Download or read book The Horse written by Wendy Williams and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller and New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A Best Book of 2015, The Wall Street Journal "Love is the driver for Wendy Williams's new book, The Horse . . . [an] affectionate, thoroughgoing, good-hearted book." —Jaimy Gordon, The New York Times Book Review "Charming and deeply interesting . . . Ms. Williams does a marvelous job." —Pat Shipman, The Wall Street Journal The book horse-lovers have been waiting for Horses have a story to tell, one of resilience, sociability, and intelligence, and of partnership with human beings. In The Horse, the journalist and equestrienne Wendy Williams brings that story brilliantly to life. Williams chronicles the 56-million-year journey of horses as she visits with experts around the world, exploring what our biological affinities and differences can tell us about the bond between horses and humans, and what our longtime companion might think and feel. Indeed, recent scientific breakthroughs regarding the social and cognitive capacities of the horse and its ability to adapt to changing ecosystems indicate that this animal is a major evolutionary triumph. Williams charts the course that leads to our modern Equus-from the protohorse to the Dutch Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, and cow ponies of the twenty-first century. She observes magnificent ancient cave art in France and Spain that signals a deep respect and admiration for horses well before they were domesticated; visits the mountains of Wyoming with experts in equine behavior to understand the dynamics of free-roaming mustangs; witnesses the fluid gracefulness of the famous Lipizzans of Vienna; contemplates what life is like for the sure-footed, mustachioed Garrano horses who thrive on the rugged terrain of Galicia; meets a family devoted to rehabilitating abandoned mustangs on their New Hampshire farm; celebrates the Takhi horses of Mongolia; and more. She blends profound scientific insights with remarkable stories to create a unique biography of the horse as a sentient being with a fascinating past and a finely nuanced mind. The Horse is a revealing account of the animal who has been at our side through the ages, befriending us and traveling with us over the mountains and across the plains. Enriched by Williams's own experience with horses, The Horse is a masterful work of narrative nonfiction that pays tribute to this treasure of the natural world.
Download or read book Herdmates to Heartmates The Art of Bonding with a New Horse written by Bonnie Ebsen Jackson and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone who has ever imagined owning a horse has experienced an "equestrian dream" of their own. They have pictured finding the perfect, beautiful animal, who would become their partner, anticipating their every request, enabling their rider to approach centaur status. However, what many people discover once they have selected and brought a horse home is that they are a long way from understanding what makes their new horse tick, let alone being able to form the kind of bond that would lead to a safe and enjoyable riding experience. In the words of foundational horseman Ray Hunt, “Horses don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” In other words, you could have an encyclopedic knowledge of horses, but until you spend enough time in front of the horse you now own, you’ll never learn the important aspects of forming a good bond. These include understanding a horse’s hierarchy of needs, being able to read your horse’s temperament and spirit level, and being prepared to match your horse’s energy in order to convince them of your leadership skills. Chapters deal with recognizing and working with horse’s thresholds--situations where a horse’s warning system is overloaded and he is feeling the need to respond with a fight or flight response—-as well as explaining how a horse’s physical health and a rider’s confidence can all play a role in developing a horse-human bond. Author Jackson explains that the quickest way to draw a horse closer is to present yourself as the “beneficent and omnipotent source of supply,” or the B.O.S.S., which needn’t lead to bullying or abusive behavior. The horse owner simply needs to be seen as the-one-with-the-good-ideas. Since horses are born followers, who rely on a savvy leader for survival in the wild, they are biologically wired to go looking for this kind of leadership, especially when they feel threatened in a strange new environment. Convincing a horse that you can keep them safe—that you’ve “got their back” is a major key to helping them to trust in your leadership. The author uses examples of mistakes she’s made along the way to developing bonds with her own horses in hopes that readers will learn to avoid common traps and pitfalls. Strangely, learning a more natural and horse-centered way of being with an equine can have the added benefit of developing good people leadership skills, along with a greater understanding and appreciation of all species.

