WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
"This is truly a romantic book, filled with quiet heroism and undying love, and the kind of simple stories that give you goosebumps and bring tears to your eyes."
- Crystal Brumme Kimball, The Equiery
"Livingston is a two-time Eclipse Award-winning photographer who is also a graceful writer and dedicated reporter of the stories behind the horses that attract her gifted eye."
- Jay Hovdey, Daily Racing Form
"...a must-have for all equine lovers."
-THE FLORIDA HORSE
“Sequels are seldom as compelling as the original but that's clearly not the case with "More Old Friends." Barbara Livingston inspired us to start a Thoroughbred retirement home in Kentucky through her insightful photographs and crisp writing. Anyone can take a picture of a horse but very few photo artists can capture the unique qualities that makes each of these great athletes distinctive. The photographs she's taken at our farm of Ogygian, Sunshine Forever and, in particular, Precisionist speak to their particular personalities in a rare and revealing way. She allows the horse to be a horse and not a contrivance designed to fit human expectations. The horses are very fortunate to have such a talented, dedicated chronicler.”
-Michael Blowen, Founder and President of Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement
