Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse Fair Gee up, old fellow! Now go on!" These words were spoken by a barefooted boy plowing corn in a lonely field; and they were addressed to the old farm-horse which he was driving. He was nearing the end of the last row that was to be plowed that day. "Gee up, Kiron! Go on a little farther. Oh, who ever saw so hot a day in June!" cried the lad, wiping his face with his sleeve. "Whoa, haw! Now, turn in under the shade of the maple, and we '11 rest a bit before we go home. Whoa!" Loosing the horse from the plow, and then leaving him to take care of himself, the boy threw himself face downward among the grass and blossoming clover that grew in the shade of the tree. It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and he would not be expected at the farmhouse until six. He would have an hour to himself, to rest and read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Stable and Saddle-Room So many books have been written on horses and stable management, that in commencing the present little work I feel that I am but about to traverse ground which has been 'over-trodden' - nay, 'churned up' - by those who have been in the field before me, and that the subject is already too well worn to admit of yet another treatise upon it being produced. I hope, however, that such may prove not to be the case, inasmuch as since it is indisputable that no two people entertain quite the same ideas on any subject, I may be able, I trust, to view the one at present before me, and treat the same, in a somewhat different manner to my predecessors. What has invariably struck me in perusing the many books on horses and their management which have been already before the public, is, as a rule, their want of simplicity. They appear to me to be rather mystifying than instructive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Thoroughbreds Classic Reprint written by William A. Fraser and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoroughbreds Less than a hundred miles from the city of Gotham, across broad green fields, dotted into squares and oblong valleys by full-leafed maple, and elm, and mulberry, was the village of Brookfield. A hundred years of expansion in the surrounding land had acted inversely with the little hamlet, and had pinched it into a hermitical isolation. The Brookfieldians had discovered a huge beetle in the amber of their serene existence; it was really the Reverend Dolman who had unearthed the monster. The beetle in the amber was horse racing, and the prime offender, practically the sole culprit, was John Porter. By an inconsistent twist of fate he was known as Honest John. His father before him had raced in old Kentucky to considerable purpose, and with the full vigor of a man who races for sport; and so to the son John, in consequence, had come little beyond a not-to-beeradicated love of thoroughbreds. To race squarely, honestly, and to the glory of high-couraged horses was to him as much a matter of religion as the consistent guardianship of parish morals was to the Reverend George Dolman. Therefore, two men of strong beliefs were set on opposite sides of the fence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The American Horsewoman Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Elizabeth Karr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Horsewoman Many valuable works relating to the subject could be had, but none especially for ladies. True, in many of these works prepared for equestrians a few pages of remarks or advice to horsewomen could be found, but so scant and limited were they that but little useful and practical information could be gleaned from them. The writers of these works never even dreamed of treating many very important points highly essential to the horsewoman; and, indeed, it could hardly be expected that they would, as it is almost impossible for any horseman to know, much less to comprehend, these points. The position of a man in the sad dle is natural and easy, while that of a woman is artificial, one-sided, and less readily acquired; that which he can accomplish with facility is for her impossible or extremely difficult, as her position lessens her command over the horse, and obliges her to depend almost entirely upon her skill and address for the means of control ling him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horses, Guns and Dogs If your parents can afford to keep horses, they can probably also afford to pay men to look after them, and therefore the whole Of your holidays need not be spent in the stable. You can, however, get a rudimentary idea of the way things should be done if you ask your father's head man to give you a little instruction - how to groom a pony, how to put a saddle and bridle on, &c., for there IS a knack in performing these operations. If you are born to wealth, you may not be obliged to saddle a horse more than two or three times in your life, but, when the occasion does come, you would like to be able to do it properly. Knowledge Of all kinds is always worth acquiring, and you can never tell when it will be useful. Take the head Of the bridle in the right hand, the bit in the palm of the left, then slip your thumb in the corner Of the horse's mouth, when you will find he will open it, and the thing is done. When you take your pony out yourself, you should make a practice of trying all four feet to see if any shoes are loose, and if there are any clinches up that he might possibly cut himself with. The clinches are the ends of the nails that have been hammered down, but which work up as the shoe wears thin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse and His Rider The writer of this little volume deems it only fair to forewarn his readers that he is not, and never has been, an inhabitant of that variegated region in creation commonly called "the sporting world." He has never bred, raced, steeple-chased, nor betted sixpence on any colt, filly, horse, or mare. He has never seen, nor been seen by, the Jockey-Club. He has never been on the turf. He does not belong to "the ring." Nevertheless, sometimes in the performance of public duties, - sometimes from private inclination, - sometimes for the benefit of his health, - sometimes for recreation, sometimes for rumination, - sometimes to risk his life, - and more than once to save it, he has, throughout a long and chequered career, had to do an amount of roughriding, a little larger than has fallen to the lot of many men. His observations and reflections on horses and horsemen he now ventures to submit to that portion only of the community who, like himself, preferring a long tether to a short one, take exercise on four legs, instead of on two.
