For the Love of a Horse

<p>In his eighty-plus years Max Evans has known owned ridden and been thrown by quite a number of horses. In <em>For the Love of a Horse </em> Evans shares his favorite horse stories for all to enjoy. As Max explains "I wanted a wide range of adventures from another time with different horses of different breeds and a sense of history of those special days."<br /><br />Max begins with his first horse Cricket which he received when he was four years old. At the age of ten he helped with a horse-drive from far southeast New Mexico through west Texas and on to the final destination in Guymon Oklahoma. Later PDQ was a horse that seemed very gentle and laid-back until someone rode him. And then there was Molly who liked to fly through and around obstacles on coyote hunts.<br /><br />This book is for all those who enjoy reading horse stories as much as Max loves telling them. Saddle up!<br /><br />"The recognition is long overdue. (Max Evans is) <em>sui generis.</em> He understands the present West better than anyone else what it's like to be there now living in two worlds of the pickup truck and the bronco."--Charles Champlin former Denver bureau chief of <em>Time</em> and retired arts editor of <em>The Los Angeles Times </em> quoted in <em>The New York Times</em></p>
