How far can a horse travel in a day? What does a horse eat? When is a brown horse really a sorrel (or a bay, or a dun)? What do 'tack' and 'withers' and 'canter' mean?

Author and horse breeder Judith Tarr answers these questions and many more in this long-awaited guide for writers, with insight into the world of the horse and the humans who both use and serve him.

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT miss this handy little booklet on All Things Horse. Judy has been writing articles on this topic over at Book View Cafe for months, and here you can get them all in one lovely package!

HIGHLY recommended. And you should visit her web site to see some of her herd -- the real McCoy, brilliant white horses -- the models for the Companions in Misty Lackey's books!

If you poke around her LJ, you will also find info on her writer mentoring program. And even better...she's taking commissions on short and even long works. You're buying the first serial rights, and will get an electronic copy of your purchase, plus a hard copy autographed, when said hard copy comes out.

Oooo...maybe something from an early favorite series....
