Two hours outside of Boise, Idaho, is a sign that reads, “Welcome to Stallions and Studs.” In the four stories corralled together in this collection, read about the cowboys who work the ranch and the men who come there to live out their cowboy fantasies. Riding, herding cattle, rodeoing along with moonlit trail rides, snuggling by a camp fire, and rolling around in the hay are just some of the activities available to the guests seeking to lasso themselves some cowboy fun. And for a few, if they’re lucky, a whole lot more. Contains the stories: Shoulda Been a Cowboy: Charlie Bradley, enthralled with cowboys, chooses a dude ranch for his summer vacation. There he meets Wade Connors who, in addition to being his riding instructor, romances Charlie as his playmate of the week. What happens when Charlie’s week ends and he has to return home? Back in the Saddle Again: Mack MacIntyre has left his life as a cowboy behind. For 35 years he’s been a devoted husband, father, and businessman far from his roots in the west. One day that old life, in the form of Seth Buchanan, comes knocking on his door. Seth has a dream. Does Mack have the courage to share in it? Rodeo Cowboy: Lex Cunningham and Trent Boxwood ride rodeo together. Lex hopes Trent’s friendship can be turned to something more, but when he acts on signs that Trent is interested, Trent rebuffs him. Why? Will Trent overcome what stands between them? Reining In Rio: The single life is just fine for Rio Cody. His motto is monogamy is monotony. However, at a local horse show he meets someone who may turn that notion inside out. But Mark Wembly is not at all Rio’s type and is a pain in the butt to boot. Will Rio continue to ride alone, or will Mark rein him in?

Breyerfest 2017 Edition. When I had 100 models I could still remember what I owned. When I had 300 models I computerized my records - and crated the first version of this list. That was years ago. Breyer had added thousands of new models and hundreds of new molds. New (and old) companies have come and gone, or changed names. I'm always looking for more information, especially for companies and models not listed in this book. Detail start to escape me - was that the bay with 3 socks and black hooves, or the bay with 3 socks and pink hooves, of the bay with 4 socks version? There is just too much information to remember. I'm an avid collector. When I first started in the hobby, there were no books available, just box catalogs. This book is meant to be a record of YOUR collection. It is meant to be written in. You can mark if you own it or just want it. You can even write in a name for your model under the notes section. See you at Breyerfest!
