At Trafalgar Square Books (www.HorseandRiderBooks.com), summer means a wild array of exciting new horse books are arriving in our warehouse (aka renovated cow barn) daily. Here’s what showed up recently!
RIDERS OF A CERTAIN AGE by rider and writer Fran Severn is a delightfully honest look at the realities of starting out with horses…when you’re getting older. With carefully curated guidance collected over years of horsing around, Severn wants to embolden and empower you with tips, lessons, and advice as you begin enjoying a life with horses in it.

Those familiar with Wilsie’s work will find novel ideas that have developed since the first book was released, and those new to Horse Speak will be supported with fundamental lessons that will allow them to start having authentic “conversations” with their horses during their very next trip to the barn.
