Download or read book Centered Riding written by Sally Swift and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1985-01-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely known for her innovative teaching philosophy stressing body awareness, the value of "soft eyes," proper breathing, centering, and balance, Sally Swift has been a pioneering riding instructor for half a century. In book form for the first time, her methods enable horse and rider to achieve harmony, working together naturally, without pain. Unlike traditional teachers, Sally Swift does not believe in forced training techniques that cause stiff bodies and tense riding. Instead, through the use of vivid, unusual, and highly creative images that transcend mechanics ("Pretend you're a spruce tree; the roots grow down from your center as the trunk grows up"), plus a thorough knowledge of human and equine anatomy, this wise and inspiring teacher enables the conscientious equestrian to reassess habitual responses, in order to ride in natural positions, break through frustrating plateaus, and achieve ever-rising goals with comfort, vitality, and precision. Precise illustrations and photographs never before used in riding books explain anatomy and image work to give mind and body new and relaxed approaches to the inner process of riding. Centered Riding is for those with little experience all the way up to world class.

Download or read book Ride a Dark Horse written by Laura Moore and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-05-23 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the sweeping landscape of Virginia horse country, this breathtaking story of love in the wake of tragedy marks the debut of an exciting voice in romantic fiction. Cassie Miller was on track to be one of the best equestrian riders of the sport when a terrible accident left her as the guardian of an orphaned niece and nephew. Seeking means to support the twins -- now five years old -- Cassie takes a job as a horse trainer at the prestigious Five Oaks farm where she finds not one, but two worthy adversaries -- Orion, a bold, dark horse that has yet to find a rider it deems its equal, and local veterinarian Caleb Wells, a man whose startling good looks and quick wit leave Cassie unnerved. As Cassie trains Orion for competition, Caleb, a partner in the farm, watches over their progress. A womanizer since his recent divorce, he soon finds his heart softening for this strong and gifted woman -- and for her unconventional family. But as Orion's Hampton Classic competition looms, Caleb's vengeful ex-wife threatens to ruin everything Cassie and Caleb have worked for... Reminiscent of the early classics in romantic fiction, Ride A Dark Horse is a winning tale of the bittersweet glories of life and the transformative power of love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buying a Horse My friend walked home encouraged-s his purpose of buying a horse had not seemed so monstrous, at least to this hardened offender. He now began to an nounce it more boldly; he said right and left that he wished to buy a horse, but that he would not go above a hundred. This was not true, but he wished to act prudently, and to pay a hundred and twenty-five only in extremity. He car ried the professor's note to the Chevaliers', who duly honored it, understood at once what my friend wanted, \and said they would look out for him. They were sorry he had not happened in a little sooner, they had just sold the very horse he wanted. I may as well say here that they were not able to find him a horse, but that they used him with the strictest honor, and that short of supplying his want they were perfect.

Download or read book Thirty Years With the Horse Classic Reprint written by Samuel P. Stickney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty Years With the Horse The following instance may serve as a guide for taming all obstinate or vicious horses. It shows the superiority of moral suasion over cruel, brute force. A gentleman having bought an apparently untameable but splendid horse and declared his resolve to conquer or die, led him from his stable in the presence of an excited crowd, put a saddle on him, buckled it with uncommon tightness, and after trying the stirrups, to see that all was sound and right, with a single bound was in his saddle. Now commenced a scene of rearing, and springing, and pitching unlike anything ever before witnessed. In retaliation, the rider commenced using the cow-hide freely over the rump, about the sides and legs of the animal, and at length over his head, eyes, ears and mouth. It was evidently a battle between two equally determined, but unequally powerful opponents - a trial of animal strength - an exhibition of dexterity - ou the part of the animal, to throw off the disagreeable load; on the part of the disagreeable load - the man - to conquer, to subdue, to main tain his position. But the horse, being the stouter of the two, was the victor, and would have thrown his load a rod at least from his back, but for the rider's foot having caught in the stir rup; and in that plight, the horse would soon have kicked his brains out, if he had any, but for the interference and assistance of the by-standers, who soon liberated the prisoner from his critical position.

Download or read book The Horse and His Rider written by Sir Francis Bond Head and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-25 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In almost every region of the globe, not only on its surface, but at different depths beneath it, the history of the horse is recorded. "Fossil remains," says Colonel Hamilton Smith in the twelfth volume of the Naturalist's Library, "of the horse have been found in nearly every part of the world. His teeth lie in the Polar ice along with the bones of the Siberian mammoth; in the Himalaya mountains with lost, and but recently obtained, genera; in the caverns of Ireland; and, in one instance, from Barbary, completely fossilized. His bones, accompanied by those of the elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, and hyæna, rest by thousands in the caves in Constadt; in Sevion at Argenteuil with those of the mastodon; in Val d'Arno and on the borders of the Rhine with colossal urus." But what is most deserving of attention is that while all the other genera and species, found under the same conditions, have either ceased to exist, or have removed to higher temperatures, the horse alone has remained to the present time in the same regions, without, it would appear, any protracted interruption; fragments of his skeleton continuing to be traced upwards, in successive formations, to the present surface of the earth--the land we live in. In like manner in history, sacred, profane, and modern, the horse is to be found omnipresent, sharing in the conquests, in the defeats, in the prosperity, in the adversity, in the joys, in the sorrows, in the occupations, and in the amusements of man. In Genesis xlvii. 17, Moses records that the Egyptians (1729 years before Christ), at a time when the famine was sore in the land of Canaan, gave to Joseph their horses in exchange for bread.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonder-Book of Horses The old charioteer always slept soundly in the morning, and seldom awoke until he heard his young sister, the maiden whom men call Aurora, rapping at the door of his bedroom, and making her voice echo through the halls of the Dawn. Up, up, brother Helios! She would cry. It is time for you to begin your journey again. Up, and delight the world once more with your shin ing morning face and your life-giving presence! Then Helios would hasten to the meadows where his steeds were feeding, and would call them each by name: Come hither, beautiful creatures! Hasten, for Aurora calleth. E65, thou glowing one! Ethon, thou of the burning name! Bronte, thou thunderer! Sterope, thou swifter than light ning! Come quickly!

Download or read book The Horse for Work Or Pleasure written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse for Work or Pleasure: With Chapters on Feeding, Management, Diseases, and Accidents The increasing interest manifested in the breeding and rearing of live stock and in the other branches of farming has induced the publishers to prepare a number of cheap volumes, under the title of "Vinton's Country Series," which are intended to afford elementary information on the various subjects dealt with. These, it is hoped, will be found useful to those who have not studied the subjects in more exhaustive treatises, and will lead them to seek for further guidance and instruction in such works as "Morton's Handbooks of the Farm," and the "Live Stock Handbooks," also issued by them, and in which fuller information can be obtained. On small holdings as well as on larger farms a more diversified system is now necessary, crops and live stock having to be carefully managed if the enterprise is to result in profit. It is therefore essential that the best practice should be studied, and in these little books the various breeds of stock are described and their character and capabilities indicated, while brief hints on management are given. The present series deals with horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, and volumes also treating of dogs, poultry-keeping, bee-keeping, and many other rural topics, such as butter and cheese-making, market-gardening, etc., will be taken up in turn.
