Download or read book The Backyard Horseman written by Ron Rude and published by Mountain Press Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than two million Americans own horses, and the horse industry pumps $39 billion into the United States economy each year. But contrary to stereotypes, most horse owners are not rich. They are everyday, hardworking people with a few acres and a love of horses. In The Backyard Horseman, second edition, author and horseman Ron Rude provides those people with a down-to-earth guide to raising and caring for horses on a limited budget. Completely updated for the modern horse owner, The Backyard Horseman dispels romantic myths and replaces them with something far more valuable: honest, practical advice. As veterinarian Robert M. Miller writes in the foreword, "Neglect a motorcycle or car and it doesn't suffer. But a horse is a living creature, capable of feeling hunger, thirst, and pain, and even loneliness. It is imperative that those of us who handle horses be well informed, no matter how casually we use them. That is the purpose of this book." The Backyard Horseman covers topics such as buying, feeding, and training, as well as health, gear, shelter, pasture management, shows and events, and the tough ethical dilemmas owners face when horses grow old. But The Backyard Horseman is more than just a guide. It is also provides a philosophy that, with planning, study, and practice, leads to a solid foundation of true horsemanship.
Download or read book The Compassionate Equestrian written by Allen Schoen and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2015-08-17 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This marvelous book, borne of a unique collaboration between Dr. Allen Schoen—a world-renowned veterinarian and author—and trainer and competitor of many years Susan Gordon, introduces the 25 Principles of Compassionate Equitation. These Principles, conceived by Dr. Schoen and Gordon, are a set of developmental guidelines, encouraging a level of personal awareness that may be enacted not only through the reader's engagement with horses, but can be extended to all humans and sentient beings he or she encounters. The 25 Principles share stories and outline current, peer-reviewed studies that identify and support methods of training, handling, and caring for horses that constitute a safe, healthy, non-stressful, and pain-free environment. Through their Compassionate Equestrian program, the authors encourage all involved in the horse industry to approach training and handling with compassion and a willingness to alleviate suffering. By developing deeper compassion for their own horses, and subsequently, all equines, equestrians transcend their differences in breed preferences, riding disciplines, and training methodologies. This leads to the ability to empathize and connect more closely with the “global collective” of horses and horse people. In doing so, a worldwide community of compassionate equine practitioners and horse owners will emerge, which will not only benefit the horses: People involved with horses are found in many influential segments of society and have the potential to affect wide circles of friends, acquaintances, and co-workers from every walk of life. These are simple changes any horse person can make that can have a vast impact on the horse industry and society as a whole.
