This book was released on 1902 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange as it may seem, there never has been a book published in America on the subject of cross country riding to hounds. Having moved into a hunting country without previous knowledge of the sport, the author undertook to follow the hounds after witnessing a run from a friend's carriage. To his chagrin, he discovered how much he had been against the unwritten laws of the hunting field, and he determined to place in the hands of similar uninitiated ones something in the nature of a guide. This work is therefore intended to give the novice an insight into the game from the point of view both of hunting and of riding, so that he may obtain from the sport a full measure of the delights it has to offer. The author has had considerable experience in breeding, rearing, and schooling hunters and has been fortunate in bringing to this work quite extensive observations of many different packs of hounds in European countries, as well as in the United States and Canada. His chief aim is to encourage this most noble sport for sport's sake, to contrast the genuine sportsman with the artificial, and to pay to that noblest of animals, the horse, and especially the "hunter," a debt of gratitude for many a glorious hour in his company.

Next to a cross country ride itself, comes the pleasure of living it over again with whoever has the ear for hearing it, and an imagination keen enough to supply what neither pen nor pencil is able to produce. There seems to be born in every man a taste for country life and in most men a love for the chase. We probably inherit our longing for the fields from our mother Eve, whose desire to return to the garden must have been very great, so great in fact, that the world will never stand long enough to see it eradicated from the system of her descendants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cross-Country Techniques Illustrated Cross-country running goes as far back in the history of the human race as almost any activity we know. We can visualize the cave man run ning over the hills and plains in search of food or to safety from preying enemies. Mobility of ancient armies originally depended upon their ability to run with their weapons, and the first competition over hills and dales no doubt took place on an informal basis between the cave men or the ancient soldiers. The resourceful English were the first to place the sport of long distance running across the country on a highly competitive basis. In fact, the now famous crick run of Tom Brown's School Day: was first recorded as taking place about 1837. It is interesting to note that in England the first teams were fielded by the colleges, but they soon lost interest. Athletic clubs took over and pushed the sport to its current European popularity. In America, just the opposite took place. The clubs, such as the West chester Hares and Hounds Club and the New York American Athletic Harriers, were running over the hills in the 1870's. A Short time later, hundreds of clubs sprang up throughout the east on a recreational hares and hounds basis. While club athletes were enthusiastic about cross country running, the Officials who controlled the purse strings were not. Due to a lack of finances, club cross -country running began to disappear.

Download or read book Still Horse Crazy After All These Years written by James Wofford and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2021-06-16 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare insider’s look at the life of a professional sportsman as he tries to reconcile the passion that drives him with livelihood, family, and aging. Three-time Olympian Jim Wofford grew up with horses, beginning with his childhood on a Kansas farm in the forties. The son of an Olympic show jumper, Wofford and his siblings all found themselves pursuing a “riding life”—one of reward and growth, of challenge and disappointment, but mostly of learning to understand and work with a complex animal as an athletic partner and friend. Over the years Wofford developed as an international competitor, successful coach, and sought-after commentator. Known for his wit, irreverence, and whip-smart observations on the sport and its participants, as well as the state of the “outside” world, his magazine columns were soon as legendary as his performances in the saddle. Now Wofford brings his immense talent for telling tales—all of them (mostly) true—to the page in a lively and absorbing look back through time spent in and out of the saddle. With lessons in horsemanship both simple and profound interwoven with fascinating stories from his many diverse adventures around the world, readers enjoy a peek inside the wild ride that can be the life of an international equestrian while pondering weighty questions, such as how to make decisions for the good of the horse and how to find a soulful connection with him. Although these questions may never be fully answered, readers discover something about themselves as they see how philosophical investigation contributed to Wofford’s own evolution over time. An honest, funny, poignant read certain to entertain and educate every horse person.
