Readers who are used to Wofford’s books on training horses will find a new side to him, a side that has rarely surfaced until the publication of this, his latest work.

Based on his experiences as a lifelong trainer of horses and as an avid hunter and fisherman, the book includes descriptions of the Olympics, accounts of hair-raising experiences in Alaska, and stories of hunting all over the country . . . all told from the author’s humorous point of view. Both equestrians and outdoors enthusiasts will find a great deal in this book to interest them, told in Jim’s amusing, interesting, and often poignant way.
