		<description><![CDATA[Wild Hoofbeats wins 2009 National Best Books Award Wild Hoofbeats, by photographer/author Carol Walker, was given top honors in the &#8220;Photography: Nature&#8221; category of the National Best Books 2009 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News. The elegantly presented collection of evocative images also garnered praise as a finalist in the Interior Design category. Walker&#8217;s photographs do not fail to evoke heartfelt response. In Wild Hoofbeats, Walker adds a unique dimension as she marries the images to the story of her time spent closely observing the Adobe Town herd in Wyoming&#8217;s Red Desert. The combination of powerful photographs and moving prose gives the reader a sense of individual acquaintance with these graceful, intelligent animals. The 2009 National Best Books honors join an already impressive list of awards given to Wild Hoofbeats: * 2008 Pinnacle Book Award for Photography * Independent Publisher Book Awards: Silver Medal for West Mountain Region Best Non-fiction * Eric Hoffer Awards: Honorable Mention, Art Category * National Indie Excellence Awards: Finalist, Art Category * Benjamin Franklin Awards: Finalist, Animals/Pets Category Wild Hoofbeats is available at retail booksellers and on line at www.wildhoofbeats.com.

Question:  How did you manage to write a book on tour?  You did seven shows a week on the road with Cavalia.  Did you stay up all night or what? Magali answers:  It was not easy.  Many times David [co-writer David Walser] could just come for a few days, so we would speak with him during our day off.  Then, he usually came to see us working.   At night when we came back from the show, we would talk about the book until 3:00 in the morning.   Question:  You dedicated your book to Dao and Templado, two of your world-famous Lusitano stallions.  Describe what each horse contributed to your philosophy . . . Magali answers:  For me, Dao opened a door to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Horses with a Mission: Extraordinary True Stories of Equine Service Minneapolis, Minnesota, September 19, 2009 &#8211; Offered the chance, horses make conscious choices to provide service and show love. In their new book, Horses with a Mission: Extraordinary True Stories of Equine Service (New World Library, September 2009), best-selling, award-winning authors Allen and Linda Anderson chronicle 21 true stories of horses who have chosen their paths in life. These horses give without expecting a return, other than maybe the occasional carrot. Horses with a Mission is available in bookstores nationwide and online (www.HorseswithaMission.com ) . Award-winning author and equine photographer Vanessa Wright has her story featured in this unique book. &#8220;Under the Wings of Pegasus&#8221; tells of Wright&#8217;s 16-year-old gelding, Pegasus, who found his calling in &#8220;foal-sitting,&#8221; guiding and raising young horses. Pegasus was also the inspiration for Wright&#8217;s equestrian exhibit, The Literary Horse: When Legends Comes to Life, which is touring public and school libraries worldwide through 2012. (www.TheLiteraryHorse.com ) The Andersons say, &#8220;If you&#8217;ve ever thought that horses only display abilities on race tracks, in riding stables, in beer commercials, or in movies, you&#8217;re missing out on their ever-expanding services as sentient partners and willing coworkers.&#8221; The book [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tracey Elliot-Reep Riding by Faith from Mexico to Canada ACROSS AMERICA “You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.” CS Lewis THIS is a truly stunning book about the adventurous journey of photographer Tracey Elliot-Reep who set off one day with her two horses Smoky, a grey cutting horse, and Pistol, a newly broken bay, for company and rode from New Mexico to Canada across the heart of America’s Wild West. Six months later she completed her journey, despite many warnings that it was an impossible task, and now she has turned her personal diary into a gripping 310 pages –long tale filled with adventure, danger and inspiration which takes the reader through the territory of snakes, drug smugglers, wild animals and extreme weather and brings real cow boy and Indian country alive at the turn of every page. Accompanied by exquisite photography which provides a tangible recollection of the journey, and interspersed with biblical quotes and inspirational sayings this is true unput-downable stuff as you marvel at not only the magnificence of the American wild west, its history and people, but of the bravery of this lone English woman who was living her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ARE YOUR PASTURES SAFE? Not every thing growing in a pasture is safe for a horse to eat. Noxious and invasive plants are not only taking control of hundreds of acres of public lands but individual pastures where horseowners turn horses out for what looks like lush green grasses to graze. Knowing what is noxious, what is invasive and what is unsafe grazing for one&#8217;s horse can be a challenge. What is a noxious plant? An invasive weed? What do the plants look for? Where do they grow? And just how can this or that plant affect a horse who has grazed some of it? According to Bonnie Davis, respected clinician and freelance writer, who has worked with the National Park Service and California Department of Food and Agriculture on noxious and invasive plants, &#8220;A noxious plant is one that will build up toxic levels in a horse&#8217;s system which can seriously injury or kill the horse. Invasive plants are those that as they grow push out the normal or native plants which horses like to graze. Both plants are classified as weeds and often can be found not only in pastures but as landscape plants around homes, barns, buildings [...]]]></description>

Tracey has been reunited with her horses Pistol and Smoky, who have been stabled in Colorado, to retrace the journey, although this time she admits the use of a truck and trailer have made it an altogether different experience. Tracey said: &#8220;During my ride I was filmed by a TV crew at certain points during the ride, but there were segments that were missing so I&#8217;m back in America and we have been filling in the gaps where we didn&#8217;t have interview footage. There has been a lot of travelling, and it&#8217;s been really hot, but we should have everything finished by the end of August. It&#8217;s brought back a lot of very special memories of the incredible time I had riding across America and it was wonderful seeing Pistol and Smoky again who I could never sell after the experience [...]]]></description>
