Download or read book St Urbain s Horseman written by Mordecai Richler and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2010-12-17 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Urbain’s Horseman is a complex, moving, and wonderfully comic evocation of a generation consumed with guilt—guilt at not joining every battle, at not healing every wound. Thirty-seven-year-old Jake Hersh is a film director of modest success, a faithful husband, and a man in disgrace. His alter ego is his cousin Joey, a legend in their childhood neighbourhood in Montreal. Nazi-hunter, adventurer, and hero of the Spanish Civil War, Joey is the avenging horseman of Jake’s impotent dreams. When Jake becomes embroiled in a scandalous trial in London, England, he puts his own unadventurous life on trial as well, finding it desperately wanting as he steadfastly longs for the Horseman’s glorious return. Irreverent, deeply felt, as scathing in its critique of social mores as it is uproariously funny, St. Urbain’s Horseman confirms Mordecai Richler’s reputation as a pre-eminent observer of the hypocrisies and absurdities of modern life.

As he straddles the racist divide while working with white men, a mutual love develops between him and the wife of an officer. In modern-day Chicago, Jonas’s one-quarter-native grandson, Russell, battles racism of another color. As a teacher at a mostly black school, he burns out in work, marriage, and self-esteem by sliding into alcoholic dissolution. Divorce, dismissal, and dejection quickly follow. Trying to exhume his self-respect, Russell attempts to revive his lineage through a self-imposed “trial by fire” alone in a night forest. This ceremony leads to a journey to retrace his grandfather’s story. Due to a past scandal, memories of Jonas have been erased in Russell’s family. Yet Russell’s childhood excursions with his grandfather persist. Wandering across Illinois and Wisconsin he interviews the people who knew Jonas and discovers a chain of sobering tragedies. When the search leads to North Carolina’s mountains, Russell comes full circle to his grandfather’s old homestead and discovers the love and purpose that the old man had bequeathed to him through a kinship with the land . . . and a brotherhood with horses.

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.

Download or read book Horses in the Backyard written by John Sepich and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-17 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HORSES IN THE BACKYARD by JOHN SEPICH Internationally recognized for his scholarly NOTES ON BLOOD MERIDIAN, John Sepich brings readers to a quite different side of his writings in HORSES IN THE BACKYARD, a remarkable collection of dozens of short stories from Sepich's decade and a half of caring for horses at a boarding stable in rural central Illinois. Early reviewers of HORSES IN THE BACKYARD all agree that it is a fun, unique read. Each story can stand alone, but like a book of poems on a central theme, the compilation enriches the individual focus of each one. Illinois Poet Laureate Kevin Stein writes: "The eye serves as agent of John Sepich's wonderful HORSES IN THE BACKYARD. A thread of light stitches eye to head to heart to pragmatic fact, a luminous fabric woven by dint of daily attention and repetition. From horses Sepich knows labor but knows as well revelation. Work is work, the saying goes, but so is epiphany." John Sepich says, "There must be ten thousand picture books of horses, but every horse is frozen on the page. Here, the horses are in motion. There must be even more books on breaking and training and riding. Here, and from where I stand, the horses are more important than the people. I wasn't raised in the country. I wasn't raised with horses. But after fifteen years of experience these stories would be my answer to a number of questions. What's it like to live in the country with horses? What are the horses like? Is it a lot of work? What are the seasons like? What kinds of things happen? Where are the satisfactions?" Some stories are informational or precautionary, like advice on how to keep one's foot out from under the horse's. Others give insight into the day-to-day working life of a stable, plenty of chores and the moments between chores. But all are fascinating, all with the sense of a person discovering a world, drawing attention to that moment when the ordinary becomes sublime, where the simplest act of releasing horses into a pasture, or mowing pastures in the afternoon crosses that invisible line and the mundane turns beautiful. On the surface it may be about horses, but it is also about "Dogs and cats and snakes and mice, hawks and sparrows, hot summers and cold winters, wind and fires and rain and snow and clay mud, all in the bargain." Kevin Stein adds: "Marked by understatement and the sly aside, there's nothing grandiose here. There's only one man's genuinely seeing the creatures with whom he shares a world, each bordered by time and natural cycle as is he. Snowflakes mingle with bucketed water, snakes slither amid uncut grass, a horse's nostrils snuffle his open palm. These things mark his earthly horizon, evanescent but redemptive. Like the tiny barn bird wind-poised above his left shoulder, Sepich's eyes 'see everywhere,' the two of them 'looking out for a time over the same world.' This book's gift is to reveal that world as richly figured and vivifying." All of these things and more, HORSES IN THE BACKYARD is a highly recommended choice, engaging and entertaining the first time through, and the fifth time, and the fifteenth.
