Synopsis
When the author agreed to exercise a neighbor's horse, Rory, she had no way of knowing that she and her husband Charles would one day ride on roundup in western Canada. How this came about, via lessons at the local riding school, some extremely hair-raising excursions throughout the English countryside, and a visit to the Camargue to see the horses there, is the theme of Doreen Tovey's latest book.

From AudioFile
"Keep your hands down and sit down hard!" That's good advice for horse-loving audiophiles when it comes to this amusing memoir of the author's riding adventures in woodsy Somerset, deep in the heart of English horse country. Another bit of good advice, from the reviewer this time, is, "Turn up the treble; turn down the bass; volume at max, and don't let Dolby near it." The production itself comes through as a bit distant and muffled, but Annie Aldington reads very well. Her rendition of the Somerset country accent is really charming. Her enunciation is crisp, and her voice bright, which helps to compensate for shortcomings at the production level. It's worth the listening effort. MAKING THE HORSE LAUGH will also make the devoted listener laugh, and want to dust off that old riding habit. L.R.S. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
From Library Journal
Doreen and Charles Tovey had not ridden horses in quite some time when Doreen agreed to help her neighbor out by riding the neighbor's extra horse, Rory. Beginning with Rory and ending with Sheba, a Canadian cow horse, Doreen (Cats in the Belfry) tells many a delightful anecdote of life with horses, which takes place in her English village. She also relates her trip to the Carmague in France and of a cattle roundup in western Canada. Making the Horse Laugh is read in a lilting British accent by Annie Aldington. A treat for Anglophiles and animal lovers alike. Recommended for public libraries. Patsy E. Gray, Huntsville P.L., AL
