DK Eyewitness Horse Book
By Juliet Clutton-Brock
Publisher: Dorling Kindersley Limited, 1st American Edition 1992, ISBN: 0-789-49807-3
Browsers will find this smorgasbord of equine facts fascinating. Each double page spread contains a brief theme paragraph that describes the topic, along with captioned photos of horses, reproductions of the animal found in art and artifacts, and related equestrian gear. Subjects include history, anatomy, physiology, breeds, colors, and uses of horses, asses, mules, and zebras. In the hodgepodge of captions, a few errors surfaced: a spur is identified as a stirrup, a gelding described as a mare, a running martingale as a curb rein, a Kimberwicke bit as a bridoon, and a piaffe as a flying lead change. The British origin won't bother U. S. readers, as the information represents horses around the world. --Charlene Strickland

Sand Dune Pony A Troy Nesbit Mystery Vintage Horse Book
By Troy Nesbit
Publisher: Whitman, 1954, ISBN: none given
Sand Dune Pony is the story of a boy named Pete and a wild mustang pony set in what is now Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. At the center of the story is a sinister individual who is seemingly dedicated to causing random harm. Pete and an old cowboy by the name of Hatsy get to the bottom of the mystery as they come across the remains of long-dead humans and the bodies of slain animals. The recurrent themes of the books in the Wilderness Mystery Series are natural phenomena: caves, canyons, mountains, sand dunes, and forests, and a sense of the past as seen through archaeology. In many of the narratives, events of long ago are seen to have left traces of their passing. Notwithstanding the fact that the books were written in the 1950s, the progressive Franklin Folsom (alias Troy Nesbit) had refreshing views of women, Native Americans, and the environment, and he was prescient in having his characters often oppose corporate and government efforts to develop wilderness areas. Color printed hard cover book, no writing, minor wear to cover, pages yellowed.

Seabiscuit An America Legend Thoroughbred Racing TB Race Horse Book
By Laura Hillenbrand
Publisher: Random House, 2001, July 2003 edition, ISBN: 0-345-46508-3
Seabiscuit was a rough-hewn, undersized horse with a sad little tail and knees that wouldn't straighten all the way. For two years, he fought his trainers and floundered at the lowest level of racing, misunderstood and mishandled, before his dormant talent was discovered by three men. One was Red Pollard, a failed prizefighter and failing jockey. Another was Tom Smith, The Lone Plainsman, an enigmatic mustang breaker who had come from the vanishing frontier, bearing generations of lost wisdom about the secrets of horses. The third was a cavalry veteran named Charles Howard, a former bicycle repairman who had made a fortune by introducing the automobile to the American West. In the summer of 1936, Howard bought Seabiscuit for a bargain basement price and entrusted him to Smith and Pollard. Using frontier training methods that raised eyebrow on the backstretch, they discovered that beneath the hostility and fear was a gentlemanly horse with keen intelligence, awe inspiring speed, and a ferocious competitive will. Competing in the cruelest years of the Depression, the rags-to-riches horse emerged as an American cultural icon, drawing an immense and fanatical following, inspiring an avalanche of merchandising, and establishing himself as the single biggest news maker of 1938 receiving more coverage than FDR or Hitler. Laura Hillenbrand beautifully renders this breathtaking saga of one horse's journey from also-ran to national luminary. Seabiscuit: An American Legend is an inspiring tale of unlikely heroes, a classic story of three embattled individuals overcoming the odds in the Great Depression. Very minor wear to cover corners from shop handling.

Samantha An American Girl Holiday Full Length Movie DVD
Warner Bros. Video, 2004
See one of the most beloved American Girls come to life in this full-length, live-action, made-for-TV movie available on DVD! Samantha Parkington’s turn-of-the-century life starts changing the day she meets Nellie O’Malley. Though they come from different worlds, the two soon become the best of friends. Through happiness and sorrow, adventure and danger, they grow close enough to be sisters. But nothing could prepare them for the life-altering surprises and lessons that await them this special holiday season. Young Samantha Parkington lives with her grandmother, "Grandmary" Edwards, in a world of wealth and privilege in fictional Mount Bedford on the Hudson River in New York State in 1904. Nellie, a servant girl about Samantha's age, moves into the house next-door with her father and two younger sisters. Samantha is an unspoiled young girl without class biases or prejudices and takes an instant liking to Nellie, teaching her to read and sharing Nellie's household tasks such as carpet beating, darning, and other small jobs. Samantha and Nellie become fast friends. The girls turn to each other in happiness and sorrow, adventure and danger, and grow as close as sisters. After Nellie's father dies, she and her little sisters are sent to a dismal orphanage run by a thieving matron. Samantha rescues the girls and hides them at home. Nellie secretly takes a job in a factory to support her little sisters. Samantha tracks her down and brings her home, then bravely speaks out against the cruelty of child labor at her school. Eventually, Samantha's Uncle Gard and his new wife Cornelia adopt the three little orphans. The film ends with the girls happily enjoying a Christmas sleigh ride through cotton candy-like drifts of snow. A sub-plot involves Samantha "letting-go" of her beloved bachelor Uncle Gard when he brings home his future bride. Comes in plastic snap case with full color insert. Previously viewed. Believe this is no longer available. 86 minutes.
