Synopsis

Not Bad for an Old Hide is a complete collection of the poems I have written to date as well as a true story about the night I spent under a tree in a snowstorm. The title originated with the poem by the same name but is also a phrase I have heard more times than I care to admit and seemed to fit the occasion. The poems are mostly true except for the ones which are not. The names of those involved have been used so they get credit for their escapades. My family and friends, as well as some of my own misadventures, have been the inspiration for my poetry. Cowboy poetry is a way of passing stories down through generations and so it is my hope that this book will carry my stories to my future generations.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Deb Sustrich was born in Alabama but raised in North Dakota. She grew up in town with all her summers spent on her grandparent's farm-ranch, North of Lake Sacajawea, on the Ft. Berthhold reservation in North Dakota. Her father, Pete Breuer, started her breaking colts when she was 12 years old. Deb has raised, bred, trained and shown Quarter Horses most of her life. Her favorite activities are cutting, reining, and roping. She qualified her stud, Two Fox Tucson, for the AQHA World Championship in 1982 in the Working Cowhorse competition. She was an active 4-H leader and judge in Colorado while her two children, Tamara and Todd, were growing up. Her 4-H Horse Team competed in the Colorado State Fair Horse Show for several years. Deb's coaching and leadership skills were so widely recognized that 4-H Horse Club members drove from neighboring counties to belong to her club. Deb wrote her first cowboy poem in 1984 when her favorite broodmare had to be put down due to a foaling injury. Her poetry is a reflection of all the "cowboy things" she experienced as she grew up around ranching, horses, cowboys and working on a large ranch in Colorado. Her introduction to cowboy poetry was through Charlie Cook, who asked her to perform her poem at a Cowboy Poetry Gather he was helping to organize. Never more nervous in her life, she managed to get through her three poems. Her favorite thing to tell new performers is that it's OK to be nervous and have butterflies in their stomachs. The secret is to get their butterflies to fly in formation. Deb has gone on to perform her cowboy poetry for friends, at Gathers and in the schools, and now her fellow cowboy poets jokingly say they can't get her to shut up! Deb is a charter member of the Sagebrush Cowboyography Association, Inc. based out of Sheridan, Wyoming. She is an enthusiastic member that helps to organize the Annual Cowboy Poetry and Music Gather in Sheridan, Wyoming. Along with trying to build the Sheridan Gather, another of D
