life as a mortician, Billy all-too eagerly takes up company among the last of the old West drovers. It seems Billy has the requisite skills to both hunt down the horses and prep the creatures¿ carcasses for the iced-down boxcars. Yet, the pact he makes with the camp boss, Captain Belial, may not have been his wisest decision. Getting out of a pact with the devil never is. Now, Billy is faced with another monumental decision: continue eradicating the herds or save the last of the good horses from extinction.
Download or read book A Good Horse Is Never a Bad Color written by Mark Rashid and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Good Horse Is Never a Bad Color, Mark Rashid continues to share his talent for training horses through communication rather than force. Rashid uses humorous, feel-good stories to relate his techniques of teaching horses by examining their view of the world. These stories deal with many aspects of buying, owning, and training horses with a special focus on those that are troubled and hard-to-train. The arrested development of horses like these, Rashid shows, is often a result of their trainers’ own lack of understanding of their unique psychologies. With stories that stress the importance of patience and understanding, this book is a must-have for compassionate horse trainers and owners. Tales of Arabs, appaloosas, and paints—mistrusted and mistreated because of their breed—will give readers a new perspective on these breeds and others. Sometimes, it’s the attitude that needs to be fixed rather than the horse. Rashid’s accounts of horses bound for slaughter because they were considered impossible to train will inspire you to give your own problem horse a second look. This new edition features added introductory notes for each chapter that contribute to a better understanding of Rashid’s philosophy and methods.
