Download or read book Legendary Hearts of Horses written by Adrienne Neary and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary Hearts of Horses is the result of Adrienne Neary's collection and analysis of various information sources regarding the large heart gene. Her work began in the early 2000's, eventually turning into a manuscript, first published in 2020. In this book, Neary follows the equine large heart trail instigated by the famous American Thoroughbred, Secretariat. The revelation of a 'super heart' during his autopsy, set the horse industry afire. Following the equine pedigree history that other researchers identified as being the fountain spring of this marvelous trait, she leaps from breed constraints and boldly jumps into the vast pool of equine evolution and human ambition. Here, the large heart trait is clearly connected to 'Old World' horses, and even suggests that horses in the wild had been very creative and proactive about their own survival. Insightful and inspirational, this is a book that appeals to a wide audience. This well written book elucidates not only the physical heart, but the intangible qualities of heart that horses have demonstrated throughout history. Enhanced by historical references, expert science and a surprising, fortuitous discovery, this a thought provoking book for anyone interested in history, evolution, and of course, horses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the right team, miracles can happen. Even during a global pandemic. Welcome to the story of Mighty Heart, a one-eyed bay colt who captured the attention of horse racing fans all over the world when he won the 2020 Queen’s Plate, Canada’s iconic Thoroughbred race, at Woodbine racetrack. It is the comeback story of a horse whose outlook was bleak after his first few disappointing races, and got worse when the pandemic largely shut down horse racing. It is the comeback story of an owner, Larry Cordes, who had stepped away from racing after suffering a series of personal tragedies. Larry was always smitten with horses and racing, and became an owner when his late wife gave him a birthday gift of a racehorse. A leader in the heavy machine industry in Ontario, Larry’s love for horses became a warm and fulfilling family affair as his wife and daughters joined him in his fabulous obsessions. But the tight-knit group was rocked by the deaths of three family members that forever changed their perspectives on life and Larry, crestfallen, stepped away from his passion. Nine years later, he returned with renewed love for horse racing, and an idea to breed his own horse with the help of some of the finest minds in Ontario’s Thoroughbred industry. It is a heartwarming, comeback story—all because of a little horse that could. Run With a Mighty Heart is a refreshing, joyful read that is full of hope and wonder—showcasing that it truly takes a team to overcome the hurdles that we face in life. We are left cheering at the end.
