by GaWaNi Pony Boy
Photographs by Gabrielle Boiselle
Bowtie Press (c/o Fancy Publications,
3 Burroughs, Irvine, CA 92618),
1999. 96 pages, paperback. $17.95.

GaWaNi Pony Boy, whose Horse
Follow Closely became a best-seller despite
barely passing as a primer on horse training,
has issued a sequel, Out of the Saddle, best

children––as Horse Follow Closely should
have been.

Horse Whisperer
by Nicci Mackay
Fireside Books (c/o Simon & Schuster,
1230 Avenue of the Americas, New
York, NY 10020), 1998.

The Man Who Listens to Horses, proclaiming
himself “A Real Horse Whisperer.”
