| Horsenameographies: Life Stories in a Race Horse Name Written by Horse Lovers Everywhere Introduction by Rudolph Alvarado Book Details Full Color Cover & B/W Interior Size: 5.5" x 8.5" Pages: 222 Photographs: 41 B/W Paperback ISBN: 0-9824766-3-9 ABOUT THIS BOOK Horse-name-AH-graphy? What's this book all about anyway? Not long ago, we asked horse lovers to answer this simple question: “If you had to make up a race horse name that captured the story of your life, what name would that be, and why?” Horse lovers from around the world took up the challenge. They sent us the stories of their lives in a race horse name and a few even sent in photographs. Some of the names were funny, some serious and some tragic, but all of them were inspiring in one way or another. This book is a collection of those stories. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Horsenameographies was written by Horse Lovers Everywhere. They come from all over the world and all share a love of horses, and cherish the role that horses have played, and continue to play, in their lives. PRAISE FOR HORSENAMEOGRAPHIES "This is truly a book of, by, and for the people. Beautiful in its utter simplicity, it manages to underscore the complexity of human experience on just about every page.... The horse people have written ... and they are surely worth reading!" Mary Simon, Contributing Editor, Thoroughbred Times "innovative and intriguing, Horsenameographies is a must-read... Caballo Press hits the winner's circle once again!" Claire Novak, NTRA.com "Wrapped in platinum, with a bow made of golden stars, this book will bring us to our knees and to tears of joy. But the most compelling thing that this book will do is move each reader to settle down for a while and genuinely go within." Marion E. Altieri, Mairzy Doats, Saratoga.com "Horsenameographies proves to be accrued pleasure, building its own steady case as an opportunity for people to define themselves in terms other horse lovers would readily understand." Jay Hoveday, The Daily Racing Form "A novel concept and a fascinating read! Some of the names are humorous, some quite simple, and some offer a momentary look deep into the hearts and minds of people who have been touched by the emotional and spiritual impact of horses." John Hernandez, Thoroughbred Connection "It is quite remarkable that so many people were willing to share the intimate details of horrendous childhoods, life-threatening illnesses, and devastating personal losses to describe the seemingly miraculous ways in which horses have healed them in body and spirit. The life experiences, and the names that flow from them, are proof not only of the powerful bond between human and horse, but also the way in which we channel the power, beauty and determination of a horse to give our lives direction and purpose." Audrey Korotkin, Two Time eclipse Award Winner and the First Executive Director of Triple Crown Productions ORDER THIS BOOK AT A LOCAL BOOKSTORE Neighborhood Stores: To find a neighborhood bookstore near you, Caballo Press of Ann Arbor recommends SuperPages.com's Book Dealer search page.
