Horse Tales: True Stories from an Idaho Ranch

The Frontier Project Inc.

The third in a series of books (including the wildly successful Horse Tales and Cow Tales) about ranch and family life in Idaho, Heather Smith Thomas's Ranch Tales offers a collection of humorous, heartwarming and insightful true stories, each centered on the unique bonds that form between people and the animals - livestock, pets and wildlife - that populate a working ranch. "Ranch life is unique and colorful," Thomas writes. "The jobs we do - raising cattle, working with animals, tending to their needs - are never boring. The animals themselves, and the adventures and circumstances involved with their care, always keep life interesting and fun, as well as challenging. These stories include a bit of humor, and a broad mix of experiences that illustrate how closely entwined our lives are with those of the animals within our care."
