Legends, Volume 4 carries on the tradition of its predecessors, profiling great horses who have significantly influenced the Quarter Horse breed. Four mares and 13 stallions comprise this volume, which includes both tales that predate the 1940 formation of the American Quarter Horse Association, and contemporary stories whose ultimate conclusions may not be known for years to come. Each chapter is devoted to a specific stallion or mare, and includes a four-generation pedigree, a summary of the horse's performance accomplishments, a sire or production record, and several photographs. Yet what sets the Legends books apart from pure pedigree research is the personal information and commentary from the people involved with each horse--the people stories behind the horse tales.

Saddles & Silver

Saddles & Silver Collaboration in the Traditional Cowboy Arts "A collaborative partnership cannot take root unless its participants are open to the idea of a shared creative experience. A would-be collaborator must possess a genuine willingness to share ideas and energy; invite the ideas and opinions of a partner, offering both respect and enthusiasm in return; and adapt his working style to accommodate that of his partner, all in the belief that a collaborative experience can offer an unmatched opportunity to grow and improve." It was with the above mindset that saddlemaker Cary Schwarz and silversmith Scott Hardy began an unmatched creative journey that's resulted in some of the finest western saddles ever made. Saddles & Silver reveals the story behind each of the pair's collaborative efforts, and offers a rare glimpse inside the creative processes of two of the world's most gifted craftsmen.

A.J. Mangum has written about the contemporary North American West for more than 20 years. His work has documented the working lives of the horsemen, artists and craftsmen who define the modern cowboy culture. Written over a four-year period (2010 through 2013), the essays and written portraits comprising Undiscovered Country offer an authentic, unromanticized look inside a way of life much of the world assumes disappeared generations ago. "The West has always been a destination for individualists chasing big ambitions on their own terms," Mangum says. "That hasn't changed. The modern West is still populated with independent spirits seeking one brand or another of freedom, be it creative freedom or the chance to live and work as they please. The real-life drama of the West, first scripted long ago, still plays out against the backdrop of the 21st century."

Undiscovered Country

Ranch roping is at the heart of all ranch work, and unlike the rodeo variation of calf roping, the “vacquero” tradition calls for techniques that result in a skillful and graceful throw and catch. Buck Brannaman, a world-renowned master of the art, describes the essential tools, the partnership between horse and rider (incorporating the Natural Horsemanship approach for which the author is famous), and the mechanics needed to become a successful ranch roper, whether in competition or in actual cattle work.
One-hundred full-color photographs of Buck in action enhance the step-by-step methodology that leads to mastering this essential Western skill. Whether you ride or rope or just wish you could, here's a book for everyone who is captivated by Western traditions and contemporary life.
