Horse Sayings: Wit & Wisdom Straight from the Horse’s Mouth is a book to be treasured by horse lovers (as well as those addicted to quotations). It includes one of my very favorite quotations from one of my very favorite people: “I’d horsewhip you if I had a horse” (Groucho Marx), along with quotes from other famous people, art and photographs featuring horses, and horse cartoons.Horse Sayings is a fitting gift to give a horse-lover or the horse-lover in you (I’m very much in favor of giving myself a gift now and then).

Pages of Gold, a website featuring “Book Reviews for those who truly treasure books” recently posted this review of HORSE SAYINGS:
Horse lovers have a reason to celebrate! Bradford Wheler has joined together beautiful works of art and quotations about horses in a book that every horse lover will want to own. Over 60 professional and nonprofessional artists from 11 countries express their appreciation of horses through art forms such as painting, drawing, photography and sculpture throughout the book. The quotations are paired with this artwork through 8 chapters of the book. The chapters include: The Bond, Humor, The Starting Gate, Horse Sense, Cholla (dedicated to Cholla Chambers, an actual horse artist whose artwork is featured in the book), Competing, Ancient Wisdom, and Training & Handling. This book would make a fabulous gift for the horse fanatic in your life, but you certainly don’t need to be a horse fanatic to appreciate this lovely book.

The simple mutts can be far wiser than they let on. “Dog Sayings: Wit & Wisdom from Man’s Best Friend” looks at a collection of humor and knowledge as well as plenty of art focusing on man’s constant canine companion. For centuries, there has been much said about the relationship of man and dog, and much inspiration has been drawn fine them. Presented in full color throughout, “Dog Sayings” is a choice read, solidly recommended.
