HAVE SADDLE, WILL TRAVEL

LOW-IMPACT TRAIL RIDING

AND HORSE CAMPING

Here's a book that's really fun to read! Don's collection of short stories describing his adventures on horseback in the backcountry are sure to please even the most casual horse enthusiast. Millions of horse owners enjoy trail riding and horse camping. Almost every state has an active trail-riding association. Today, there are more and more people wanting to use less and less land. Riders increasingly find themselves banned from the backcountry because of the environmental impact that some of them cause. Have Saddle, Will Travel offers an answer: Don West’s “Go Right, Go Light” low-impact strategies for environmentally friendly adventures on horseback. Don West, "America’s Favorite Pleasure-Trail Riding Clinician", shows you how to enjoy your adventures on horseback safely and responsibly. In his inimitable, humorous Western style, he shares his passion for adapting to the rhythms of nature, while having more fun with less fuss, and preserving our fragile backcountry wilderness

What readers are saying about Have Saddle, Will Travel:

"This book is a pleasure to read and provides some great, commonsense suggestions for anyone who spends time in the great outdoors with their horse. I wish I had this book 10 years ago." -- GaWaNi Pony Boy, horse behaviorist

"There are many Don Wests: Don the horseman, Don the teacher, Don the inventor, Don the poet. Maybe that kinda of man was common in the Renaissance, but it's awfully rare today. What Don offers is uniquely his, and those who reach out and take it are better for it." -- Rick Lamb, The Horse Show radio program

"If you like riding the trails and camping on horseback, Don is your answer." -- Chris Cox, professional horseman

“I read your book and enjoyed it very much. Your style of writing, sharing your good and bad adventures was very insightful and helpful. Thanks for sharing with us your expeditions so as we may learn from them. I am in the research and planning stage of a long trip of several months”. Garry Stauber

“I have been reading Don’s book and have enjoyed it very much. I have always tried to go light when camping. I think if a person needs a full kitchen and the kitchen sink on a horse camping trip, maybe they should stay at home with the kitchen. I love to go hunting in the Wilderness Areas in Colorado. Ray Lawler

“ I received your book for Christmas and I am enjoying it so much. Sandra Muha

“I loved the book, Low Impact Camping and I am interested in your products to use this summer.” Thanks Dona Harm

“I’m really enjoying “Horse Handling-Horse Sense” and I’m glad I read it first before I started using the Peruvian Bit. I never would have thought of starting with a bosal and four reins first. Your books are great and filled with so many goodies! I don’t just read them, I study them!” Carole Francis

“After reading more of Don’s book and Bosal Training. I was delighted to learn how to get my horse to start holding her head up more. I never wanted to pull or tug on her reins to keep her head up so I hadn’t been trying. Now that I started using his “take, tug, release” in rhythm with her footsteps, with a Don West Comfort-Able Bosal, I notice a big difference in just a few days!” Carole Francis

Lessons in Life, Love and Learning — Selected Poems by Don West

 

Cowboy poetry has become very popular in the past few years. Don West, an ex-cowboy, town marshal, and current horseman-clinician has taken this style of poetry to a new level of sensitivity. As the books title implies, Don shares his views on the process of living, loving and learning, often involving his horses in the mix. Don has read some of his poetry at clinics and horse fairs around the country, and has been applauded by enthusiastic audiences for his efforts. Now you can enjoy these poems whenever you need to find inspiration (or overcome desperation) by thumbing through this wonderful little collection of poems. This is a book that adult horsemen and horsewomen will appreciate and enjoy, over and over again. It's the perfect gift to give to someone special... maybe even yourself.
