Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In Some Horses, Tom McGuane animates the wide prairie, the ranches where cattle roam and cutting horses are trained, and the packed coliseums in which these horses compete for prestige and prize money. Best of all, McGuane brings to life the horses he has known, celebrating the unique glories that make each of them memorable. <BR>McGuane's writing is infused with a love of the cowboy life and the animals and people who inhabit that world where the intimate dance between horse and rider is as magical as flight--well beyond what the human body could ever discover on its own.

Review:

"A lovely, thoughtful book, gentle in its humor and original in its perceptions.
I found it a delight."
-Larry McMurtry

Review:

"McGuane characterizes the alliance between humans and horses as a 'burst of poetry.'. . . Tom illuminates that truth beautifully, giving us the gift of his own poetry in the process."
-Robert Redford

Review:

"Breathtaking. . . . McGuane display[s] his characteristically muscular prose and a wry sense of humor." --USA Today

Synopsis:

In "Some Horses", Tom McGuane explores the wide prairie, the ranches where cattle roam and cutting horses are trained, and the packed coliseums in which these horses compete for prestige and prize money. Illustrations.
