Here's what some readers have to say:

“Just finished Track to Trail! It’s truly incredible! I was blown away! It’s so smart; I loved the what your Standardbred wants you to know section!” Ashley Tetrick, USTA Director

“I read the book, cover to cover this morning!! Could not put it down. So incredibly well done. In every way. It’s perfect!! Congratulations to you, Dot and everyone else who got that in print!”  Jennifer Daniels, Exec Director Standardbred Transition Alliance

“Track to Trail is one of the best-written books about Standardbreds and transitioning a harness horse to the trails that I’ve ever seen. Dot Morgan has covered it all from the beginning to the end. She has put so much knowledge from her own personal experiences and research. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to purchase or adopt an ex-harness horse for pleasure riding.”  Sherry Hilton, avid trail rider and adopter
