Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Walking with Mustangs opens with stories from the author's childhood and his love of horses. It includes a history on the introduction of mustangs in the West. It recounts his interactions with wild mustangs in Reno, Nevada. Chapters 2-13 are fascinating tales of animals in the wild, told from the animals' point of view. Lloyd Shanks is a lifetime lover and studentof nature, especially horses, and an adventurer. He has always been an avid reader and gains a lot of satisfaction in writing. This is his first, fully published book. Lloyd lives with his family in Bozeman, Montana.What Readers Have Said-Lloyd Shanks' journey into print began decades ago in a one-room schoolhouse in California's Gold Country, when a teacher read stories about horses aloud to her class. His childhood ambition to one day own equines wasn't realized, but after he retired, a herd of Nevada mustangs brought his life to full circle. His experiences as an accidental horse-whisperer led him, Jack London-style, into the minds of other wild creatures. His book is part memoir, sprinkled with western history and natural history, with fantasy and fiction blended in. It's a record of the trek his heart has taken over many years. Shanks' work gives truth to the adage that "life has more imagination than dreams."-Frank X. Mullen, Jr., author of The Donner Party ChroniclesI picked up Lloyd's book one evening and got halfway through it. I found it hard to put down! It's an and interesting and fun read-educational too. -Heather M. Gleen, Senior Proofreader for Mule Deer PressI was transported to the animal realm through Walking With Mustangs and Other Wild Animal Tales. I was given the opportunity to view another perspective. As humans, we filter our understanding of other kingdoms through our own life experience. Animals don't view or communicate through the limited pallet that we use. It was refreshing to read these heartfelt stories.-Karen Nowak, author of Eye To Eye, The Language of Energy and HorseThe Wild Animal Tales help us explore the psyches of animals that we humans often describe as powerless in their instincts. Lloyd points out that these animals may be more like us that we realize in their willingness to protect their young and fight for their lives. His writing also suggests that humans are only a single ingredient in our natural world. I enjoyed the reading!-Hanna Massey, Montana State University graduate in English Literature and Writing, pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing This item is printed on demand.
