First off, book #1 ("Ranching and Livestock") was a first-class introduction to ranching! Told from Hank's perspective, young readers learned the difference between a ranch and a farm, how cows digest grass, how to run a ranch as a successful business, how to choose the right breed of cattle for your ranch, and taking care of cattle through the various types of weather...and much more!
Now, the second book in the series, "Cowboys and Horses" takes that knowledge a bit further! Saddle up for some fun as Hank gives young cowpokes a glimpse into the world of horses and the ins-and-outs of the life of a professional working cowboy! In "Cowboys and Horses," you'll learn things like: the history of traildriving in America, a cowboy's role in a ranching operation, qualities to look for in a good horse, how to train horses, roping technique, and more!
