Memories, advice, and insight from a highly respected and well-known figure in the horse world.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From his early years at his family's Burbank, California, riding stable-teaching movie stars how to ride-through his tenure as an advisor to many major equestrian organizations, Don Burt has acquired a panoramic perspective of the world of horses that others can only dream about.
Horses and Other Heroes is a treasure trove of his memories, advice, and insight. In "Training, Judging, and Competition," he describes what makes a blue-ribbon winner. In "Real Hollywood Tales," he looks back at times spent with screen stars such as Robert Taylor and Ben Johnson, and famed stuntman Yakima Canutt. "Horses and Horsemen" provides portraits of legends like Ebony Night, the son of a Kentucky Derby winner who went on to become a champion Western stock horse, and of expert horsemen Jimmy Williams and M. R. Valdez.
DON BURT is currently the vice-president for western disciplines for the United States Equestrian Team. He writes for Quarter Horse Journal, and his articles appear in many equine periodicals. He is the author of Winning with the American Quarter Horse and other books. He lives in Portuguese Bend, California.
