Stable Books |
After taking a hiatus for years, Marty’s Stable Books has returned and promised to be better than ever. These books have been taken out of the archives, completely overhauled, reworked, and revised, and have a copyright with the Library of Congress. I’m very proud to offer this collection and I’m working on new books to offer you all the time. Please check back in early 2009 for my next book. Thank You.

Happy Horsekeeping with Dirty Holly by Marty Garrison
This is not your ordinary horse care book! Happy Horsekeeping with Dirty Holly is a must-have for all new Miniature Horse and small pony owners, and especially for those that have not made their first purchase yet. As the author of the book, Dirty Holly portrays herself, disgruntled and amusingly opinionated, as she mockingly points out a number of blunders made by the human she owns,“The Old Gal” and “most of the human race.” Like she says: “I have so many personalities, you are bound to like one of them!” Coming straight from the horse’s mouth, Dirty Holly guides the newbie Miniature Horse owner through many entertaining discussions, including feeding, housing, grooming, and general care. This is a light hearted and fun read, with lots of ideas and tips to guide you through all the joys of owning a Miniature Horse.
Delightfully illustrated by Robin Thompson

Here's the buzz on this book:
"You've done a beautiful job of presenting important information in a thorough yet very accessible manner. I can easily see new owners keeping your book in their pockets or in the barn to refer to as things come up. Matter of fact, EVERY breeder should send a copy of this book home with their newbie buyers -- heck, with the more experienced buyers as well." - Susanne
"This is an excellent and easy to understand book about the care and handling of miniature horses. I loved the illustrations and the way the book is spoken from the "horses mouth". It is a must read for oldies and newbies alike." - Carol Albritton, Vertical Limit Farm
"Marty Garrison has managed to write a wonderfully captivating book that is not only informative, but very entertaining! By writing it in the unique perspective of "Dirty Holly", the Miniature Horse.... this book is not only charming, but at times outrageously funny & will leave you in stitches! A very good read, even if you're NOT interested in the wealth of information on horse care that Marty slips right in on each page!" - Dona Neargarder, KICKAPOO ACRES MINIATURE HORSES
"I give this book two hooves up!! I especially like the First Aid and General Hospital sections. Way to go!" - Dr. Pam

"My
husband and I want our children to grow up loving to read books. We want
them to read books with engaging and interesting stories with a message --
books like Marty Garrison's. Marty writes wonderfully enchanting stories for children. She has a unique ability to
see the world through the eyes of children, adults and animals. Each story
also has a positive message. Our children treasure Marty's books and their
copies are tattered from being read many times over. They also love
knowing that the characters and stories in Marty's books are based on real
places, people and animals. They especially like it that the main
characters are miniature horses."
"In our school system, there is a contest held every spring. It is called the "Academy Awards of Literature."
Kids choose a book or an author and do a review and
presentation telling why they like that particular book or author. |
