[Osiris Oliphant]

contains a story that i had seen on the news when it happened but was never sure if i had made it up. it concerned a horse that was brought down during a race by someone in the audience using an ultrasonic gun disguised as binoculars.

A fun book to read with lots of laughs at true stories. Being around horses are never boring and you need to keep good cheer to survive everything they can dish out. I enjoyed this book very much.
