Book Description
More than three decades of serious study, research and teaching are brought to light in this book.The work I show here is the direct result of those experiences and my love of the horse.I have been very fortunate in having some excellent tuition and coaching from many world-class teachers in many different disciplines. Throughout all I will often refer to my time with Tom Dorrance, who despite never having taken a lesson from a human in his life about horses, still accomplished more than any man I know with regard to understanding how a horse thinks and behaves.Tom once said "A lot of people ask me to teach them how to do something. I say, I can't teach you anything. I might be able to help you learn to do something, if you want to learn it, but it has to come from you."I hope this book will shine a light in the right direction.JSR

Born into a wealthy military family, author Julie Lee enjoyed a privileged childhood in stark contrast to the abject poverty that most Cambodians experienced.

After her mother and father are sent to separate labor camps and Pol Pot unleashes a genocide upon the Cambodian people, Julie is forced to flee with her Grandparents, but between them and the safety of Thailand are hundreds of miles of dangerous jungle and the guns of the Khmer Rouge. As they flee, Julie and her Grandparents are captured and thrown with other refugees into a labor camp where, at the age of six she witnesses man's inhumanity to his fellow man. With her co-author Keith Vickers, Julie relates the true story of her survival which she attributes to countless miracles and the guidance of an angelic White Horse.

Book Description
When eighth grader Abby Lovitt looks out at those pure-gold rolling hills, she knows there’s no place she’d rather be than her family’s ranch—even with all the hard work of tending to nine horses. But some chores are no work at all, like grooming young Jack. At eight months, his rough foal coat has shed out, leaving a smooth, rich silk, like chocolate. As for Black George, such a good horse, it turns out he’s a natural jumper. When he and Abby clear four feet easy as pie, heads start to turn at the ring—buyers’ heads—and Abby knows Daddy won’t turn down a good offer. Then a letter arrives from a private investigator, and suddenly Abby stands to lose not one horse but two. The letter states that Jack’s mare may have been sold to the Lovitts as stolen goods. A mystery unfolds, more surprising than Abby could ever expect. Will she lose her beloved Jack to his rightful owners? Pulitzer Prize winner Jane Smiley raises horses of her own, and her affection and expertise shine through in this inviting horse novel for young readers, set in 1960s California horse country and featuring characters from The Georges and the Jewels.

Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
From a very young age, the author has had an intense connection with horses. They have had a profound impact on her life, and through her passion for their wellbeing and her extensive experience, she has discovered ways to create a communicative, two-way relationship which benefits the horse as much as the owner. The Horse's Voice offers a long-awaited, in-depth look into the many different ways that horses communicate and express their inner thoughts and feelings. The author delves beyond behaviour and body language into aspects that are widely misunderstood, or commonly go unnoticed, in the equestrian world. The book is overflowing with beautiful photographs, invaluable prompts and questions to help you stop, and reflect on how to implement her advice. Unlike many books on horses, in this treasure the author has revealed her unique methods of connecting with horses, and also shares her epiphanies and experiences of the horse industry. She explores how the modern 'horse-world' can actually lead us away from a true connection with horses, and offers help with navigating the sea of often conflicting advice and influence. Her refreshing findings and insights are fascinating, shocking at times, and ultimately reassuring and inspiring. Ultimately, this book will help you to hear and comprehend the many guises of your horse's 'voice'. It has the capacity to change lives, enable you to see your horse with fresh eyes, and take your equestrian experience to a whole new level.

Horse
Author: Geraldine Brooks
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0399562974
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
“Brooks’ chronological and cross-disciplinary leaps are thrilling.” —The New York Times Book Review “Horse isn’t just an animal story—it’s a moving narrative about race and art.” —TIME “A thrilling story about humanity in all its ugliness and beauty . . . the evocative voices create a story so powerful, reading it feels like watching a neck-and-neck horse race, galloping to its conclusion—you just can’t look away.” —Oprah Daily Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and the Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award · Finalist for the Chautauqua Prize · A Massachusetts Book Award Honor Book A discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history: from these strands, a Pulitzer Prize winner braids a sweeping story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across American history Kentucky, 1850. An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack. New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse—one studying the stallion’s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.
