Horseback Mostly Bareback: Short Stories of a Mustang in the Fox River Valley

By Jd Koby

Up through the early 1980's local horseback riders could ride through the many farm fields, pastures, and undeveloped countryside of northern Illinois and Wisconsin, and not get caught up by the excessive fencing, housing developments, strip malls, and endless ribbons of asphalt roads you see there today. Large horse farms dotted the landscape and expanses of open land beckoned riders to experience a little of what this country must have been like on horseback in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.

This book is a collection of true stories about me and the local tribe of horsemen and horsewomen I belonged to. The stories tell of our adventures, our challenges and our day to day lives as riders in the Fox River Valley in the 1960's, 70's, and early 80's.
