Download or read book Sixty Years of Jump Racing written by Robin Oakley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin Oakley brings alive the colourful world of those who ride and train jumping horses. With elegant production and gripping images, Sixty Years of Jump Racing chronicles the social and economic changes which have brought the sport's ups and downs-like the development of sponsorships and syndicate ownership, the near loss of the Grand National, the growing domination of the Cheltenham Festival and the growth of all-weather racing to meet the bookies' demands for betting shop fodder. Pace and colour is provided by stories of the horses who have been taken to the heart of racing crowds, like the Irish-trained hurdler Istabraq and Best Mate, the three-times winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup for England. Famous rivalries and memorable races are re-lived and key victories revisited in portraits of and interviews with the owners, jockeys and trainers who have dominated the sport. The emphasis will be largely on the past fifty years-from Arkle to Tony McCoy-but a significant introduction by Edward Gillespie encapsulates the past history of what was previously known as 'National Hunt Racing' and sets the stories in context.

Book excerpt: From the author of the New York Times–bestselling Guardians of Ga’hoole, a herd of horses surviving the wilds of the New World discovers an orphaned boy. For the filly Estrella, nothing is more precious than freedom. She was born at sea, aboard a ship of men sailing to the New World in search of gold. But Estrella and her herd escaped the conquerors and embarked on a journey across thousands of miles—braving harsh terrains and fierce predators—to a land where they can finally run wild. But now, an unforeseen danger threatens to destroy the pack. A boy with a special gift is lost in the wilderness, and only the horses can keep him alive. But to save the boy, the herd will risk galloping straight back into the hands—-and harnesses—of their captors. And so, it’s up to Estrella, the herd’s unlikely leader, to make a life-changing decision. Should the horses accept the orphan boy as one of their own? How do you choose between freedom and friendship? Praise for Horses of the Dawn: “As in works such as her Guardians of Ga’hoole series, Lasky uses animals to touch on very human issues.” —Kirkus Reviews “Lasky successfully fuses fantasy and fact as she gives her equine characters credible emotional depth and underscores the tensions and disparity between Old and New World sensibilities. It’s a haunting story of loss, self-discovery, survival, and homecoming.” —Publishers Weekly

I noticed an entertainment event that is in desperate in need of being established, developed , A major event in order for Buggy’s to be Raced around a Farm. With tracks outlined. I saw this a an Idea at first. Then I began to explore the idea a bit more. This Race is definitely needed for it's entertainment value. Buggy's need to be raced apart from being the major transport. They are the major transport function I understood this. They do have other purposes. Entertainment is my idea for one. Who can drive a buggy. Mainly Men in the Race. It not uncommon to see a woman driving a Buggy in the Race. Amish men, and woman are social people they need to get together, and they believe there system works for them. They are Farmers, and produce food from their Farms. They are business owners and have expanded out into services business. There is a big demand for Amish Food grown on the farms. What is known is that during the pandemic the demand for Amish food was enormous. Given that the Amish are America's oldest Amish settlement, where 350.000 still live a lifestyle based on a set of rules or Ordenem. There belief system has intrigues me. Government, Educational, Health systems. They do not seem interested in and stay away from the process . They have independent systems work in harmony for them. There own schools. They do not take social security. They pay for there own medical. Social services, and Education. They save there money I am told.The idea of a Buggy race is not Just a plane old Race of Buggy’s. Based on my Journey through Pennsylvania Lancaster County. My imagination got really wound up with the Buggy Race idea. This is my fictional story is about a major Buggy Race. It has an action packed performance held once a year on a make shift Farm. The Farm is stations with tracks that are circular around a large Farm building. The Race of buggy's has to circumvent the Farm building 7 times. The distance is half a miles or 1k. It is my understanding the rewards are impressive. There is some serious money allocated to the buggy Race for the winner of the Race. Prize money is quite large. There is a big rummage Garage sale prior to the Buggy race. This Large rummage Garage Sale raises Funds in large amount $$ for the winner of the Buggy Race. That $$ amount is never disclosed as it is a secret among the Elders of the church. My story begins with an Amish man from Germany in the Town of Bremen North of Germany. His Name is Michael. G, and he is the son of a Farmer. Called Jacob. His brother, Willis has requested help from his family in Germany, and has asked Willis to send his Son to Pennsylvania Lancaster County to work on the Farm as he has special skills that are desperately needed. Michael G knows about Horses, Farming, Planting, Cows, Dogs, Carpentry, Buggy racing. The Elders from the church in Pennsylvania Lancaster County find out a man is coming to Ellis farms, and they would like to meet him. He is single. They have a woman in the Amish church with two children who's husband has died of a hart attack. Long hours and overworked was my guess. 12 hours days. Maybe. They want to see if he would be interested. There is plenty of rooms at the Jacob farm as it has a large farm house. However, there is another woman close by on the next farm who has been looking around for a man. Amish woman are very particular when come to a man. They need to meet a criteria only know to them. In the Pennsylvania town of Lancaster County a Major buggy Race has a special significance in terms of who will win the Race. It not only about a Race. There are strange things happening in the background that outsiders may not know. Religion, Farming, Relationships, Business dealings. The list goes on. The Amish system. The rules. The lifestyle. Church attending. House building, No smart phone only flip phones. No mains power. Solar and batteries seems to be the way there going.
