Smashwords book reviews by Jane Oldaker

  • The Chronicle Years on March 02, 2014

    I enjoyed this little anthology. It's a very personal expression of affection for horses along with a detailed and technical explanation of engagement as well as an essay on the importance of warming up a horse before work and cooling it out again after. I particularly liked the poems because of their humour and overall sentiment toward horses.
