Items related to An Englishman in Texas: a memoir
An Englishman in Texas is a memoir by Ron Kenney, an English jockey who came to the United States in 1960. His autobiographical account begins with his childhood in the northeast of England during WWII. He goes on to describe how, with no knowledge of horses, he was sent four hundred miles from home at 14 years of age to apprentice as a jockey. He'd been turned away by the foreman at the coal mine because he was too small. The story follows Kenney through his coming of age to his coming to America when he was 30. It follows his fortunes in pursuit of the American Dream. Kenney tells of riding horses for some of the wealthiest and most famous horse trainers in Texas. He tells of his loves and his betrayals, and he introduces the people who helped him along the way.

About the Author:
Today, Ron Kenney continues to spread good cheer through various volunteer-based organizations in the Hitchcock, Texas area with his wife Alice by his side.
Review:
Ron Kenney is a man short in stature, but tall in tales. His small size as a child dictated what he was "chosen" to do in England, but his dreams were far bigger. He brought those big dreams to the United States of America where his small size allowed him to stand tall. Ron soared to new heights as a young man competing as a horse jockey. He went on from there to marry and raise a family and live a successful life full of wonderful stories and lessons learned. . . . I believe that people of all ages will enjoy reading Ron's life story . . . He is a perfect example of an American success story--someone who has risen above it all to stand tall and proud. His heart of gold and never-failing determination have molded his life and made him a giant in my books!"
