Book Description
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would marry a "Horse Lady," a beautiful but stubborn woman who lived, breathed and dreamed horses. But from the day I met her, I felt her impact on my life and it was profound. It convinced me first to spend considerable time at the barn, a place which I never even thought of previously. And it motivated me to want to learn how to care for and learn to love horses as well, since all " horse ladies" live by the motto: "Love me, love my horses." So, after nearly seventeen year of being a "Horse Husband", I decided it was time to document this lifestyle which has changed me so much. Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks?Confessions of a "Horse Husband" is a story of learning, making mistakes, paying for those mistakes with bruises and painful toes among other body parts, but also having fun, enjoying the fresh air and open space and experiencing love like I never knew before. It is my story in my own words about some of the most memorable moments in my life. Living with a "Horse Lady" is never dull, it's full of surprises and it covers many situations, many wonderful and some not so much. Many extremes are faced such as feeding horses on cold, frosty mornings as well as hot and humid oppressive Florida summers; from enjoying a trail ride with my wife and other equestrians to having a big toe crunched by a twelve hundred pound mare; or even waking up to find that over a dozen stalls must be stripped and re-bedded or even directing parking for participants at an equestrian event where the ground is a quagmire under a cold, pouring rain. And, of course, for laughs there's the story of the pony and goat getting loose in the feed room after devouring roses, or sitting up all night with a sick horse or a mare preparing to foal. The book includes beauty, pride, joy, love, humor, sadness and so much more.There's Hailey the "Boss Mare", who rules the herd completely. Then there's the old man, Gabe, a gelding in the twilight of his years yet still capable of causing a surprise when he wants. Or what about Flannel Jams, the retired track horse who has a wonderful disposition unless you come on to strong. And we can't leave out the ponies, like bulky and strong Charm, a beauty who loves to tease, just like her mother who gained the nickname, the "Pony of the Corn". And these are just a few of those wonderful animals that "The Horse Lady" and I have fed, watered and cared for as part of our family.But make no mistake, the real "Boss Mare" of our family herd is not a horse, but "The Horse Lady" jerself. Come take a ""look see" at our story, if you love horses it's a "no brainer". If you know nothing about horses you might learn something of interest and have some fun to boot. It's about living an active lifestyle and loving it. You can't sleep in on Saturday with horses but you find that you don't want to.Come join us and find out why this "Horse Husband", despite a few questioning moments, wouldn't change his lifestyle for anything.

Book Description
Violet McNeal ran away from her family’s rural Minnesota farm in the late 1880s and fell under the spell of conman and patent medicine “doctor” Will Archimbauld who hooked her on opium and promises of fame and fortune. Violet soon learned to become Princess Lotus Blossom and was the best pitchman, nostrum seller, and conwoman to roam the west in a torch-lit wagon. Four White Horses and a Brass Band is Violet’s story of life on the road with the medicine show and reveal the secrets of conman’s trade. Sick and nearly dead with addiction by age 30, she submits to the tortures of withdrawal and the “cure” to create a new life. First published in 1947, the Feral House edition features an extensive afterword on the history of the patent medicine trade and evolution of the lure of miracle cures and healers. Also included are a glossary of the grifter’s cant and samples of scripts used by Violet and other infamous “doctors”.
Author: Breyten Breytenbach Publisher: Archipelago ISBN: 1935744259 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 129
Book Description
All One Horse is a marvel-filled journey through Breyten Breytenbach’s kaleidoscopic imagination. The electrifying colors and penetrating images of his paintings converse with his lyrical and satirical dream-fables. These visions and parables emerge from a mélange of cultures and traditions: African and Eastern thought, the spirit world, and the spheres of visual art, philosophy, history and politics. Breytenbach’s watercolors communicate in hieroglyphs, where private conversation embraces myth and dream. These reflections and images – clear and complex at once – are cries for human dignity and justice, are truth disguised as play. With octopus-like grace, Breytenbach pulls together worlds and watches them dance and struggle together; echoes of Afrikaans haunt his English, the fantastic melds into the quotidian, love glimmers beneath rage, the immediate rises to the universal.
