To Tame A Wild Heart
Chancy Mallory is loyal to three things in her life: her horse Bowie, her parents and the Mallory Ranch.
Chancy is set on capturing a wild mustang colt to prove her worth to her father who believes the Mallory legacy died when he buried his three sons. When Nick Stone appears at the ranch, Chancy can’t fight the waves of change. She fears her father’s attentions are slipping out of her reach. And while before she thought only of horses and the ranch, her thoughts are now drifting to boys and kisses. Sweet kisses with Nick that is. Except he’s her rival, or is he?
Nick Stone wandered west to avoid the lackluster future his father devised for him inside a stuffy bank in Boston, not to fall in love. He craves the wide open spaces Oregon has to offer. He?s learned in his travels that he has a special gift with horses. Especially those that have been tossed aside by others: the rogues, and the unwanted. With this gift, he makes a name for himself at the Mallory Ranch and causes friction with the ranch owner’s daughter. Can he prove to Chancy he is a friend and not a foe? Can his gentle ways tame the ranch owner’s daughter’s wild heart?

In no time at all, he has developed a series of strategies which both outfox and amuse his owners, who are often left wondering how best to deal with his exploits. With some help from his editor, Jane Smith, he has collated his experiences in this handy tome in the hope that they will be of interest to other like minded ponies.

Pat9,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this recommendation -
To Carry the Horn - A Virginian in Elfland
Volume 1 of The Hounds of Annwn.
I immediately went back out to Amazon and bought the second book of the series.
I have also really enjoyed the Bev Patterson books and the Steve Cline mysteries, and of course, Rita Mae Brown, but these books have excellent writing, horses, foxhunting and a touch of fantasy - hard to beat!
Now available for $1.99 - can’t beat that hardly, except for free.

Natalie Keller Reinert’s The Head And Not the Heart and Other People’s Horses really spoke to me.
The details of farm life and the backside of the track rang absolutely right, and the overall quality of the writing was terrific.
I wasn’t wild abut the Alexander character, but that is a small quibble.
Well worth the 2.99 each!

Currently free- no idea if it is any good- Tales from the Trail
Merriam-Webster.com defines a wrangler as: “a ranch hand who takes care of saddle horses”. In the tourist livery industry, not only does the wrangler take care of saddle horses, but he/she leads out trail rides, mostly working for the love of horses and tips. Whether they worked for a day, a season, or a decade, every wrangler has stories from their time spent on horseback, leading out trail rides. There’s nothing we like better than to sit around and swap ‘war stories’. This book is a collection of short stories from leading out rides in the Rocky Mountains.
“I told the guests I knew how much they appreciated the beauty surrounding them and I knew they and their horses were getting tired, but we really, really needed to step up the pace. By that time, the storm had broken over Long’s and had zeroed in on us; though the sun was still shining brightly, the horses caught their first whiff of the coming storm and sped up on their own. I desperately tried to keep an eye on both storms bearing down on us, and in short order, it was much easier to do. With a theatrical crash, the two storms collided.
Now the trick became keeping the horses from bolting. Eerily, the sun was still shining brightly, but the forest around us had gone dead silent. The birds and little critters had disappeared. We were in a controlled trot, pivoted backwards in our saddles, watching the two storms battle it out. Halfway to the trees, we began to see lightning arcing between the two storms and hear the rumbling thunder as one storm grumbled at the other.”

Me too! Not sure if I already mentioned them here. This is good intelligent writing about horses!
Don’t know if it’s any good, but the price (free) is.
