Acknowledgments

I owe sincere thanks to those who dug deep for answers to my many questions. The devil is always in the details, and without the help of these supportive folks, this story would never have been told.

Thank you: Candy M. Ford at the Guthrie Public Library, Logan County Commissioner Mark Sharpton, the Guthrie Fire Department, and the Guthrie Chamber of Commerce for helping me fine-tune the regional details. Georgia veterinarian Dr. Kenneth Marcella “vetted” the equine health sections, Mary Ann Kean at Markel Insurance advised me on equine liability policies, and Kirsten Johnson of KESMARC in Lexington, Kentucky provided fascinating in-depth information about equine hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Manager Marsha Glass gave us a deluxe tour of the facility.

More thanks go to author Judie Aitken for insight into “horse sticks,” Pat Elder for guidance on Quarter Horses, and advance readers Art & Holly, author Carolyn Banks, and “the horse book lady,” Robbee Huseth, for catching all the glitches.

Last, but not least, thank you, Bob, for humoring me as I investigated every alley and historic building in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
