Ten Feet Tall, Still:  A wonderful and true story for all persons regardless of age.  This book chronicles the life of Julie Suhr.  Beginning with her childhood dream, Julie shares 70 years of her life, bringing the joy and passion of the horse to all.  When reading her book, I was already in tears by the acknowledgement. We, my husband, daughter, and I, were honored to have had the opportunity to ride with Julie and her husband Bob in Peru in January 2005. At age 81 Julie can still ride like the wind, what a role model she is for all of us and "I want to be her when I grow up," even it I don’t have 22 Tevis Cups under my belt!  As Julie’s gift to us all, she is donating her book profits to the American Endurance Ride Conference Trail Committee and The Western States Trails Foundation Trails Committee, for trail development. "A woman with a relentlessly sunny disposition and a will of steel," Sports Illustrated 1987; "Suhr has received a good share of admiration…," New Your Times, 1990; "At age 63, she is one of the world’s best long-distance horseback riders…," KPIX TV, San Francisco, 1987.   All books are personally autographed by the author .   A must buy book ! ~ Cathy   Item # BK-JS –Price $24.95

A BIT OF MAGIC - A book that I personally found to be the most down to earth and comprehensive book on bitting ~ Cathy-Hill View Farms. The book, "A Bit of Magic" approaches the subject of bitting from a new standpoint. This book has not only been highly praised by the general riding public, but also top level riders and other equestrian authors. The author Alixe Etherington, has a clear, yet amusing and light-hearted style, which works through a series of the most popular bits, explaining their individual uses, in order to concisely cover the principles of this technical subject from a riders point of view. "Whilst it can be suggested that the English concepts of bitting and those used in the Western disciplines are different, the reality is the principles of bitting apply to all riding styles. A Bit of Magic is aimed at all riders world-wide and attempts to explain the concepts of many bits found in tack stores." - Alixe Etherington (Author). "This is the first book on bitting that I have ever understood. It is not only an enjoyable read, but informative as well, and I think essential for all riders." - Rachael Bayliss (3 day event European Gold Medallist). "It is a welcome change to read a book written by a person who has had the opportunity to view the subject from the position of both bit manufacturer and rider, resulting in a fresh approach to bitting." - Robert Dover (US Olympian)."For anybody who is interested in, or confused by, the great variety of bits that are now on sale throughout the country, the contents of this book will go a long way to clarify the situation. ... I recommend this book to all those wishing to increase their knowledge of bitting - Tricia Gardiner FBHS (UK International Dressage Rider).Item #BK-BB– price $19.95
