This is a funny and intelligently written memoir of a Vietnam veteran's search for self. It is an account of Vietanm veteran Richard Chamberlin's meandering journey to fulfillment during the 60's and 70's based on an actual cross-country hitchhiking trip the author took when he was 30 years old. The story starts in 1975 in the liberal enclave of Madison, Wisconsin. While the war in Vietnam has just ended and Chamberlin has been out of the service for five years, he is still trying to put his life back together. The first chapter begins in a run-down Madison laundromat where the author meets a mysterious character named Ken-Adi whom he hopes might be his guru. The two of them decide to take off on an adventure together and hitchhike to San Francisco. The trip becomes a spiritual quest and a window into the past. The central part of the book is a series of flashbacks of Chamberlin's experiences with the Navy's Seabees in Vietnam. While there he wrestles with the absurdities and paradoxes of that war just as today's veterans will have to deal with the contradictions inherent in the current war in Iraq. At the end of the book the author has a conversation with an old friend who inadvertantly helps him put the pieces of his life back together as they watch horses cavort in a corral at sunset on the outskirts of Ft. Collins, Colorado.

My aim with this book was twofold. I wanted a book that could be kept with your tack as a handy reference and to give easy, understandable information that all can make good use of. This book is about having the chance to try a better way to understand riding and training. It covers most things people need to train themselves and their horses. It goes through some simple to understand ideas so everyone can try. More advanced understanding can come through my other books or your own studies.I consider horses are the same, when born, everywhere in the world. If a horse has a problem, man put it there, therefore studying how past masters evolved horsemanship is important. They have tried it all before and then handed their understanding to us. There seems to be a lot of new techniques and ways to train horses like “Horse Whispering”, “Equine body language”, “Parelli” and others. All this work has been carried out before, and if people thought about it, most of it people already do. It is good to understand all aspects of horsemanship, from equestrian science to Classical Dressage, but it is important to not lose sight of the art and passion for training horses. I consider horse owners to be intelligent people who know when something is right, but due to the confusion of so many methods sometimes lose sight of where they’re going.This book gives all the tools needed to produce a horse that is enjoyable to ride, whether your chosen discipline is dressage, show jumping, eventing or just hacking. You don’t need gadgets, just thought and common sense. People who don’t ride will find this interesting and informative, helping them to understand those who do. Good riding is not something that can only be carried by a few, but can be achieved by all. This book is a needed guide to help people start to understand and remind those that do about the true art of riding and training.
