American Running Horse Second Addition
- a forgotten breed-
My 2023 American Running Horse has been upgraded. The original American Running Horse- a forgotten breed (1st edition) is now out of print, and when its for sale it is for much more money. I just saw one on Amazon for $114!
For the second edition much new information has been added and a complete copy-edit was done by Gary O'Dell. Gary, a history professor, noted the historical merit in the research and graciously offered to edit the text to a more consistent form in the citations and bibliography and perform a regular copy-edit to help its readability. I also discovered more information on the origins of this breed, and that and other details have been included.
If you have attempted to find this second edition on Amazon you probably were frustrated. Amazon through their algorithms shadow banned it from January to now (May). I had to confront them with this and I believe now they have fixed the problem.
Below is the link to purchase the book at a 20% discount- it will save you about $10.
Review:
My first review is from thoroughbred bloodline expert, Jane Bielski, owner and editor of the website The Thoroughbred Link.
"So many finer important details have come into clear focus to placing or 'filling' alongside the depth & 'landscape' of thoroughbred breeding to its true Celtic-Scythian origins. Amazing.
Having been going around in confusing circles over the years, the book succeeds to the finer analytical - demonstrating an ultimate breeding appraisal one must encompass. "
You have not only provided a robust sound framework but also furthers, enables to inspect unexamined bloodlines."
