Stud by Kevin Conley
Every year on Valentine's Day, the great Thoroughbred farms open their breeding sheds and begin their primary business. The fearsome roars of stallions and the vigorous encouragement of their handlers echo through breeding country, from the hills of Kentucky to the valleys of California. This book looks at the billion-dollar business behind them.
'Funny, insightful.engaging..a vividly equine-centric view of social, cultural and economic human history' Publishers Weekly 'An engaging book that provides a window into a bizarre world of sex, drugs and money' Guardian 'Kevin Conley is the Bill Bryson of the breeding shed' Sunday Telegraph
