Boxenstart erzählt das faszinierende Leben von Sonia, einer Pferdetrainerin aus dem Mittleren Westen, die sich in der rauen Welt der amerikanischen Rennbahnen ihren Platz erobert. Lebendig, pointiert und voller Integrität fängt Kathryn Scanlan das Leben einer Frau auf der Rennbahn ein: das flache Land, die baufälligen Stallanlagen, die miesen Erlebnisse und Reibereien; aber auch das Siegerpodest und die Rennbahnbar, die schicken Anzüge, die Lebenskünstler - und die ganz besondere Sprache der 'Stallburschen, Pferdepfleger, Jockeys, Trainer, Stewards, Arbeitsreiter, Pferdeführer - allen'. Die Pferdetrainerin Sonia gibt es wirklich. Kathryn Scanlan hat viele lange Gespräche mit ihr geführt und daraus einen reduzierten, tief bewegenden Roman geformt, der auf faszinierende Weise die Essenz eines ganzen eindrucksvollen Lebens einfängt. 'Dieser Roman enthält alles: harte Arbeit, Gewalt, Leidenschaft und Freude. Scanlan schreibt über das gewöhnliche Leben auf außergewöhnliche Weise, indem sie es radikal verdichtet, so wie man Kohlenstoff zu Diamanten presst.' The New Yorker 'Der US-Amerikanerin Kathryn Scanlan ist mit ihrem Roman Boxenstart über das entbehrungsreiche Leben der Pferdetrainerin Sonia ein hinreißend poetisches Portrait der ruppigen Rennbahnwelt gelungen. Ein fulminanter Roman!' Maximilian Mengeringhaus, Deutschlandfunk

My dog loves the Multipet Skele toys!
Size: 15", Style: Duck
My dog absolutely loves this toy and the similar ones (we had a snowman first). He rolls around with it and seems to be so happy. My dog is an aggressive chewer- and he destroys these toys within a couple of months. We have to take pieces of it away as they come loose, especially the squeeker, but he still plays with the rest. I wish it would last longer because he really loves it, but I haven’t found a toy that he cant destroy yet.

Terrible!!!!
Size: 15", Style: Duck
My 2 Australian shepards destroyed this cheaply made toy in 20 minutes! It's advertised for tough chewers, lol, the material it was made from is so thin, you could almost see through it. Don't waste your time or money!

My dogs love it
Size: 15", Style: Rabbit
I have to say, this is not an indestructible toy. It would have been better made without the squeaker or filling in the head. Once I removed those (after the dogs dug them out) they have played with this and the chicken (by the same company) for months. It's looking a bit ragged and I had to eventually cut the face off since they had chewed into it. However, the ropes have held despite multiple games of tug-of-war. My rat terrier and Moxie mix love these toys. Best ones we've found to last.

Quality Toy
Size: 15", Style: Duck
Fun durable toy for tough chewers. Material is durable and long lasting, however can unravel with extended chewing or pulling. A favorite of our dogs. Easy to throw and toss in a game of fetch.

My grand furbaby loves this yellow duck!
Size: 15", Style: Duck
I bought this yellow duck as a gift for my grand furbaby about 2 years ago. It turned out to be his favorite toy and it lasted for quite some time. So, I have bought several of them and when I go to stay with him in the summer, I take him a brand new yellow duck. He carries it around with him and he loves it! Favorite toy!
