Book excerpt: In the world-famous travel book, "Tschiffely's Ride," the Swiss author recounted how he and his two Criollo horses, Mancha and Gato, set off from Argentina in 1924, bound for faraway Washington DC. Their legendary 10,000 mile ride took them through the mountains and jungles of South and Central America, where they encountered a host of adventures, including rope bridges, vampire bats, sand storms, treacherous mountains, quicksand and hostile natives! Now here is the same story but delivered with a new twist. For the first time in history, the story is narrated by the two equine heroes, Mancha and Gato. Their unique point of view is guaranteed to delight children and adults alike. With a preface by famed horseman R.B. Cunningham Graham, "The Tale of Two Horses" is amply illustrated with drawings by the author. No equestrian travel collection could be considered complete without this wonderful book!

In 1925 Aime Tschiffely set off to ride from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to New York City. The legendary 10,000 mile journey took him through mountains, jungles and swamps where he encountered rope bridges, vampire bats, sand storms, quicksand and hostile natives. After two harrowing years he was accorded a ticker-tape parade when he rode triumphantly through the streets of New York. This amazing story is narrated by the two equine heroes, Mancha and Gato, who accompanied the author. Though nearly a century has passed since the trio set off on their journey, their story has become a celebrated classic. Amply illustrated with drawings by the author, this is a book for all lovers of horses, for all lovers of travel and for all lovers of adventure."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE UNDISPUTED CLASSIC OF EQUINE ADVENTURE In the early 1920s, a peaceful Swiss schoolteacher accomplished one of the most extraordinary equestrian journeys in history: Aimé Tschiffely and his two trusty steeds, Mancha and Gato, traveled the incredible distance of ten thousand miles between Buenos Aires and New York. Tschiffely’s Ride recounts the dramatic story of that daring journey. Along the trackless Pampas of Argentina, over Peru’s towering Andes Mountains, through the malaria infested jungles of Central America, across the deserts of Mexico, and on to a rapturous welcome in faraway New York, Tschiffely carries the reader along on an unforgettable quest. Although many taunted him as a fool for daring to make a ride that had never been attempted, the author was greeted as a hero by the president of the United States and given a ticker tape parade by the mayor of New York City. Nearly a century later, the modest Tschiffely is revered as the most influential Long Rider in history. Tschiffely’s journey has inspired five generations to swing into the saddle and seek their own equestrian adventure; his beloved book remains the most famous and enduring equestrian travel tale ever written. “It is a fascinating personal narrative....Tschiffely has told a romantic and adventurous tale.”—Kirkus Reviews “A ride that beats all the great rides of fact and fiction clean out of the field.”—The Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quincy the Horse Books, for K-4, appeal to children who love animals in general and horses in particular. In the second book, Quincy Moves to the Desert, Quincy and his friend Beau leave the comforts of home and go on a big trip across the US in a huge horse van. Quincy has doubts about the trip at first, but Beau explains that they are going West where there are "Trails as far as a horse can see." Quincy is soon soaking up the sights and learns to his amazement, that "Horses are everywhere." On the trip, Quincy sees all the jobs horses can do and dreams about his own possibilities. The trip becomes a journey of self-discovery for Quincy who also learns something important about himself. Full of energy and imagination, the beautifully illustrated book includes a map of the US with nine highlighted states. Author Camille Matthews encourages young readers to explore, along with Quincy, the joy and excitement of learning new things. Michelle Black again provides striking illustrations. She successfully alternates soothing still life images, sensitive depictions of Quincy's emotions, and dramatic paintings of action. The Quincy the Horse Books are also an excellent choice for children who are bridging the gap between picture books and chapter books.
