Backside Itch

by Kathleen Rafferty

Overview

Backside Itch is a humorous work of non- fiction. The “backside” is the barn area where thoroughbreds are made ready to race. Backside Itch is about the everyday life behind the scenes of racing, where it is all about the horses and their well-being.
What does it take to be a “good hand” with racehorses? Join the author as she learns to speak “horse,” from hot walker to groom, with no experience, just a love for horses. Take the journey, learn, if you don’t know, remember, if you already know, or, nod knowingly, if you are living the life.
