A Thousand Miles of Mustangin (Paperback): Ben K Green A Thousand Miles of Mustangin (Paperback)
Ben K Green
R427 Discovery Miles 4 270 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

It was the "late days of the Depression", times were hard and money scarce, and Ben Green "had about used up all the hard ways to make a living a-horseback". So when he heard talk of the wild mustangs free for the taking in the Big Bend country of West Texas, he saddled a road horse, put his camp on a pack horse, and headed west from Weatherford, Texas. Ben recounts his tale at an easy lope, through hot days and cold nights, with dashes of danger along the way.

Some More Horse Tradin' (Paperback): Ben K Green Some More Horse Tradin' (Paperback)
Ben K Green
R494 R415 Discovery Miles 4 150 Save R79 (16%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

From the same corral that produced the widely loved "Horse Tradin'," Ben K. Green has rounded up fifteen new yarns filled with the ornery yet irresistible style that has earned his books a place in classic Western Americana.

"Some More Horse Tradin'" recounts the dealings of a whole slew of craggy old-timers and rangy characters. See them match wits as they trade well-bred mares, snorty-like range colts, and used-to-be-bad horses from the tumbleweed plains. Admire the old-time knavery, skill, and salesmanship in such tales as "Gittin' Even," "Brethren Horse Traders," "Mule Schoolin'," and "Water Treatment and the Sore-Tailed Bronc." Ride along with Green, and he'll tell you what he knows about horseflesh--but keep your wits about you, and hang on to your wallet.

The Village Horse Doctor - West of the Pecos (Paperback): Ben K Green The Village Horse Doctor - West of the Pecos (Paperback)
Ben K Green
R481 R407 Discovery Miles 4 070 Save R74 (15%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ben K. Green takes us back to the deep Southwest and the never-a-dull-moment years he spent as a practicing horse doctor along the Pecos and the Rio Grande. With precious little formal schooling but a perfect corralside manner and plenty of natural wit, Green became the first to hang up a shingle in the trans-Pecos territory. Hear him tell the tales of his struggles with mean stockmen, yellowweed fever, banditos, poison hay, and "drouth". His canny mix of science and horse sense when treating animals "that ain't house pets" is 100-proof old time pleasure.

A veterinarian in the far Southwest for much of his life, Ben K. Green retired to ranch in Texas until his death in 1974.

Wild Cow Tales (Paperback): Ben K Green Wild Cow Tales (Paperback)
Ben K Green
R547 R460 Discovery Miles 4 600 Save R87 (16%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In thirteen stories full of rope burns and brush scratches, the author of the classic Horse Tradin' tells of the days when he made a specialty of catching wild cows.

Ben K. Green calls himself a "stove-up old cowboy", and readers of this book will learn soon enough where the broken bones came from. Green tells of his adventures with wild steers, sharing with readers the years he worked in thorny brush and canyon country delivering those animals that were too wily or too wild for the normal roundup. Finding them was hard, even dangerous, work. Few cowboys looked for such chores. Green declares, "I got real good at it, but of course in those days I didn't know any better".
