Soul Deep in Horses: "A Thrilling Book"

Monday June 16 2014

I was thrilled and surprised to see my memoir, Soul Deep in Horses, reviewed in the Sunday Idaho Stateman!

Pam Brewer, one of the Idaho Statesman's Book Addicts writes:

"This is a beautifully written, emotionally charged book that takes you to exotic places and lets you meet some amazing animals."

The full review is here.

On her blog Discovering Ranch Life - Photography, international equine photographer, Maria Northcutt writes:
"It’s a thrilling book, about one crazy girl’s horse adventure around the globe. If you love horses, it’s a book that makes you cry and laugh out loud, over and over again. She takes the reader to thrilling heights, and dangerously high speeds."

On a Soul Deep in Horses relevant tangent, I'm having a book signing at Naomi Preston's Wild West Bakery and Espresso in Eagle, Idaho on Saturday June 21 from 11 AM to 1 PM. If you're in the area, come on by, and have some fabulous Wild West lunch while telling us your funnest and wildest horse stories!

Soul Deep in Horses is available as soft cover or e-book on Amazon, or autographed copies are available on my website, www.TheEquestrianVagabond.com.

**(From these two reviews and the audience responses they generated, the e-book shot up to #4 in its category on Amazon on Sunday. Though I don't watch the stats, I really don't!)

It's a Hit

Saturday February 6 2010

The party/First Friday Eagle Art Walk/The Equestrian Vagabond Photo Show at the Wild West Bakery and Espresso was a hit last night.

Not only was the Woodriver Cellars wine tasty, but Chef KC's hors d'ouevres were delicious. They kept disappearing and he kept bringing out new trays of food.

Most delightful (and astonishing) were the kids from the ArtsWest Performing Arts school (grades 6-12) who came and took turns playing the piano, guitar, stand up bass, flute, clarinet. They were terrific and packed the crowd in.

And they are coming back on Friday the 12th! As is Woodriver Cellars and Chef KC, for the Horsemen and Women's Open house, from 6-9 PM.

Of my photos, this was the favorite. Starring who else but my horse Stormy. I didn't tell him though, didn't want him getting any grand ideas.

Stop by next Friday if you're in the area!

The Wild West

Friday January 29 2010

We'll look at more original Owyhee Wild West trails and stories, but this time, think the Wild West Bakery and Espresso in downtown Eagle.

Endurance rider Naomi Preston has reopened Eagle's first espresso cafe that she started in 1994 and operated until 2006. She now owns it again, and kindly created a room for my The Equestrian Vagabond photography! She refers to it as the EMMMA - the 'Eagle Metropolitan Museum of Merri's Art.'

We are happy to be participating in the First Friday Art in Eagle - a gallery walk in downtown Eagle on Friday February 5 from 4:30 - 8:30 PM, featuring my photography and barbed wire art (original rascally Owyhee barbed wire!), Naomi and Michelle (her manager)'s home baked goods and espresso, and wine tasting by local Woodriver Cellars.

The party doesn't end there: the next Friday, February 12, we're having a Horsemen and Women's Open House, from 6-9 PM. Wine tasting again by Woodriver Cellars, featuring "Gold Buckle Champion" ICHA wines.

If you have horses, ride horses, love horses, or want horses, stop by to see us and tell us a tall horse tale of your own, if you can get Naomi and me to shut up. If you don't love horses, stop by anyway, and we will try to persuade you that you should.

The address is:
83 East State Street
Eagle, Idaho
208.939.5677

We hope to see you there!

Note: The Raven will be present at both special openings - I don't think he's signing autographs, but he will be available for photos!
