Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con este método -con ligeras modificaciones- se doma al caballo de guerra en prácticamente todas las naciones. A mediados del S XIX se aplicó por primera vez en España el sistema Baucher en el Regimiento de Bailén, o de Cazadores, con resultados muy favorables. Cuatro años después, el regimiento de Farnesio ensayaba este mismo sistema. De los treinta y siete potros que se domaron, uno sólo llamado Timón se resistió a sufrir la baticola, sin que fuera posible remediarlo por su conformación; los restantes, después de haber pertenecer al escuadrón de Guardias de la Princesa, estuvieron en los regimientos de Coraceros. Las aportaciones del comandante Guerin, director de equitación de la Escuela Imperial de caballería de Saumur, uno de los más aventajados discípulos de Baucher, con su larga experiencia y autoridad enriquecen la cuestión de la doma del caballo de guerra. Durante la estancia en dicha escuela francesa de Gutiérrez Herrán, coautor de esta obra, fueron domados doscientos sesenta potros de toda clase sin que un solo caballo se atrasase en su instrucción, ventaja añadida a la corta duración de la doma. Sin embargo, aunque la base del sistema de Doma del Caballo de Guerra, pertenece a la escuela Baucher, los medios empleados difieren en cuanto a la aplicación con los caballos españoles, haciendo que su práctica sea tan sencilla como infalibles sus resultados.

Download or read book The Animal Side written by Jean-Christophe Bailly and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Animal Side is a manifesto on the importance of animals for human thought. It attempts to characterize the importance, for human beings, of the fact that animals exist. Adopting a philosophical and poetic approach, the book seeks to show that animals' ways of inhabiting the earth are, for human consciousness, an expansion and an exploration of what philosophers and poets have tried to name by speaking of the Open. Beginning with the story of an encounter with a deer on a road at night, the book proceeds by showing that, beyond the diversity of animal life and the ways animals differ from human beings, there is a "layer of the perceptible" on which we all draw, humans and animals alike, in our own ways. At present, however, this layer itself is at risk. Thus the book can also be read as a defense and illustration of animals' modes of being, and as a plea for their survival.

Download or read book Sgt Reckless written by Robin Hutton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller! She wasn't a horse—she was a Marine. She might not have been much to look at—a small "Mongolian mare," they called her—but she came from racing stock, and had the blood of a champion. Much more than that, Reckless became a war hero—in fact, she became a combat Marine, earning staff sergeant's stripes before her retirement to Camp Pendleton. This once famous horse, recognized as late as 1997 by Life Magazine as one of America's greatest heroes—the greatest war horse in American history, in fact—has unfortunately now been largely forgotten. But author Robin Hutton is set to change all that. Not only has she been the force behind recognizing Reckless with a monument at the National Museum of the Marine Corps and at Camp Pendleton, but she has now recorded the full story of this four-legged war hero who hauled ammunition to embattled Marines and inspired them with her relentless, and reckless, courage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the long established tradition of adapting classic novels to film or TV screen, encompassing novelists from Jane Austen to Michael Ondaatje. The early cinema ransacked literature for stories suitable for retelling in moving pictures, and as the art of the cinema matured, and cinematography, music, special effects and sound were improved, the art of dramatization began to produce high quality versions of respected novels. The authors in this book analyze a wide variety of literary dramatizations.

Download or read book Escuela de a Caballo written by Luis Urrechu Reboiro and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El tratado de Fran�ois Robichon de La Gu�rini�re, traducido del franc�s al castellano en 1.786 y adicionado en todas sus partes por D. Baltasar de Irurzun no es un libro m�s sobre caballos. Estamos hablando de una de las obras de referencia al que muchos se remiten, pero que pocos han le�do por las dificultades de hacerlo en las ediciones facs�miles publicadas. Es el texto que inspira a la actual y mundialmente famosa Escuela Espa�ola de Equitaci�n de Viena. Supuso una revoluci�n en el arte de montar y es de los mejores trabajos y que m�s ha influido en el arte de cabalgar de todos los tiempos. Est� escrito bas�ndose en la que fuera la filosof�a de su autor: la b�squeda del arte, armon�a, elegancia, sobriedad y ligereza a caballo. El trabajo literario del que se definiera como el "cuidador del caballo del Rey" de Francia, inventor del ejercicio de la "espalda adentro" se compone de tres apartados. El primero se ocupa de las diferentes partes del caballo (de la silla y la boca, de su edad, de sus pelos y se�ales, de los caballos de diferentes pa�ses y del herraje). El segundo est� dedicado a los principios esenciales de la doma de caballos, tanto para la guerra como para el paseo, la caza o el coche, seg�n los diversos empleos a los que se les quiera destinar. Se complementa con una interesant�sima descripci�n, apenas conocida, de los torneos, justas, carruseles y juegos h�picos. Esta es una edici�n adaptada al espa�ol contempor�neo (redacci�n, tipograf�a, l�xico...) de un cl�sico de la equitaci�n de 1.731 a cuyo texto, escrito en un idioma castellano ya en desuso, se han hecho miles de modificaciones. Tambi�n se han adaptado las antiguas medidas al sistema m�trico decimal y se han limpiado las im�genes, aport�ndole una estructura moderna de m�s f�cil lectura y m�s comprensible para el lector actual. Se han completado las partes deterioradas o destruidas en unos originales con las salvables de otros, entre los escasos originales que han aguantado el paso del tiempo y el mal trato. La versi�n espa�ola consta de dos tomos, que se han refundido para este trabajo que presentamos compuesto 387 p�ginas. Una obra imprescindible para los amantes de los caballos escrita por uno de los mejores y m�s sabios viejos maestros de todos los tiempos.
