Some More Horse Tradin'

Some More Horse Tradin’ recounts the dealings of a whole slew of craggy old-timers and rangy characters. See them match wits as they trade well-bred mares, snorty-like range colts, and used-to-be-bad horses from the tumbleweed plains. Admire the old-time knavery, skill, and salesmanship in such tales as “Gittin’ Even,” “Brethren Horse Traders,” “Mule Schoolin’,” and “Water Treatment and the Sore-Tailed Bronc.” Ride along with Green, and he’ll tell you what he knows about horseflesh--but keep your wits about you, and hang on to your wallet.

This follow-up books shows the master of the pre-unaddulterated "con" in finest fettle.

From the same corral that produced the widely loved Horse Tradin’, Ben K. Green has rounded up fifteen new yarns filled with the ornery yet irresistible style that has earned his books a place in classic Western Americana.

This 1972 sequel to Green's Horse Tradin' offers more of the same type of illustrated anecdotal stories about raising and selling horses. Green was a veterinarian in Texas, and he came across a number of colorful characters--some four-legged--throughout his career. Anyone interested in good ol' boy-type Americana will have fun with this. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.\

Ben K. Green was a veterinarian who practiced his profession in one of the last big horse countries in North America. When he gave up his practice, he returned to his hometown of Cumby, Texas, where he raised horses and cattle until his death in 1974.
