Book overview

The American horse is "a canvas on which we've painted American identity."

For the more than two million horse owners in the United States and the countless others who dream of riding, here is a collection offering the best writing about horses from America's best writers. "Horse Whisperer" Buck Brannaman, New York Time's best-seller Melinda Roth, and a dozen other writers offer engaging stories that will if not keep you in the saddle at least have you reading comfortably for hours in your favorite chair- including the classic Black Beauty, admiring portraits of historic thoroughbreds Secretariat and Citation, and life with bucking broncos, wild mustangs, and every type of horse in between.
