For those who are curious, this is the book Paul selected to receive as a prize in Book View Café’s grand opening giveaway.

Judith Tarr is not just a writer. She also breeds, raises, and trains Lipizzan horses on her farm near Tucson, Arizona. How cool is that?

Writing Horses was written to help writers get horses right in their fiction:

How fast can a horse run? What happens when a foal is born? How have humans and horses evolved together over the millennia? And above all, what mistakes do writers most often make when writing about horses, and how can the educated writer avoid them?

Oh, and besides being a respected writer and mistress of horses, Judith Tarr is also a very skilled freelance editor, so if you’re ever in need of some professional feedback on a manuscript, look her up.

Update: Oh, I am so uncreative. To pick a winner I wrote names on slips of paper and had my husband pull one from the pile. Judy Tarr let her horse pick!
