Description:
Renowned for his inquisitive nature and unconventional approach to the pursuit of exceptional horse-based stories, Moates is a leading equestrian magazine journalist with more than 350 published articles to his credit. His previous books, Discovering Natural Horsemanship, A Horse's Thought, and Between the Reins, chronicle his earnest attempts to improve his horsemanship skills, often with the tolerant guidance of celebrated clinician, Harry Whitney, of Salome, Arizona. In a recent issue, Western Horseman magazine said of his earlier titles: "A skilled storyteller and gifted writer, Moates's ongoing contributions to the equestrian literary canon make for inspiring reading." Round-Up: A… Gathering of Equine Writings compiles 20 of Moates's most notable articles and essays. The majority of the stories originally ran in magazines such as America's Horse, The American Quarter Horse Journal, Eclectic-Horseman, Equus, and Western Horseman. In the foreword contributed by A. J. Mangum (creator of The Frontier Project video documentary series and editor of Ranch and Reata magazine) the collection is summed up: "Tom shares his pursuit of answers with a brand of journalism fueled by an intellectual curiosity his peers in the equestrian media would be wise to emulate, providing in the end a wisdom forged by observations, impressions and firsthand experiences." Remarkable horses and horse folk alike from a wide spectrum of experiences are profiled in this compilation. From horseback adventures measured in the thousands of miles by such people as novelist, Douglas Preston, and Olympic medalist, David O'Connor, to behind-the-scenes profiles of horses such as Joe, a beloved and long time Professional Bull Riders pick up horse, the collection is filled with unique stories of ranch women, Texas day work cowboys, Hollywood horse wranglers, and a veterinarian pioneering innovative wound healing technology--Round-Up: A Gathering of Equine Writings is sure to satisfy the heart of any horse lover.
