Horse Country
This stunning book brings together two subjects that millions keep close to their hearts: country music and horses. With heartwarming stories set in a beautiful four-color design, Horse Country visits the biggest stars from the country music, inviting readers into the private world they share with their beloved horses.
Horses have always been the symbol of the cowboy, and many of the stars featured here-both legends and today's hottest stars-grew up dreaming of being cowboys (or cowgirls). Today, horses are their escape from the chaos of the world. Based on exclusive interviews, each story-funny, touching, and uplifting-is accompanied by personal photos, including some of each artist with his or her horse.
The list of artists featured in the book includes: Eddie Montgomery (Montgomery Gentry), Toby Keith, Tanya Tucker, Brad Paisley, Willie Nelson, Mark Miller, Fred Gill (Two Foot Fred), Clay Walker, Too Slim (Riders In The Sky), Heidi Newfield, Chris LeDoux, Trent Willmon, Joni Harms, Charlie Daniels, Janis Oliver (Sweethearts of the Rodeo), Hal Ketchum, Roy Clark, Tracy Byrd, Lacy J. Dalton, Jason Meadows, Ira Dean (Trick Pony), Lynn Anderson, Chris Cagle, Melanie Torres, Kix Brooks, Todd Fritsch, and George Jones.
Plus, there is an informative history of the parallels between horses and country music, along with a glossary of horse terms at the end of the book.
Lisa Wysocky, a speaker, equine clinician, riding instructor, and former publicist in the country music industry, is proud to share these stories with both fans of country music and lovers of horses. Many of the artists say horses help them relieve the stress involved in traveling and maintaining a high-profile career. Like the rest of us, their horses are their best friends. This is a side of our favorite country music celebrities that is seldom seen. Horse Country is a beautiful must-have collector's item for any fan of country music or horses.
