The Story of Caballo Press of Ann Arbor

After four years of research, in 2006, Caballo Press of Ann Arbor's Publisher and
CEO, Dr. Rudolph Valier Alvarado submitted his award winning biography,
The Untold Story of Joe Hernandez: The Voice of Santa Anita, to several major
publishers. He was told that while the writing was excellent, no one would be
interested in Joe's life story. Undeterred, and with a firm belief in his story, Alvarado
turned to a couple of associates from Ann Arbor; they agreed to assist him in
publishing his biograpy on Joe Hernandez. In 2007, Caballo Press of Ann Arbor was
established for the sole purpose of publishing his book on Joe Hernandez.

The Untold Story of Joe Hernandez: The Voice of Santa Anita went on to win
Thoroughbred horse racing's most covented prize for writers, The Dr. Tony Ryan
Book Award, an award that recognizes Thoroughbred horse racing's Book of the
Year. The award is sponsored by Thoroughbred Times and Castleton Lyons. In
additon to this, Alvarado's biography was named a finalist for six national
book awards and the screenplay rights were sold to Thoroughbred essayist Marion
E. Altieri, who is currently writing the screenplay based on the book.

Following the success of Hernandez' biography, it was decided that Caballo Press
of Ann Arbor should live on! In 2009, Dr. Alvarado was named the Publisher and
CEO of the company.
______________________________________

It is the Mission of Caballo Press of Ann Arbor to publish compelling works related to
horses. We do not place an importance on the number of books we publish a year.
Instead, we focus on publishing books that our readers want to read. Furthermore,
a percentage of every book we publish goes to support a non-profit organization
related to horses. The only way that we found to assure that a percentage of every
book we sell goes to these non-profits was to establish our own online store. For
this reason, you will seldom find our books in bookstores, and if you find them there,
rest assured that they bought those books from us and that a percentage of the
sale price, wholesale, or retail, will go to a non-profit organization
related to horses.

In addition, it is the Mission of Caballo Press of Ann Arbor to explore innovative
ways to promote the books we publish. For example, our patrons can host a book
sigining event at their homes and invite their friends. This will ensure that everyone
there is actually interested in the subject of the book and will ensure a personal
experience with the author.

Finally, it is the Mission of Caballo Press of Ann Arbor to form friendships with our
patrons first and sell them one heck of a horsey book second!

At Caballo Press of Ann Arbor, we know that we're a relative yearling in the world of
Thoroughbred horse publishing, but were eager to make good!
