Download or read book The Life of a Racehorse written by John Mills and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of a Racehorse is a fictional biography detailing the life of a British racehorse from the horse's point of view. This book was republished by Cosimo in 2015 in honor of American race horsing, which got a shot in the arms when American Pharaoh became the first horse to win the "Grand Slam" of American horse racing (the Triple Crown, for the first time since 1978, and the Breeders' Cup Classic.) In this book, the horse, Sheet Anchor, narrates his life, from his time as a colt, through his training and racing days, to his sale as a stud from Tattersall's and his retirement. The story is revealed through Sheet Anchor's experiences and the dialogue of the humans he interacts with, including trainers, grooms, jockeys, and his master, Sir Digby. The Life of a Racehorse was highlighted in a 2015 New York Times article bringing attention to the use of the riding crop; it was cited as one of the only references to how horses might feel about its use. As such, horse lovers and race enthusiasts alike can look to this book for better insight into how horse racing has developed over the ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Race Horse Yesterday the old dog went out; but he did not come back again. I wonder why! And this morning when I went out to play in the paddock that adjoins my stall I noticed a little mound of fresh-turned earth over in the corner. It got me thinking. You see, he was a pretty old dog as dogs went; older than most of them, because day before yesterday he had seen sixteen winters and summers. And, though in the life of a man this would not amount to so much, it is more than the allotted span for a dog. Happy was an English setter; and when I look back it seems only yesterday since he was a little round white cotton ball, always getting in the way of my hoofs or trying to climb up my hind leg and tie my tail into a bow-knot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horse-Racing in France: A History Circumstances rather than natural aptitude, taste, inclination, or deliberate design have made me for more than twenty years a close student of horse-racing, both English and French. Into those circumstances there is no occasion to enter, and I have not the slightest intention of being gratuitously tedious. Suffice it to say that my first experience of horse-racing carries me back more than forty years to a day of which I have still a vivid remembrance, when I saw an animal belonging to the famous Colonel (afterwards General) Peel run at a provincial race meeting; and that I believe I can still from mere memory give that animal's name (although it achieved no great celebrity) - 'I-am-not-aware.' Since then I have witnessed a great many of the most memorable races ever run, and have had at least a bowing acquaintance with some of the most notable race horses, English, French, Austro-Hungarian, German, American, and others, that ever came to the post.

This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 794 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Care, Treatment, and Training of the English Race Horse, Vol. 1 of 2: In a Series of Rough Notes It may appear strange to my readers, and I confess it has appeared so to me, that, among the numerous works which, from time to time, have issued from the press, on the nature and general treatment of Horses, no treatise should have been given on the training of the English Race-horse. Such an omission, I am convinced, could not have arisen from an unbelief in the importance attached to the subject; it may, I think, be rather attributed to a conscious deficiency in practical knowledge among authors, who, in other respects, might be competent to the task. The training of race-horses at the establishments at Newmarket, and at various other well-conducted race-horse stables, has long since been ranked as a science, and it may, perhaps, be said to have attained perfection. Yet the public are comparatively unacquainted with the manner in which that noble animal, the race-horse, is brought into the admirable condition in which he is exhibited at the post.

Download or read book The Racehorse in Training written by Associate Professor of Philosophy William Day and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Racehorse in Training: With Hints on Racing and Racing Reforms; To Which Is Added a Chapter on Shoeing In bringing before the public a work that has for its specific subject the training of the racehorse, and incidentally offers some observations on turf matters generally, the author feels the need of its indulgence. The experience gathered as the result of thirty years unwearied labour in the management of a large racing-stud, is, he feels, the best apology he can put forward for the attempt to write comprehensively on matters never before so treated by a trainer. In order to inform, to please, and to encourage the student, a thorough knowledge of the subject must be supplemented by facts clearly stated, and by arguments based on experiences that have stood the test of time. It is perhaps too common to represent technical or professional matters as full of mystery to the unlearned. Such a pretence would be out of place here. Our subject is one easy of comprehension, and it is the intention and desire of the writer to apply to it the simple treatment of which it is susceptible; to set forth practical knowledge and important and ascertained truths deduced from daily observation in a manner intelligible to the ordinary reader.

The trial is severe, and there is neither fashion nor fancy in the result. This it is that gives to the English thoroughbred horse a value for racing pur poses unequalled - and looked for in vain - among auv other species of animal in creation, and I venture to hope that the racing authorities in Australia will fol low the example of England and make the Derby the greatest and most valuable race in Australia.
