UPDATET $1,895 to Horses in the Hood in Cactuskate's Name

[Weatherford]

Sold the first few boxes of books today before the sale officially opens - and got a check for $1,000 made out directly to the Horses in the Hood.

Second day update - another $285 in checks, and almost enough cash to cover my TENT COSTS!!!

PS to second day update - one of my friends (who drove up from NC with her husband to help - AND she doesn’t really ride, although she hunts with beagles & bassetts and her Aunt is an MB & huntsman for both foot hounds and foxhounds) - just added another $150 check to the stack - making today’s total $1,435 for the 2 days so far.

Today for the sale $1895. Have one person who is coming back and I haven’t priced two books…

Found the view, just a-lookin’ fer some $$$$ …

ETBTW - you need to buy a copy of the horse story bibliography by Terri Wear. It isn’t complete, but pretty good (well, she missed ALICE O’CONNELL - mostly because she neglected to check with us book dealers before publication!) However, it is still good.

Send me a check to Horses in the Hood for $40 includes shipping), and I will make sure you get a copy. THEN you can look it UP!! LOL

(email me for particulars.!)

$1,435 and counting!!

Ooooo, I forgot about The Pony Book. If you have two copies of that one, I get the second one!

Oh also:
de Nemethy’s book
Steinkraus’ newer one (or newer edition)
Prairie Lady (YA)
Kickapoo (YA - barrel racing)

There was a steamy teen romance novel I read in the 80s that I remember being moderately realistic on the horse end. I think it was called “The Thoroughbred.”

That is just EXCELLENT!!!
I am so sorry I can’t be there , but life as a vet and a holiday weekend to boot I just couldnt get the coverage. I was so hoping to be ble to get there and do some “damage” for the caue ( and of course get some Christmas shopping done at the same time.
Maybe if there is anything left,I can get a sniff some time of the remaining godies.
Glad it has cooled off for you !!

You must forgive me, as I haven’t been paying much attention to the boards as of late (husband just diagnosed with acute case of Lyme). And I am seeing here mentions of books on horses.
Can somebody let me know what is going on? Horse books for sale?? I can’t miss out, “pant pant”. I am a horse book floozy!
It sounds like the proceeds are being donated in cactuskates name??
I have my checkbook ready-tell me what to do before I cry!!

Ooh ooh! I want to get on the request list.

I want the Fly By Night book and its sequel. They have these at my library back home but I have never found them anyplace else. (Of course, I don’t know who they’re BY, just where they are in the library. )

Also Dark Horse (I think?) by Jean Slaughter Doty.

“Because she’s got a tattoo, Hank. I think she could use a home-cooked meal.”

[Weatherford]

No Doty, I don’t think.

Will look for the others - I know I had Working Trot at one time, but who knows now.

Will give the list to my assistant (AND THE ONLY BB’er TO SHOW UP!!! ) JEANNETTE (formerly ponygrl) (Who is a great person!!!)

I am there in spirit
If you were a six hour drive, and not a six hour plane flight, the Bumpkinette and I would have come and helped you out

[Merry]

Wow! You’re a gem. Think of all the great things that $ will do to link up a kid with a horse.

[LaurieB]

Great job, Weatherford!

I am so sorry that I’m too far away to come and relieve you of some stock. By the way, Fly By Night is by British author, K.M. Peyton.

[AAJumper]

Wow, that is great!!!

The book with a girl whose uncle dies and leaves her the rougue, Bluebird, and wonderful mare, Gazelle in his will.

There is a terrible barn fire and Gazelle is killed. She goes on to compete successfully with Bluebird, who “Loffs” her, and is reformed.

Or another, Dorothy Lyons Copper Khan.

Another - vaguely remembered from reading years ago. Something involving a horse crazy girl (surprise?) new to the neighborhood and an almost hermit like woman neighbor who has a crazy horse that killed/injured her daughter/relative (she has a round pen or indoor round ring in her barn). I seem to recall a beach…
