Horse Lover

He already owned and managed two ranches and needed a third about as much as he needed a permanent migraine. Alan Day was not in the market for an old ranch in South Dakota, but a persistent realtor prevailed and Day eventually became the proud owner of that 35,000-acre "sea of grass." But how could he make the ranch profitable?
An unusual opportunity soon dropped into Day's lap, and after wrangling Congressional approval, the Mustang Meadows Ranch was established as the country's first government-sponsored wild horse sanctuary the eventual home to 1500 wild horses previously considered "unadoptable" by the Bureau of Land Management.
The Horse Lover: A Cowboy's Quest to Save the Wild Mustangs is Day's heartfelt memoir of this vast enterprise - a story replete with surprise, pleasure, plentiful frustrations and heartbreak. Day's deep connection with animals is readily apparent, as is his maverick philosophy of horse whispering.
Alan Day and his sister Sandra Day O'Connor coauthored the New York Times bestsellerLazy B: Growing up on a Cattle Ranch in the American Southeast.
