I was born the color of schoolroom chalk. My father was a beautiful Arabian stallion and I look a little like him because I have a long neck and back and sloping shoulders and lots of personality, but my legs and neck are a little shorter. He has passed away and now and I live with my mother, Brownie. So now we live on the Smith farm. But I was impatient to grow up and become responsible and admired like my dad had been. Playing all the time did not seem to be getting me ready to become a grown-up pony. So come now and listen to my story on how my many adventures and experiences led me to be the pony I am today.

Throughout recorded history, the horse has played many roles in human life. He has been man's partner in war, his servant in work, his teammate in sports, his inspiration in art.

It includes stories and articles by Pulitzer Prize-winners Red Smith, Maxine Kumin, and Jane Smiley, and tales by jockey-turned-mystery novelist Dick Francis and veterinarian-turned-writer James Herriot. Here also are reflections on fox hunting by Steven Budiansky and Anthony Trollope; a profile of Buck Brannaman, the inspiration for The Horse Whisperer; an inspirational piece from Ellie Phayer; and a story about the Spanish Riding School's dancing white horses by Felix Salten (author of Bambi), as well as writing from Tom McGuane, Bill Barich, humorist Cooky McClung, and classic western authors Will James and Zane Grey.Heartwarming, adventurous, profound, and funny, this anthology is a treasure trove that includes favorite writers and little-known or long-forgotten gems, illuminating our fascination-and captivation-with horses.
