I found this book to be very interesting and informative, if a bit dry in areas. It was a wonderful insight to the people who help to shape the Quarter Horse world.

Product Description

Legends 7 is Western Horseman's popular series highlighting Quarter Horses who've had a significant impact on the breed and, in many instances, re-shaped entire event-specific industries, such as cutting, reining, halter and western pleasure. One of the most interesting aspects of this installment is noting how the 18 stallions and 2 mares profiled have descended from horses in previous volumes; thus legends are creating legends. Hundreds of photos, some rarely or never before published, illustrate the horses' stories. And, as with previous volumes, each chapter includes a four-generation pedigree, a summary of the stallion's or mare's show or race recorc and a progeny record detailing the achievements of the horse's offspring

Book Description

His horse gear, a bedroll and a warbag containing a change or two of clothes - these worldly goods were about all the old-time ranch hand could call his own. They were prized possessions, though, and together were usually referred to as "my forty year' gatherins."

The stories in this book are Spike Van Cleve's forty years' gatherins - cherished memories of rugged, honest living in the clean air and mountainous rangeland near Big Timber, Montana.

Spike was born, raised and lived until he died in this land he called "the prettiest country God ever made . . .heaven can't be any better than this." There, he and his family-like his Dad and Granddad before him-ran the Van Cleve ranch, now a 20,000 acre expanse under the Crazy Mountains in south central Montana.

Spike Van Cleve was a natural born storyteller who was educated at Harvard but received his "learning" on the Montana range riding his horses and doing an honest day's work. In this collection of true stories about the land, the people, the horses and the good old times, Spike shifts like the wind, as in his touching story of "Cody and Terry," when the fatal crack of Spike's rifle signals the merciful end to a close partnership between a tearful cowboy and his favorite work horses. This sensitive, poetic story earned Spike Van Cleve a Western Heritage Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.

5 out of 5 stars A book for my permanent libary.......2006-01-14

I've met Spike's decendents, stayed at their ranch, and this is how I discovered these books by Spike Van Cleve around ten years ago. They are so good, I had to share them with friends and I loaned them out. Since they have disappeared, I need to buy them again! These are timeless stories that show the true flavor of the people and the country. I don't buy many books--but these I will buy twice.

5 out of 5 stars HOME AND HUMOR ON THE RANGE.......2005-04-01

THIS IS A VERY FUNNY AND DANG GOOD READ IF YOU LOVE HORSES
AND THE WIDE OPEN COUNTRY OF MONTANA AND WYOMING. HE LETS YOU IN ON HOW HE UNDERSTANDS HORSES AND TELLS OF SOME WILD DAYS IN THE SADDLE.THERE ARE SOME GREAT DUDE RANCH STORIES ABOUT DIFFERENT GUESTS.IF HE WERE STILL ALIVE I WOULD DEFINITELY WANT TO GO TO HIS.HE IS A SPECIAL,COLORFUL AND DOWN HOME, HILARIOUS GUY.

5 out of 5 stars In one book or less..............2002-03-02

This book describes the people, the attitude, and the lifestyle of Montana - from 1870 until today. The Crazy Mountains continue to evoke the same vast, colorful emotions from those of us who have had the priviledge to grow up beneath them. A must read for anybody who has lived in Montana - and a "should read" for anybody else. A colorful, vivid reminder of home - one of my favorites.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding.......2001-03-21

I lived in Montana for two years and a friend suggested I read this book. I bought a copy and could not put it down. After I finished it two days later, I bought his other book "A Day Late And A Dollar Short". Ten years later, I am still reading them. Spike doesn't just tell you a story, you live it. If you have any interest at all in ranch life, horses, family, humor, or Montana history; these should be on your list. You'll learn what "slaunchwise" humor and "going to the mountains" is all about.

It's unfortunate that he only wrote two books.

As your friend and fellow author put it, I too, "hope God gives you a horse" Spike.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent story of everyday life in Melville, Montana~.......1999-11-18

This book is an excellent piece of work. I probably am somewhat biased as like the author, I too spent my formative years in the Big Open of Eastern Montana. I can certainly sympathize and relate to alot of what old Spike says about nature, family and ranch life in general.

As with previous volumes, each horse's story includes a four-generation pedigree, a summary of his/her show and/or race record, a sire or production record, and many photographs.

3 out of 5 stars It's ok, but not worth the price.......2006-12-13

For a book of this price, I was expecting the photos of the horses to be in color. There are plenty of photos, but the only color is on the front & back cover. It's ok, but for this price, Western Horseman could do better.

The horses profiled in this book are:
Bartender
Bill Cody
Chicado V
Chubby
Custus Rastus (TB)
Hank H
Leo San
Little Joe
Jackie Bee
Jaguar
Joe Cody
Joe Moore
Monita

            Book Description

            Just like the previous two Legends books, this one also profiles a number of stallions and several mares who gained fame in the American Quarter Horse Association. While some of them played roles in the formation of the breed, others are more contemporary. Some gained fame on the track, while others carved their niches in the show ring, and some did both. Many are also household names in the Quarter Horse industry because of their additional impact on the breed as sires and dams.

            Each chapter is about a specific stallion or mare, and includes a four-generation pedigree, a summary of the horse's performance record and sire or production record, and many photographs.
