GIVE ME MOUNTAINS FOR MY HORSES

By Tom Reed

Tom Reed has a real affinity for horses and wilderness, and it shows on every page in his true tales about trail riding, horse packing, and great mountain horses. Even if you have never saddled up, you will be drawn into these heart-tugging stories of special horses, their remarkable abilities, and the inescapable bonds that develop between horses and humans.
“You’ll reach the end of the book wishing there were a few more chapters, a few more recollections, a few more horses. If you’ve ever had the slightest desire to have a horse of your own, this book is a must-read. It evokes feelings all horse lovers have felt, whether they could put words to those emotions or not.”
-Ty Stockton, Wyoming Wildlife
“Every once in a while I come across a book that swallows me whole. Each time as I reluctantly put it down, dragging my eyes from the pages leaves me disoriented as my mind is full of the images that I’ve just read about. Tom Reed’s latest book is one of those rare books that takes readers on a journey with each chapter.” -Cara Eastwood, Wyoming News
