Horseshoe in my Hip Pocket - Lucky Again!
By Bob Kjos
$24.95

 This is the autobiography of Bob Kjos; a cowboy, homesteader, outfitter and a man with more lucky horseshoes than anyone I know – or have heard of before. This exceptionally well-written book will transport you to the most amazing series of hair-raising adventures from his childhood to present day.

The author says it best when he describes it as being ‘from a time past and a way of life that we will never see again, when life was slowed down to the speed a horse traveled.’ Mind you, many of the wrecks he survived – whether it was flooding rivers, crashing airplanes, roping wildie studs or outrunning charging cow moose – were done at the speed a horse travels – when he’s wide open.

It’s a rollicking read full of high resolution photographs of famous and should-be-famous characters and horses. There is also the odd touch of tragedy – just enough to make the reader know Bob Kjos indeed has often been Lucky Again.

If you read only one book this year – this should be the book. Highly recommended by Terri Mason.

This book is available online at www.cowboycountrymagazine.com and at many small town outlets.
