WINNER New Mexico - Arizona Book Award WINNER Arizona Authors Association Book Award WINNER Will Rogers Medallion Award FINALIST Reading the West Book Award He already owned and managed two ranches and needed a third about as much as he needed a permanent migraine: that's what Alan Day said every time his friend pestered him about an old ranch in South Dakota. But in short order, he proudly owned 35,000 pristine grassy acres. The opportunity then dropped into his lap to establish a sanctuary for unadoptable wild horses previously warehoused by the Bureau of Land Management. After Day successfully lobbied Congress, those acres became Mustang Meadows Ranch, the first government-sponsored wild horse sanctuary established in the United States. The Horse Lover is Day's personal history of the sanctuary's vast enterprise, with its surprises and pleasures and its plentiful dangers, frustrations, and heartbreak. Day's deep connection with the animals in his care is clear from the outset, as is his maverick philosophy of horse-whispering, with which he trained fifteen hundred wild horses. The Horse Lover weaves together Day's recollections of his cowboying adventures astride some of his best horses, all of which taught him indispensable lessons about loyalty, perseverance, and hope. This heartfelt memoir reveals the Herculean task of balancing the requirements of the government with the needs of wild horses.

[This is] a wonderful account of a historical change that set a precedent for the care of wild horses in the United States. . . . Touching and occasionally heart-wrenching.”—Logan Young, Big Muddy: A Journal of the Mississippi River Valley\n“A very readable account of the innovative steps [Day] took to create a haven for unadoptable horses, liberally punctuated with reminiscences of a cowboying life that allow Day’s love of he land and of the animals—and his fierce commitment to the stewardship of both—to shine with brilliance.”—Helene Woodhams, Southwest Books of the Year\n“[The coauthors] have brought attention to some key issues facing the American West today. . . .

A groundbreaking plan for creating a genuinely happy home using six simple steps. Here is the "home improvement" book families really need. How Happy Families Happen provides simple steps for transforming the home into a place of emotional and spiritual health. Too many homes today exude unhappiness in the form of bickering, cold silences, disrespect, and separateness. Focusing on how family members set the household mood, the authors present a quick, effective, six-step plan for transforming an unhappy home into one of joy and peace. The authors identify six harmful characteristics (narcissism, neglect, playing favorites, neediness, abusiveness, and submission to abusiveness) and provide a counter plan based on more than 30 years of research. Readers will be fascinated with case histories of families as well as references to families in popular culture. A self-test for rating the happiness in one’s childhood home is also included.

FINALIST New Mexico-Arizona Book AwardFINALIST Arizona Authors Association Book Award If you're served a piece of humble pie, thank the server and choke it down. So says H. Alan Day, an award-winning author and American cowboy, who grew up on a 200,000-acre southwestern cattle ranch, made a hand at age five, and lived adventures most of us only witness on Netflix. While interacting with cowhands, horses, and the land, Alan learned valuable life lessons about loyalty, trust, humility, forgiveness, persistence, failure, innovation, and success. Now, this cowboy shares his hard-earned wisdom with those who may never own or even ride a horse, much less rope a cow, train a wild mustang, or witch a well, but who, like Alan, contend day-in and day-out with the true grit of life. COWBOY UP! is a collection of thirty-five personal stories narrated by Alan Day in his authentic western voice. These stories evoke laughter, disbelief, wonder, joy, and more than a few heartfelt tears. So saddle up and enjoy the ride!
