Join me on a series of adventures to see the United States from a unique perspective- the back of a horse. My quest to ride a different horse in each state took more than ten years to complete. This book is not only for horse lovers but also for the explorer in each of us. The incredible beauty and variety of America comes to life in this book of discoveries on horseback. Journey along black sand beaches of Alaska, and breathtaking but dangerous Badlands of North Dakota. See the blaze of vivid reds and purples on the bizarre rock formations in Bryce Canyon, Utah. Hear the crashing ocean waves of untamed Oregon. These panoramic and spectacular images are caught on camera in each state. Explore historic Jeckell Island in Georgia, and journey the same trail General Custer took on his last battle. Ride along the 200-year old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in Maryland, and take a look into the legendary area where Rip Van Winkle slept in the Catskills. Ride on Mackinac Island, Michigan, where no motorized vehicles are allowed. Smell the salty ocean air of South Carolina, and the tobacco drying in a barn in New Jersey. Share the experience of running full speed up a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean, or riding leisurely through extraordinary flowers and fauna of Hawaii. For horse lovers, I rode Tennessee Walkers, Arabians, Missouri Fox Trotters, Quarter Horses, Palominos, Paints, and one coal black Mustang horses trained in the art of dressage and ones trained for one-hundred mile endurance races. My book offers a rainbow of experiences brought to life through lively text and stunning photographs.
