Bob Goddard's perspective on the horse world is humorous yet insightful. The reader laughs out loud one moment, then nods in full agreement the next, thinking "Yeah, I've done that." His pieces are something all horse lovers can relate to and enjoy.

Goddard's humor transcends all barriers of all that is "sacred" in the horse world. He makes us see the humor in everything we do; even the most serious of tasks, and helps us to laugh at ourselves.
- Carol Eilers, editor & publisher, Apples 'n Oats

Beautiful, rich in detail, Horse Crazy is a complex, deeply satisfying read. Showcasing the power of human goodness and how love, in many forms can prevail, it is a transcendent and enduring American work. Buy it as soon as you can - Bob's low on beer money.
 - Ellen Broadhurst, author of The Chronicles of the $700 Pony

I love editing Bob's articles because it looks like I'm working, but really I'm laughing and loving his unique perspective on this crazy little thing called the horse world. His essays are funny in a friendly way. He never fails to brighten my day!

He made up a lot of stuff about me.
- Hiliary Goddard, Daughter

ob Goddard finds humor in the situations every parent of a horse crazy kid will face at one time or another. His writings will make you smile, and should be mandatory reading for parents- before purchasing a horse."
- Sally Alford Manning, Editor, Horse & Pony News, Inc.

 I ceased to find Bob funny years ago. But a 100 page book might not be so bad…
- Jenny Goddard, Wife

T
he Chronicle is news orientated. We don’t use a lot of this kind of material. But thank you for sneaking into the media tent!
 - Beth Rasin, Managing Editor, The Chronicle of the Horse

Bob's stories always make me smile! Thank you for sharing your wonderful sense of horse humor.
 - Cindy Couturier - Owner, Saddle Up! Magazine

His perspective as he fondly patronized the addiction of two horse-crazy daughters is one to which everyone, especially parents, will be able to relate.
 - Jean Llewellyn, Editor, Phelpssports.com


If you are a parent of a horse crazy girl, Bob Goddard's humor collections will be a great stress reliever for you and help you keep your sense of humor through it all.  When your horse crazy girl has grown into a horse crazy woman, give the book to her and she will find herself laughing as much as you did. I know, as a horsewoman Bob's humor makes me laugh out loud, because it's all so true.
 - Cheryl Childs, Editor, The Pony Press

No it’s not.
- Hiliary Goddard, Daughter

Bob Goddard has just authored the third finest equine humor book ever published.  This enthusiastic endorsement would, of course, have more resonance if not for the fact that this is fourth equine humor book ever published.  Goddard's book Horse Crazy!  quickly passed an eleven page self-publication written in 1973 as an occupational therapy project by a Mr. Ed Grubnick titled "Hoarse HaHa."

Our readers are constantly telling me how much they enjoy Bob’s humor column. That’s because Bob sees the funny side of things in the horse world. He has to – he’s the father of two horse-crazy girls.  For example, Bob believes that dressage might achieve the popularity of say, football, if it allowed multiple riders in the ring – say 20 or 30 – and that it might be cool to watch … if the riders were equipped with weapons and allowed to attack each other.
– Cindy Mark, Editor, Horses All

Bob's is laugh-out-loud humor.
