Joy did not choose her husbands wisely.
Like many other new husbands, who promised to understand
and help with their wife's dedication - jealousy of
the time spent with the horses was the cause of Joy's
marriage breakups - however, she fought for independence
over incredible odds and triumphed.
Joy's beginning as daughter of a prominent
horse loving father in England, a fine education, service
in the WRNS, two husbands, a long standing affair, penniless
immigration to Canada culminated in her discovery of
the American Quarter Horse and attaining outstanding
successes in spite of overwhelming odds.
Enriched by outstanding friendships,
she created may hard won triumphs, but none more than
her greatest partisan, Hyline Gentry.
"You must write a book!" many
hear someone saying. Joy went further and has written
her experiences form an exciting, sometimes devastating,
but rewarding life.
Joy for Living has become
a best seller in Canada.
