Product Description: When popular equine photographer Barbara Livingston released her book Old Friends in 2002 to profile and honor Thoroughbred racing's beloved "seniors" through her words and photographs, fan reaction was immediate: "When is Old Friends 2 coming out?!" The original book, now out of print, remains popular with collectors. A Lexington, Kentucky, area equine organization even took on the name "Old Friends" to give r etired racehorses a final home. So, now, Livingston is back with More Old Friends, featuring 175 color photographs of some of racing's most revered retirees.
Wonderful, sentimental memories... I loved this book as much as the first one, the descriptions of all these grand horse are just a good as the wonderful pictures. It so nice to know these horses are remembered and cared for so lovingly. Can't wait for volume 3!
Moving Beautiful, moving, a reasonable alternative to those of us who can't afford the first "Old Friends" ,going for c. $260 and up.
More Old Friends a must have! While perhaps not as good as the first one (the horses are less "famous" overall) this is still an excellent book with the same great pictures and behind the scenes information. What was really heart warming about this book was how many farms and individuals, big and small, actually CARE about their oldsters and keep them happy and comfortable no matter what it takes, high vet bills, special shoes, special feeds, housing, whatever. If only ALL TB owners and breeders would do the right thing that way these farms do then precious few would end up in kill pens or low end auctions.
More old friends Great book with lots of nice pictures. Printing quality is excellent and with detail info regarding each . Great book and really enjoy reading it.
Great photographs Ms. Livingston makes her living with her photos and this book will show you why. The much-too-brief stories that accompany her photos will make you smile and cry. Wonderful companion book to her original "Old Friends," which I now wish I owned!
