About this book

The Village Horse Doctor: West of the Pecos by Green, Ben K.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780785820994.

Ben K. Green takes us back to the deep Southwest and the never-a-dull-moment years he spent as a practicing horse doctor along the Pecos and the Rio Grande. With precious little formal schooling but a perfect corral-side manner and plenty of natural wit, Green became the first to hang up a shingle in the trans-Pecos territory. Hear him tell the tales of his struggles with mean stockmen, yellowweed fever, banditos, poison hay, and â drouth.â His canny mix of science and horse sense when treating animals â that ainâ t house petsâ is 100-proof old time pleasure.
