The opportunity then dropped into his lap to ascertain a sanctuary for unadoptable wild horses prior to now warehoused by the Bureau of Land Management. After Day successfully lobbied Congress, those acres changed into Mustang Meadows Ranch, the first government-sponsored wild horse sanctuary established in america.

The Horse Lover is Day’s personal history of the sanctuary’s vast enterprise, with its surprises and pleasures and its plentiful dangers, frustrations, and heartbreak. Day’s deep connection with the animals in his care is clear from the outset, as is his maverick philosophy of horse-whispering, with which he trained fifteen hundred wild horses. The Horse Lover weaves together Day’s recollections of his cowboying adventures astride a few of his absolute best horses, all of which taught him indispensable lessons about loyalty, perseverance, and hope. This heartfelt memoir reveals the Herculean task of balancing the requirements of the federal government with the wishes of wild horses.
