Download or read book Thoroughbred Yearling Selection Based on Biomechanics written by Ross Brunt and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You will never look at a Thoroughbred yearling or racehorse in the same way. Based on bone structure, muscle and levering. This book explains the key body parts, and how they apply to distance-gearing, ability, athleticism, etc. Begins with the basics in layman terms building the reader's knowledge and confidence, and only then moves on to advanced detail. Learning how sets of bones function such as the elbow and shoulder joints, wither and stifle-set, fore and hind, and much more. Simply explained with images to help the learning process. Purchase yearlings with the critical 'racehorse specific' traits. Identify yearlings as potential precocious 2yos, early types that will train on or, improving classic types. Quickly spot obscured weaknesses and strengths that many experts miss. Thought provoking and innovative. The book is not based on the traditional veterinary or classic textbook theory - you may not agree with everything you read, but it will get you thinking. Written side by side with a trainer specifically to be understood by those who are coming from a basic conformation/levering knowledge base.
Download or read book Equine Levering for the Racehorse written by Ross Brunt and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Develop 'an eye for a horse'. Applying Levering to the Racehorse. Color cover, BLACK & WHITE INTERIOR. Search for the full color edition if full color is preferred.The book explains: the technicalities of how conformation levering applies to the racehorse; the rules that determine levering traits, & the unique levering traits of varied racehorse types such as sprinters, stayers, jumpers etc. Furthermore it discusses how levering relates to ability, distance gearing, yearling selection, traditional conformation, performance, breeding, stride length/type, racing conditions, etc.. With the many contradictions involved with the standard text book conformation, the author has set about researching many facets of equine conformation from scratch. This has been accomplished with software specifically developed for the purpose of not only identifying desired traits, but further analyzing the not so perfect traits, that often provide hidden benefits. The book is not about Veterinary, straight conformation, or the classic textbook show horse. If you just want a book about purchasing yearlings, 'Thoroughbred Yearling Selection based on Biomechanics' from the same author is a better purchase. Quote from racing magazine "Ross Brunt's take on conformation is like a breath of fresh air. Sometimes controversial, but never bland, his articles in 'Breeding&Racing' are among the most popular & well received. Capable of cutting through hyperbole to simple mechanics in layman's terms, Brunt has combined his years of analysis to produce an excellent publication." "Equine Conformation for the Racehorse is a treasure-trove for both new & seasoned buyers alike, & a publication every trainer should have in their office." "Brunt's book clearly demonstrates that when it comes to conformation one can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear." - Breeding&Racing magazine. Includes detailed chapters on & references to barrel racers & endurance horses. Lots of photos help the learning process. Chapters initially written as stand alone articles, so some information will cross.

Download or read book Thoroughbred Breeding written by Matthew M. Binns and published by J.A. Allen. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are still many unknowns in the breeding of Thoroughbreds, but the international research coalition known as the Equine Genome Project is facilitating many new exciting discoveries. Dr. Matthew Binns is a leader of the project, an enterprise set up to map the equine genome, and with racing historian and bloodstock authority Tony Morris has written this important book on the theory, practice, art and science of Thoroughbred breeding. This long-awaited book describes how man came to express pedigree and to develop theories about it, and how practical breeders behaved in the light of their understanding. IT explains why many theories--including some still widely granted credibility today--are fallacious, examines the very real progress in knowledge since the principles of genetics were discovered, and focuses on the exciting developments of the last few years, when eminent geneticists have applied their expertise to the subject of the Thoroughbred. It has been the authors' endeavor to present the information in a form that may be readily understood by anyone who shares a love of the Thoroughbred and a fascination with what makes him what he is. Packed with absorbing history and cutting-edge science, this is a fascinating and illuminating book.

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 442 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.
