Creature Comforts for Horses by Gwen Slade Pdf

This is not a book on how to choose a horse. This is not a book on how to train a horse. Neither is it a book on how to ride a horse. It is a book about knowing your horse from the inside out. After reading Creature Comforts for Horses, it is my hope you will begin to understand even more about what makes that big heart tick. This was to be a mini-cook book of nutritious healthy horse treats. I soon realized treats were not the reason I was the proud owner of fatty patties and hunky chunkies. My journey to know my horses began. In spite of a medical/science background, I knew nothing about the physiology and anatomy of the horse nor its nutritional needs. I knew even less about the feed I was feeding and had no comprehension they too are products of what they eat. Sometimes an indifferent, inattentive and unwilling horse is not a diffi cult horse but a horse that doesnt have a wellness sense of balance. A horse that does not feel well will not perform well. In my quest to know my horse from the inside out I scoured libraries, bookstores and the internet and consulted with experienced horse people. Because I could not find one book that spoke to what I needed to know, I decided to create one. Cutting the fat, trimming the excess and addressing only the essential information required to ensure optimal wellness for my horses, all in an easy to understand language, defines Creature Comforts for Horses. I am thrilled to share this information with you.

Creature Comforts: Private Pen Pals by Rochelle Lynn Holt Pdf

To understand the shifting emotions human beings go through daily, regarding any and all relationships to family, friends, lovers, acquaintances and strangers (ourselves included), each of us needs to continue to evolve and to become educated while living creatively in a stressful society and world. My original purpose was to match a different animal and subject for every day of the year. As it turned out, some months have more entries than others; but, none is less than a month without Sundays and/or weekends. Often, true benefit only takes place when the self who feels victimized expresses emotions on paper (i.e. in form of a missive to someone else) to comprehend whatever may be bothering the letter-writer. But, these letters aren't intended to be sent; they are private. Instead, consider this volume a way and means to comfort and/or offer a solution or resolution to a troubling issue. For, only by appreciating ourselves can we totally fathom others before ultimately caring about humanity at-large, enough to accept and tolerate, eventually love each other's distinct uniqueness in this vast universe still striving for peace and harmony. Writing letters has become a dying art. So too comprehending the significance of all creatures to balance our environment that is dependent on survival of on animals and insects. Perhaps you won't be able to resist sending one or two missives to the right or wrong person. That's up to you. I offer Creature Comforts with the genuine hope that you may realize every creature on earth has a purpose. (From the Author's Introduction dated Jan. 21, 2008)

The Compassionate Equestrian by Allen Schoen,Susan Gordon Pdf

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.

The Adult Rider by Sarah Montague Pdf

Sarah Montague's The Adult Rider describes everything you need to know if you are interested in introducing (or reintroducing) horses to your life. The book begins with a thorough description of all equestrian disciplines-from Western (barrel racing, reining, cutting, penning) to English (show jumping, dressage, eventing) and so much more! You might try endurance riding, in which you and your equine partner hit the trails for miles, or maybe you've considered polo, a sport gaining popularity in theUnited States and creating opportunities for eager beginners. Perhaps you love horses, but aren't so sure you want to ride—Montague will introduce you to the thrill of driving, the artistry of in-hand competitions, and the joys of miniature horses. Whichever discipline you consider, the author takes you step by step through the process, from choosing a stable (what to look for in an instructor and in a barn) to picking out your new riding clothes (you need only a helmet and sturdy shoes to start, but there's a world of apparel and accessories once you're hooked). Do you think you might want to buy a horse someday? The Adult Rider describes this process as well, but also introduces you to other alternatives—like leasing, a month-to-month arrangementthat lets you see how a horse fits into your life in both time and money before you make a commitment. The Adult Rider recognizes that we are not the same as the resilient kids who fearlessly hop their pony over a fence for that very first time.Montague discusses what makes adults mentally and physically different, and how to overcome these challenges. In the chapter "The View from the Other Side of the Arena," Montague interviews several riding instructors on the difference between teaching kids and adults and the ways in which adults learn differently. All in all, the point is to have fun and The Adult Rider provides you with the know-how to jump into the horse world with both eyes open.

Between the Icebox and the Stairs by Jo DeEds,James L. Reveal Pdf

Between the Icebox and the Stairs is a coming of age story embedded in memories of a special time and place. In 1985 the authors challenged each other to record their recollections of Tuolumne County as they knew it in the 1950's, a project which eventually led to the creation of the book. When Elizabeth Knuchen, the over-protected daughter of middle-aged parents, purchases her first horse, just two months after her fourteenth birthday, she escapes on horseback, headlong into a new-found freedom of self-reliance, belonging and responsibility within a sub-culture of " summer cowboys " and seasoned packers guiding tourists, fishermen, and hunters into the Emigrant Basin Wilderness. Jarrit Trover, the District Ranger's son, proud owner of real cowboy boots and a hat, is somewhat younger than Liz, and, initially, Liz is his nemesis. Their relationship gradually shifts to a companionable truce, compatibility, and eventually true friendship and a tentative exploration of something more, but is shattered by events beyond their control. What remains is their shared dream of special place in the mountains. Jo DeEds (AKA Joanne Knowles) was born in San Francisco but discovered the magic of the Sierra Nevada in childhood and never really looked back. She attended Stanford University, San Jose State, and the University of San Francisco, garnering a BA, an MA, and some lifetime credentials. She lives in Columbia, California, with an overgrown, unmanageable yard and far too many horses. James L. Reveal (AKA simply as Jim Reveal) is a retired professor of botany who spent thirty years at the University of Maryland and is now an adjunct professor at Cornell University. Born in Reno, Nevada, but raised in California, he moved with his family to the mountain resort of Pinecrest in 1947. Jim attended Utah State University and received his doctorate from Brigham Young University. He is the author of more than 500 scientific papers and books on systematic botany and botanical history.
