PREVENTION is key to behavioral health. Adequate SOCIALIZATION of young animals both with their species and with humans is essential for normal psychological health and mental development. Appropriate training that appreciates the nature of the dog, cat, and horse is a veterinary behavior essential, as well.

HORSES THEY RODE
“This is a fascinating novel.” Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall and Dalva When I started reading this fine novel, I was at first taken aback, then disturbed. After fifty pages, I realized -- or more accurately, admitted -- why: I was humbled. Sid Gustafson's understanding of Montana -- real cowboys and Indians, and the love-hate dependency that ties them, the land, and its animals together -- is bone deep, blood true, and beautifully described. Neil McMahon, author of Twice Dying, Blood Double and the forthcoming Lone Creek, HarperCollins / April 2007 -- set in and around Helena, Montana. Few novelists have a sense of place, for Americans are a rootless people. Sid’s is acute, and he tells a great story of his land and the people on it, and in it… Peter Bowen, author of Coyote Wind and the Gabriel Du Pré Montana Mysteries “Sid Gustafson writes like the language is a race horse and he is the rider, ready to go as far and fast as they both can go. He is in love with words, especially as they attach to the weather, terrain and inhabitants of Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front, one of the most unforgiving and beautiful regions on the planet. He knows what he’s talking about. Listen to him.” Deidre McNamer, author of Rima in the Weeds and My Russian
