Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Trafalgar Square published its first horse book — Centered Riding by Sally Swift, who lives in Brattleboro, Vermont — in 1985 and the book remains one of the best-selling horse books of all time. It was this book that provided the spark that led Trafalgar Square’s owners, Ted and Caroline Robbins, to start up a horse book publishing business. Why horse books? Because the Robbins were, and still are, horse owners and riders. In the 1980s, they became acquainted with Sally Swift through a circle of riding friends and Sally taught them both at their farm in North Pomfret, Vermont where farming (cattle and horses) co-exists with the book publishing today. When Sally began thinking of publishing her work, it made perfect sense for her to turn to Caroline. Caroline was already operating a successful book distribution outlet for British publishers so starting up her own publishing list made good sense. Together, Sally and Caroline brought Centered Riding to life and the book became the foundation of Trafalgar Square’s publishing program.
