Hi you all, another animal submission for your validating pleasure.
Wild Horses I have Known
By Hope Ryden
From the Book Jacket:
To understand any domesticated animal, it is useful to understand how its
wild counterpart lives. Watch lions and you will see your cat. Study wolves
and you will know your dog. And observe wild mustangs and you will gain
insight into your horse.
Hope Ryden did just that. For three decades she has made repeated field
trips to wild horse country to observe and photograph the activities of
free-roaming mustangs. In conversational essays and with stunning, up-close
photographs, Ms. Ryden presents readers with fascinating observations of the
social hierarchies, survival strategies, and habits of wild horses. She also
recounts personal adventures, some terrifying, some funny, and some
mysterious.
The result is a book as thoughtful as it is beautiful and as informative as
it is exciting. Readers will never again look at a domestic horse in the
same way.
HOPE RYDEN is one of the foremost authorities on America's wild horses. She
helped to draft federal legislation to protect them and has served as an
expert witness in court on their behalf. This is her fourth nonfiction book
on wild horses, and her articles and photographs on the subject have
appeared in National Geographic and other publications. Ms. Ryden has also
authored a novel, Wild Horse Summer, set in the Pryor Mountains, where most
of the pictures in this book were taken.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.
