This book contains forty years of memories of a horse trainer. It is not a biography but rather snapshots of a life lived among horses and horsemen. It points out the peculiarities of many of these horsemen. Some good some bad, but all interesting. During those forty years I tried to dance every dance and sing every song. I look back on my life and consider it well lived. Every day was an adventure and most of the people I associated with were interesting if nothing else.
