Book Description
A smart, funny memoir exploring the evolution of a man and his relationship with his daughters as they grow up in the grips of the equestrian life. When Chad Oldfather found himself the parent of a toddler who, out of nowhere, became obsessed with horses, he had no idea what awaited. With his younger daughters similarly afflicted, Oldfather was soon enmeshed in the consuming subculture of barns, riding, and horse shows, learning not just about the animals that so inexplicably drew his girls, but also about the people and personalities that populated the spaces around them. A book for parents, whatever their children's interests, and for equestrians, who know what it's like “on the inside” (but maybe not what it's like on the outside, looking in), A Man Walks into a Barn is a wise, witty, and, at times, critical look at both the light and dark sides of youth sports, and equestrianism in particular. Readers find themselves rooting for Oldfather as he struggles to be the best dad he can, supporting a child's dreams in the face of long odds and extraordinary expenses. He writes about his parenting choices and the strange world he finds himself in with humor and honesty, critically examining riding's high cost and the inaccessibility and inequality that results. Aware of the flaws and dangers of youth athletics, as well as the benefits, he strives to protect his girls while supporting their ambitions the best ways he knows how. Filled with the joys, heartbreaks, and life lessons that come from training, competition, and time in the company of horses, this is mostly a book about family, and the strong bonds that can form when parent and child join hands and pursue a passion together.

Book Description
If you’re looking for a big dog with an even bigger heart, the Great Pyrenees may be the dog for you! These gentle giants are fiercely loyal to their owners and make great family pets. Great Pyrenees are cuddly, adorable dogs that love to play and have a good time. They are smart and hardworking, but they have a mind of their own. Because of their tendency to be mischievous, these dogs are best suited for someone with prior dog ownership experience. It may take a little work to train a Great Pyrenees to follow your rules, but once you do, you’ll have a companion for life.
Great Pyrenees were originally bred to guard shepherds’ flocks. Today, they find work as service dogs because they love to be close to people who matter to them. They’re especially good for nursing home residents or people who use wheelchairs, as they’re tall enough to stand beside someone in a chair. These dogs may also find “work” as your family watchdog, as they have superior hearing and a loud bark. However, if you don’t have work for your Great Pyrenees, regular obedience training and lots of playtime will still give your dog the job fulfillment he craves.
The Complete Guide to the Great Pyrenees will answer all your basic questions including:
- Is a Great Pyrenees the right dog for me?
- I brought my Great Pyrenees home. What now?

Let’s be honest here. Owning a Great Pyrenees is no easy task. This breed will challenge your authority if you let it. Raising a dog is a lot of work, but it is one of the most rewarding experiences a human can have. This book breaks down each stage of your dog’s life, giving you all the tips and tricks you need to make your life with your new dog a breeze. You’ll learn everything you need to know about the Great Pyrenees, from picking out the perfect puppy to senior dog care.