Book excerpt: From the author of the #1 bestseller The Man Who Listens to Horses, a book for all of us seeking to strengthen our human relationships "Monty Roberts will make you marvel."—The New York Times Book Review In The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts revealed the depth of communication possible between human and horse. Touching the hearts of more than four million readers worldwide, that memoir—which spent more than a year at the top of The New York Times bestseller list—described his discovery of the "language" of horses and the dramatic effectiveness of removing violence from their training. Now, the world's most famous horse gentler demonstrates how his revolutionary Join-Up technique can be used not just for horses, but as a model for how to strengthen human relationships. With vivid, often deeply moving anecdotes, Roberts shows how the lessons learned from the thousands of horses he has known can provide effective guidelines for improving the quality of our communication with one another—from learning to "read" each other effectively, to creative fear-free environments, and, most importantly, teaching belief in the power of gentleness and trust.

Download or read book The Psychology of the Human Animal Bond written by Christopher Blazina and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been dramatic increases in the financial, emotional, and psychological investment in pets over the past four decades. The increasing importance of animal companions in people's lives has resulted in growing emphasis on the human-animal bond within academic literature. This book introduces practicing and emerging professionals to vital subject matter concerning this growing specialty area by providing an essential framework and information through which to consider the unique contextual backdrop of the human-animal bond. Such contexts include a wide array of themes including: issues of attachment and loss, success and frustration with making and sustaining connections, world views regarding animal ethics, familial history of neglect or abuse, and cultural dynamics that speak to the order of things between mankind and nature. Adopting a contextual stance will aid mental health professionals in appreciating why and how this connection has become a significant part of everyday life for many. As with any other important clinical dynamic, training and preparation are needed to gain competence for professional practice and research. To this end, an ensemble of international experts across the fields of psychology and mental health explore topics that will help both new and established clinicians increase and understanding of the various ways the human-animal bond manifests itself. Perspectives from beyond the scope of psychology and mental health such as anthropology, philosophy, literature, religion, and history are included to provide a sampling of the significant contexts in which the human-animal bond is established. What brings these divergent topics together in a meaningful way is their relevance and centrality to the contextual bonds that underlie the human-animal connection. This text will be a valuable resource that provides opportunities to deepen one's expertise in understanding the psychology of the human-animal bond.

Download or read book Raiders Rulers and Traders The Horse and the Rise of Empires written by David Chaffetz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating history of civilization that reveals the central role of the horse in culture, commerce, and conquest. No animal is so entangled in human history as the horse. The thread starts in prehistory, with a slight, shy animal, hunted for food. Domesticating the horse allowed early humans to settle the vast Eurasian steppe; later, their horses enabled new forms of warfare, encouraged long-distance trade routes, and ended up acquiring deep cultural and religious significance. Over time, horses came to power mighty empires in Iran, Afghanistan, China, India, and, later, Russia. Genghis Khan and the thirteenth-century Mongols offer the most famous example, but from ancient Assyria and Persia, to the seventeenth-century Mughals, to the high noon of colonialism in the early twentieth century, horse breeding was indispensable to conquest and statecraft. Scholar of Asian history David Chaffetz tells the story of how the horse made rulers, raiders, and traders interchangeable, providing a novel explanation for the turbulent history of the “Silk Road,” which might be better called the Horse Road. Drawing on recent research in fields including genetics and forensic archeology, Chaffetz presents a lively history of the great horse empires that shaped civilization.
Download or read book The Horse in the City written by Clay McShane and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-07-16 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable mention, 2007 Lewis Mumford Prize, American Society of City and Regional Planning The nineteenth century was the golden age of the horse. In urban America, the indispensable horse provided the power for not only vehicles that moved freight, transported passengers, and fought fires but also equipment in breweries, mills, foundries, and machine shops. Clay McShane and Joel A. Tarr, prominent scholars of American urban life, here explore the critical role that the horse played in the growing nineteenth-century metropolis. Using such diverse sources as veterinary manuals, stable periodicals, teamster magazines, city newspapers, and agricultural yearbooks, they examine how the horses were housed and fed and how workers bred, trained, marketed, and employed their four-legged assets. Not omitting the problems of waste removal and corpse disposal, they touch on the municipal challenges of maintaining a safe and productive living environment for both horses and people and the rise of organizations like the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In addition to providing an insightful account of life and work in nineteenth-century urban America, The Horse in the City brings us to a richer understanding of how the animal fared in this unnatural and presumably uncomfortable setting.
