<< For an interesting portrayal of a devoted husband of a devoted
horsewoman, read Jane Smiley's _Barn Blind_.
Smiley won the Pulitzer prize for her book _1000 Acres_.
Turns out she is an avid hunter/jumper/dressage person.
_Barn Blind_ was her first novel. Good. Chilling. >>
On the subject of good books, and guys who are supportive, do read "Here on
Earth" an Oprah book, loosly based on horses, but a great read, and a
definate example of a BAD choice for a partner!
