Download or read book Unbranded written by Ben Masters and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an epic 3,000-mile journey through the most pristine backcountry of the American West, four friends rode horseback across an almost contiguous stretch of unspoiled public lands, border to border, from Mexico to Canada. For their trail horses, they adopted wild mustangs from the US Bureau of Land Management that were perfectly adapted to the rocky terrain and harsh conditions of desert and mountain travel. A meticulously planned but sometimes unpredictable route brought them face to face with snowpack, downpours, and wildfire; unrelenting heat, raging rivers, and sheer cliffs; jumping cactus, rattlesnakes, and charging bull moose; sickness, injury, and death. But they also experienced a special camaraderie with each other and with the mustangs. Through it all, they had a constant traveling companion—a cameraman, shooting for the documentary film Unbranded. The trip’s inspiration and architect, Ben Masters, is joined here by the three other riders, Ben Thamer, Thomas Glover, and Jonny Fitzsimons; two memorable teachers and horse trainers; and the film’s producers and intrepid cameramen in the telling of this improbable story of adventure and self-discovery.

Download or read book All About the Mustang Horse written by Carolyn Edmonds and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mustang, a feral horse breed from the Western United States, traces its ancestry to equines introduced to the Americas by Spanish explorers. These horses, molded by the rugged terrains of the western frontier, have become an emblematic breed, symbolizing the resilience required to thrive in challenging environments. Today, free-roaming Mustangs on public lands are overseen by the Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse and Burro Program. Yet, these horses are also embraced, adopted, and selectively bred in private domestic settings. Distinct strains of Mustangs exist, such as the Kiger Mustang and the Spanish Mustang, which proudly bear the bloodlines of the original Spanish settlers' horses. Despite debates surrounding the methods used to control free-roaming herds, Mustangs remain a treasured emblem of the American West. Many adopted Mustangs transition to successful riding careers with appropriate care and training.

Download or read book The Absolute Horse Care Manual written by Dr John Tyler and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding and patience that you require for having the pony as a pet is not the end of caring about horses. Undivided heed and understanding the nature of the animal to provide it with its natural herd environment is the call of the hour to raise your animal properly. To the horse, the instinct is always instant action because for them action is survival. In a herd, the horses regularly take turns sleeping and warn the group during a predator attack where they take flight.From the very first day in the life of a foal, it starts with its learning journey imbibing all the qualities from its immediate environment. Very extensive knowledge about the animal is required to give it proper growth and development. Maintaining a subdued profile around the animal is essential. As it is in the wild, their survival depends on the early detection of that approaching predator the horses simply do not like undue attention and unnecessary blare. It is quite common that the mount can get disturbed by any unnecessary blast and cause injury to the people around it. A reassuring quiet voice is required while talking to your horse.While keeping a horse as a pet one should always remember that the animal will normally not relate to a human being but as is the case with most domestic animals an alliance often a very strong bond grows between the animal and its alternate provider given there is trust, fondness for compliance and a crave to desire and obey.
Download or read book The Horse written by Wendy Williams and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller and New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A Best Book of 2015, The Wall Street Journal "Love is the driver for Wendy Williams's new book, The Horse . . . [an] affectionate, thoroughgoing, good-hearted book." —Jaimy Gordon, The New York Times Book Review "Charming and deeply interesting . . . Ms. Williams does a marvelous job." —Pat Shipman, The Wall Street Journal The book horse-lovers have been waiting for Horses have a story to tell, one of resilience, sociability, and intelligence, and of partnership with human beings. In The Horse, the journalist and equestrienne Wendy Williams brings that story brilliantly to life. Williams chronicles the 56-million-year journey of horses as she visits with experts around the world, exploring what our biological affinities and differences can tell us about the bond between horses and humans, and what our longtime companion might think and feel. Indeed, recent scientific breakthroughs regarding the social and cognitive capacities of the horse and its ability to adapt to changing ecosystems indicate that this animal is a major evolutionary triumph. Williams charts the course that leads to our modern Equus-from the protohorse to the Dutch Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, and cow ponies of the twenty-first century. She observes magnificent ancient cave art in France and Spain that signals a deep respect and admiration for horses well before they were domesticated; visits the mountains of Wyoming with experts in equine behavior to understand the dynamics of free-roaming mustangs; witnesses the fluid gracefulness of the famous Lipizzans of Vienna; contemplates what life is like for the sure-footed, mustachioed Garrano horses who thrive on the rugged terrain of Galicia; meets a family devoted to rehabilitating abandoned mustangs on their New Hampshire farm; celebrates the Takhi horses of Mongolia; and more. She blends profound scientific insights with remarkable stories to create a unique biography of the horse as a sentient being with a fascinating past and a finely nuanced mind. The Horse is a revealing account of the animal who has been at our side through the ages, befriending us and traveling with us over the mountains and across the plains. Enriched by Williams's own experience with horses, The Horse is a masterful work of narrative nonfiction that pays tribute to this treasure of the natural world.
