About this ebook

What People Are Saying About This Book

Before April 1, 2002 and the First Edition, these six comments had been made by people who had been reading bits, parts and the whole manuscript.

Excellent book. Maybe even a great one.
Mark Wright, Salesman

Couldnt put it down.Gary Hanus, Farmer

Excellent. Excellent.Less Harper, Farrier at Prairie Meadows

Excellent. Excellent book.Mrs. Dean Eslinger, Housewife

It is a good family story. It is easy to read and understand. It is a moral story of jealousy, care of animals, family love, Biblical reference once in a while. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to any one, young or old, and in between. I would like to see a movie of it.Marjorie Rouse, Retired Elementary School Teacher

Couldnt put it down.Linda Hanus, Housewife

This is about the fastest selling book in mid-Iowa. This includes an excellent report from a movie producer in Hollywood, plus a very high recommendation from a judging connoisseur of dairy cattle.

Homer Long

Homer Long is a mid-Iowa, Grundy County farmer who successfully raised and showed hogs, sheep and cattle. He was raised on fried potatoes, eggs and pork chops. Milling cows by hand, pulling weeds, wrestling hogs and bulls, plus riding Billy, a Shetland pony, and graduating Pet, a black saddle horse (all bareback), was part of his daily routine growing up. When he put Dr. Claire on the big black stallion, bareback, in the story, it wasn’t anything new to Long. The idea came quite naturally to him from experience. In 1995 he went to Prairie Meadows, the thoroughbred racetrack near Altoona, Iowa. He was looking for a job. He had never been on a racetrack in his life. The first trainer he met was Kelly Von Hemel. Long told him he wanted to learn about racehorses from the ground up. The trainer didn’t have a job for him so he looked elsewhere. The next trainer he met was Steve Simoff who gave him a job working as an ordinary groom. Simoff learned that Long was also a hay vendor and started to show him how to sell hay on the side. Six weeks after working as a groom and selling hay, he quit the groom job and devoted full time to vending hay. The very nature of his hay business, dealing with trainers, and studying racehorses in and out of the barns and on the training track, gave Long an excellent education. After some 50,000 bales of hay and six years of racetrack education experience he wrote this book.
