Product Description
When popular equine photographer Barbara Livingston released her book Old Friends in 2002 to profile and honor Thoroughbred racing's beloved "seniors" through her words and photographs, fan reaction was immediate: "When is Old Friends 2 coming out?!" The original book, now out of print, remains popular with collectors. A Lexington, Kentucky, area equine organization even took on the name "Old Friends" to give r etired racehorses a final home. So, now, Livingston is back with More Old Friends, featuring 175 color photographs of some of racing's most revered retirees.

More Old Friends a must have! November 15, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
While perhaps not as good as the first one (the horses are less "famous" overall) this is still an excellent book with the same great pictures and behind the scenes information. What was really heart warming about this book was how many farms and individuals, big and small, actually CARE about their oldsters and keep them happy and comfortable no matter what it takes, high vet bills, special shoes, special feeds, housing, whatever. If only ALL TB owners and breeders would do the right thing that way these farms do then precious few would end up in kill pens or low end auctions.

Ms. Livingston makes her living with her photos and this book will show you why. The much-too-brief stories that accompany her photos will make you smile and cry. Wonderful companion book to her original "Old Friends," which I now wish I owned!
Barbara Livingston does it again! October 4, 2007

More Old Friends is a gorgeous book; heartfelt, beautiful and intriguing.
Barbara Livingston is a masterful equine historian. Her work is so much more than a tribute to these senior horses; it is important history. These Old Friends will never be forgotten. Their stories and their softly graying faces are captured forever on the pages of these wonderful Old Friends books.
I hope Barbara keeps making Old Friends books. They are treasures!
Thank you, Barbara, for another incredible Old Friends book. I can't wait for the next one!
