Walter Spills The Oats is a collection of many of Walter's (a horse, of course) thoughts and desires and it combines a little horse history with a little practical experience with a few dreams and some insights about what is or is not going on these days in the horse world.

First you'll meet Walter and find out why he is a brave, little, pony. (He once was a pony pony, but he grew up and now he is just a pony, at times. It will all be explained by the end of the first chapter. Of course, you want to know how Walter got his name. While he is good a telling tales and interviewing celebrities and top trainers, he wasn't named for Walter Cronkite or Walter Winchell. But he was named for a famous Walter; learn who.

Don't know much about history? Well, Walter sometimes gets his dates mixed up too, but you can count on him to reveal who was the first cowboy, and relate the greatest Pony Express ride made by Pony Bob. He'll tell you how polo came about and how to make a munchy crunchy Christmas cake.

The book is filled with facts--or at least the facts as Walter knows them. The book is filled with laughs--some with Walter and some at Walter. The book is filled with good advice--something Walter seldom wants to hear. And the book is filled with photos--of Walter, of course.
