Pre-Orders Now Being Taken for the New Book!
The new book, Between the Reins, A Continuing Journey into Honest Horsemanship, is done! It is with the printer and we're awaiting a proof copy this week and then the books will start shipping! Also, the new edition of A Horse’s Thought has been a huge hit! Thanks again to Chris Legg of BlueFin (www.bluefinagency.com) for his masterful layout work.
At the request of several folks, I’ve begun taking pre-orders. In fact, as the advanced orders list keeps growing I’ve realized it will help on this end to determine how many books to print on the first run. So, I’m opening pre-sales up here on the website for anyone who is interested. Just visit the “Books” page, click the pre-order link, and we take Paypal. These early orders will be filled first when the books arrive in stock
Excerpts from the new book are set to run in the next issues of Eclectic-Horseman and America’s Horse magazines, which I’m very excited about. The book is a continuation of the journey chronicled in, A Horse’s Thought, and is the next series of my horsemanship misadventures with clinician, Harry Whitney’s, sage advice in helped me get things sorted out.
Speaking of Harry, I’m just back from a sudden trip for a week of his clinics up at Fitz Farm in Eagle Lake, Minnesota. I met Suzy FitzSimmons at Mendin’ Fences Farm in Tennessee this year—she has hosted Harry up there for more than a decade and a half, and came down to Tennessee to ride this summer--
and she graciously offered me the chance to come and take in the clinics at her place. I actually braved the airports of five states (not my strong suite) as every single flight on my itinerary was cancelled, late, and unconnected...otherwise, the trip was a fantastic time! I met a ton of great folks and horses, and signed a bunch of books. Thanks to everybody...you were all so much fun and hospitable, and it is something to see first hand how Harry’s teaching has taken hold in a different part of America than what I’ve seen before. I’ll post a couple photos from Minnesota here for you to have a look.
I’ll keep the new book’s progress posted here!
