The Gryphon Press Announces that Juanita Havill, Award-Winning Author of Call the Horse Lucky, Will Read at The Red Balloon Bookshop in St.Paul, MN, September 11, at 3 pm

Minneapols, MN (PRWEB) September 05, 2011

On Sunday afternoon, September 11, author Juanita Havill will read from and sign her nationally reviewed children’s picture book, CALL THE HORSE LUCKY, published by The Gryphon Press.

This new childrens picture book tells the story of how a young girl rescues an abandoned horse. Along the way, she learns what it takes to successfully care for the horse and provide for its future, actions that require the intervention of a variety of rescuers. Call the Horse Lucky, by author Juanita Havill, is beautifully told and illustrated BY and goes to the heart of horse lovers and will satisfy experts in the field of horse rescue.

Pat Frederick, DVM, writes, Call the Horse Lucky is a gift to all readers. As an equine veterinarian for many years and dedicated to teaching correct animal husbandry I applaud this book. The story, the husbandry discussed, the solutions to a problem, the economic values and the information in the epilogue are all really correct and to the point in my opinion. The illustrations/paintings are an additional gift and I felt as if the people were all someone I had met in my practice. Well done all of you.

The Gryphon Press publishes children’s picture books about animal issues in beautiful books that bring animal well-being to the forefront.

arabian horses?

iv posted a question recently about just starting work on a stud with arabs. i want some info on arabs.iv been online to try and find some info about arabian horses and how to handle them and their temperament and i can find anything i really want to have the best advantage at working with these horses, PLEASE HELP can anyone give me any advise on arabs or point me to a good site on handling and temperament etc.I have learned, that you have to be firm when you say please to an Arabian. ( That's sort of a joke, sorta not) You have to use patience so that you know for sure that they understand what you are asking them to do, then once you know that they have it, give them credit for having the heart not to quit until they get the task finished. You can lead them a long way, but you can't push them an inch, if you know what I mean. I'll swear, there is no quit in them, get them to trust you and they will go to the mat with you, try to bully them and they would rather throw a fit and get themselves into a pickle that could cost them their lives. They are quite elegant and have the stamina to keep up with their spirit. I think that the breed is somewhat misunderstood by some people or maybe some people just aren't suited for them.
