Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name "Turkoman horse" is used to describe a specific breed of horse that was first developed in what was formerly the Central Asian country of Turkmenistan. Turkoman horses are renowned for their superior attributes and have inspired the creation of many other sorts of horse breeds and varieties across the Middle East and Asia. Some of the most distinguishing features of Turkoman horses are: - Turkoman horses have a reputation for being exceptionally beautiful. They usually have an elegant head, a graceful neck, and an athletic build. - These horses are bred for speed and endurance, and their reputations precede them. They've been used for lengthy rides, races, and even in the cavalry before. - Because of their intelligence and responsiveness, Turkoman horses can be trained for a variety of equestrian sports. - Coat Quality: Their coat quality is typically good and comes in a variety of hues like gray, bay, and chestnut. This covering protects them from the scorching heat of their native deserts. - High Tail Carriage: Turkoman horses are recognized for their high tail carriage, which gives them a distinctive and royal aspect. - The Turkoman horse has played a crucial part in the evolution of other horse breeds, including the Arabian horse and the Akhal-Teke. Because of their strength and resilience in the desert, these horses were highly prized for use in battle. It's worth noting that the term "Turkoman horse" is used to refer to a variety of horse types and breeds native to the Turkmenistan region rather than a single, standardized modern breed. The Turkomans have a long history with horses, and one particular breed, the Akhal-Teke, is commonly identified with this tradition due to its metallic shine and hardiness. Due to interbreeding with various horse breeds, pure Turkoman horses have become increasingly rare over time. However, the Akhal-Teke in particular has been the focus of conservation and marketing efforts to ensure its continued existence as a unique breed with a rich history.

Download or read book The Horse in the Ancient World written by Carolyn Willekes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The domestication of the horse in the fourth millennium BC altered the course of mankind's future. Formerly a source only of meat, horses now became the prime mode of fast transport as well as a versatile weapon of war. Carolyn Willekes traces the early history of the horse through a combination of equine iconography, literary representations, fieldwork and archaeological theory. She explores the ways in which horses were used in the ancient world, whether in regular cavalry formations, harnessed to chariots, as a means of reconnaissance, in swift and deadly skirmishing (such as by Scythian archers) or as the key mode of mobility. Establishing a regional typology of ancient horses - Mediterranean, Central Asian and Near Eastern - the author discerns within these categories several distinct sub-types. Explaining how the physical characteristics of each type influenced its use on the battlefield - through grand strategy, singular tactics and general deployment - she focuses on Egypt, Persia and the Hittites, as well as Greece and Rome. This is the most comprehensive treatment yet written of the horse in antiquity.

Book excerpt: * Winner of Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Historical Sequel * Nominated for RWA’s Golden Choice Award for Best Romance of the year The Desert Flower At seventeen, fiery Juliet Cameron fell passionately in love and married the perfect companion for the adventurous life she wanted to lead. Lord Ross Carlisle is handsome, dashing, and as eager to explore the world as she is. But social constraints and fear of an all consuming love that threatens to engulf her independent spirit send Juliet fleeing to the distant land where she was raised as a diplomat’s child. Now, a dozen years later, a gentleman’s promise sends Lord Ross on a dangerous rescue mission to Central Asia—and to a shocking reunion with his long estranged wife. Warily they join forces to cross the merciless desert to Bokhara, where Juliet’s army officer brother has been imprisoned. The fierce attraction that drew them together so many years before has never died. But if they succumb to passion, can either of them survive if they cannot heal their broken marriage? "Silk and Secrets fulfills every dream of your heart, every yearning of your soul, as a pair of memorable lovers find their way back to each other's arms . . . This remarkable novel of high adventure and unquenchable love is a stunning reading experience, one you will remember and cherish forever." —Romantic Times "Sheer brilliance. Silk and Secrets' historical vibrancy and vitality bring to mind Dorothy Dunnett with a dash of Indiana Jones... Ms. Putney's descriptions convey both the romanticism and the harshness of the dunes and their nomads. Traveling with a desert caravan, Ross and Juliet talk and fight and laugh, sometimes as the only way out of a tight spot, and I loved every word of it. I also loved Ross, a Lawrence of Arabia (oh heavens, Peter O'Toole) sans homosexuality crossed with Francis Crawford sans self-destructiveness - a true gentleman, and super, super hot. And Juliet was such a vital, complex woman - proud but not blinkered, hot-tempered but not TSTL, and humorous to boot—that damned if I didn't wish she were a) my friend, b) running for president...." —Desert Island Keeper The Silk Trilogy: Book #1: Silk and Shadows Book #2: Silk and Secrets Book #3: Veils of Silk

Download or read book Suba of Kabul Under the Mughals 1585 1739 written by Farah Abidin and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kabul was an extremely important part of Mughal India. It was situated at the centre of a vibrant inter-Asian trading network. Kabul derived considerable resources from trade and commerce. Kabul, from the time of its annexation by Akbar in 1585, remained a part of Mughal India till 1739, when it was seized by Nadir Shah. Kabul also had a strategic significance, and control of Kabul was viewed by the Mughals as indispensable for the stability of their empire in India. Despite the economic and strategic significance of Kabul in Mughal India, it has not received adequate attention by historians, compared to the detailed studies we have of some other important provinces in Mughal India. This work provides a more or less comprehensive account of the suba of Kabul in the Mughal period (1585-1739) within the Mughal framework, as part of the history of Mughal India.

Book excerpt: The story of the famous Australian Waler horses is one that records with pride the remarkable journey this original stock horse made from a domestic animal to a war horse without equal. The Boer War and WWI saw thousands shipped overseas and only the advent of mechanization in 1940 saw the horse decline from military use. This book does not only sing its praises, but tracks its worldwide reputation as a horse without equal. You will read about the logistics involved and answers to questions such as the huge problems associated with the horse lines where hundreds of horses were picketed row after row in Egypt and in France; of the heavy horses that pulled the gun carriages and hauled ammunition and stores. So often forgotten, yet their contribution was vast. Yes, they were the Walers. • Who supplied the saddlery? • What happened to the refuse? • Who looked after injured and sick horses? • Where did the fodder come from? All this and much more as today’s heritage horse owners tell their stories. This is a book you won’t be able to put down and in the reading, you will gain not only a great compassion for this brave horse, but you too will want to help preserve and protect the less than 1% of the descendants who exist in Australia today.
