Highlights

The wild horse book came about I am sure, by way of the publisher seeing our work on wild horses in other areas, specifically other books. We were surprised to get the call to do it but since we have been covering horses for donkey's years for our calendar, our files were full of wild horses.

Apparently an author was selected the same way and it turned out to be none other than Dayton Hyde, the owner of the wild horse sanctuary in South Dakota, a recognized writer of excellent standing and one that has been nominated for a Pulitzer prize this year (THE PASTURES OF BEYOND). Dayton is one of the original rodeo cowboys who was friends with Slim Pickens, Monte Montana and other old rodeo cowboys whose names those of us not familiar with rodeoing probably don't recognize.
