Description: Author: Don Burt Publisher: Globe-Pequot Press 2002 Hardcover, DJ Condition: New Copy - unmarked 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.
