This is the true story of the most remarkable horse in history.
Foaled in the lavish Ottoman stables of the Topkapl Palace in the
late 1870s, this dark bay stallion was hard schooled in the
disciplines of war. Until now, his remarkable story has never been
told.
Teenagers, Brooke Anne and James, are strong competitors who train
dogs to win in North American dog-sled races. Besides racing, great
challenges come from a prize lead-dog gone deaf, a grizzly bear on
attack, a crash through Yukon River ice, and a charging moose.
Experiences are either told by Brooke Anne or by James. Their
adventures bring danger, outstanding dogs, tests of culture, and a
glimpse of lives evolving.
The true story of one woman's fight against horse shoes.
Linda Chamberlain feared metal shoes were harming horses. In this light-hearted account she tells how she battled with her farrier, coped with derision from other riders and saved a horse from slaughter.
Mistakes, falls and triumphs are recorded against the background of a divided equine world which was defending the tradition of shoeing...with prosecutions.
The story of how I first got introduced to the Greyhound Racing
World, as the Track Announcer at the Woodlands Racetrack in Kansas
City, KS, back when the track first opened in 1989. This book
recalls my many memories and experiences at that track and the road
that ultimately led me to become the on-air host for the popular
Internet Racing show known as Bigjackpotbetting.com, that is
currently sweeping the nation and the world bringing live Greyhound
Racing Action directly into the homes of the racing fans.
