Well, I finished reading your book, every word of it, and it held my interest to the end! It was a pleasure getting to know your family. Loved the photos, especially the Scheidt family portrait; your mother was so pretty. Guess I identified with Ollie and enjoyed going along with her as you took us from place to place. Your dad was born to do what he did, it seems, and was a master at it.

Art Simmons trained and showed horses for my grandfather, who had many stories of being cheated by trainers - until he found your dad. And then Art was the only man for him!

I met your Father in the early 80's and found him to be a true gentleman. We purchased a few saddlebreds from him and traded a few over a 7 year period. I can't wait for your book!

What a wonderful thing you have done for the Saddlehorse industy. I remember your father and know that the years of dedication to the breed came from pure passion for the horses. I loved seeing how consistency, salesmanship, marketing, campaigning, accounting and good old gut intuition played an ongoing role in his success. Be well and know that your book truly touched all of our family.

Dear Jane -- You couldn’t have applied your writing skills to a more meaningful project. I can only imagine the amount of research involved, but to write about a true legend of a horseman like your dad preserves a slice of history that might otherwise be lost to us all.

Your book arrived yesterday safe and sound --- my largest problem now is I just can't put it down. It brings back soooo many wonderful memories!! You have put so much of yourself into this book -- what a GREAT job you've done.
