One of my favorite authors is H. Alan Day. He is the brother of Sandra Day O’Connor who grew up on the largest ranch West of the Mississippi – The Lazy B. He has many stories to tell about his life – and his love of the horse. Alan is also a huge advocate of the mustang. His book, The Horse Lover, was so inspiring, as soon as I finished it, I wrote to him. I was that moved.
ALAN IS A FRIEND… such a mentor!
After calling Alan, we sparked a friendship based on our mutual love of the mustangs. He even invited me out to the Lazy B – which was incredible. You can read that story here.
Now Alan is writing a column – of sorts – about his life. Quick comments of cowboy wisdom.
Here is one for your enjoyment!

HORSE AND MAN is a blog in growth... if you like this, please pass it around!

H Alan Day tops the short list of my favorite writers. His stories of times past on the ranches are poignant and rewarding in the messages they hold. I would love to meet this person who brings such enjoyment. I have “loaned” my copy of The Horse Lover to friends…but they also pass it on and I never expect to get it back! Another trip to the book store is coming up. Thank you for calling attention to his writings.
