More whisperings… Join the Horseman’s Services Scholarship Project!

November 16, 2007 by Smokie.

Hello friends,

I just wanted to update you on a few things.

If you didn’t get the October issue of the Western Horseman magazine, I have attached a copy of the article for you to read about “Whisper This”

I have also just started something new called the HORSEMAN’S SERVICES SCHOLARSHIP PROJECT. Since I have been donating a portion of the proceeds from my book to the Wisconsin Horse Council, Equine Foundation Scholarship Fund anyway, I thought that I could do even better by starting this project. I am seeking the help of my friends who have read my book, businesses, and anyone else… To become my partners in this project. For individuals buying the book you will be donating a portion to the price to this scholarship fund.. (And Thank YOU!) For any business that will purchase my book and carry it in their store, I will list them as a partner in my project on my web site and do everything I can to help them promote it through book signings and advertising. AND… I am not going to take any money for doing it! You see for me, it truly is about educating people about horses and what comes with it.. So if I can get the word out, print more books for folks to read and get a kid in school thats what I want to do. So please help me spread the word and give something back.. Thanks a lot! Smokie

Here is the article from the Western Horseman..

Whisper This: Not to Your Horse, to Yourself

Smokie Brannaman

ALL TOO OFTEN, Author Smokie Brannaman writes, he’s seen what he calls a “Black Beauty Fantasy” that ends up in… “broken bones, broken dreams, broken bank accounts and unbroken or ruined horses.”

To keep such scenarios from recurring when a wannabe rider steps up to horse ownership, Brannaman wrote Whisper This, his brief, common sense book on horse ownership, which he describes as a “no bull” book for horse and rider. Did I mention the author is blunt and plainspoken?

Readers looking for the fantasy horse experience probably will not appreciate all of Brannaman’s opinions: said opinions might hit too close to home. However, other readers and riders likely will wish their nerve and forthrightness was on par with the author’s.

And, yes. Brannaman is “the not-so-rich-and-famous brother of one of the finest clinicians and horsemen in the country, if not the world”
