You've just GOT to love this book!

As evidenced by these truly, exceptional photographs, "A Pony in the Picture" has been assembled with a keen eye for nuance and an affectionate yet historical sensibility, I can't imagine a child or adult who wouldn't cherish this wonderful collection of rare, vintage pictures, featuring kids and ponies.

MY Christmas shopping is now, officially DONE! I'm buying a copy for every horse and animal lover I know and suggest you do the same.

Ms. Randall, take a bow.

This is a very clever and compelling subject for a photography book. Taking a common experience many children have, that is sitting on or riding a pony, this collection of photographs of those moments is tremendous fun, and beautifully done.

I purchased this book for my sister who loves Horses and has since she was little. The book is filled with fabulous pictures that keep you smiling and warm your heart. Recommended for anyone!

Is there anyone who hasn't asked for a pony for Christmas? Some actually got them and had their pictures taken with their prize ponies. The photographs in this book will remind you why you wanted a pony so badly. They are so adorable and just the right size for a child. Many children had their photographs taken with photographers patient pony's and the author has collected an amazing collection of them. These "snapshots in time" are precious.
My new book, "Wild Women and Tricky Ladies" will be published in August, 2010. It contains several pictures of little would-be Cowgirls and their ponies. Meanwhile, you can enjoy my book "The Cowgirls Cookbook" [ASIN:0762745126 The Cowgirl's Cookbook: Recipes for Your Home on the Range]
Ride on!

I am enjoying the book. I sit down on the couch and look through it again and again. I only wish there were more pictures.
