Book Description
I Love Horses gathers the most memorable quotes about horses ever written, recorded, or carried down through the ages, together with 50 fantastic photos of the prettiest horses available. Horses bring out the best in us; they inspire adoration and compassion. They have served as both muse and catharsis for artists and writers of all centuries and genres. Horses illuminate the prose of literary giants from Homer and Aesop to Steinbeck and Yeats and in sources that range from the Bible and Dante's Inferno to West with the Night, references to horses are abound. In I Love Horses, humorous remarks from the likes of Groucho Marx and Henny Youngman share the pages with valuable wisdom on training and horsemanship from widely honored trainers, past and present. What living creature is the most noble of all, and has spurred on great minds throughout history from Shakespeare to Winston Churchill? All hippophiles know the answer. It is the horse, of course. For all those in love with this magnificent animal, I Love Horses will reside close to the heart and never be far away. Includes wisdom from: Dave Barry Napoleon Bonaparte Lewis Carroll Geoffrey Chaucer Charles Dickens Emily Dickinson Walter Farley W. C. Fields Ian Fleming Benjamin Franklin Samuel Johnson Nikita Khrushchev Rudyard Kipling Groucho Marx Thomas McGuane Herman Melville Plato Damon Runyon J. D.

Ponies "Little 'Equines' With Lots of Heart" For Kids

Languages : en
Pages : 45
Book Description
Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Great Ponies Chapter 2 Amazing Creatures Chapter 3 Pony Fun Facts! Conclusion Nature's Amazing Wonders Author Bio Introduction A horse doesn’t care how much you know until he knows how much you care ~ Pat Parelli *** Ponies: Ponies are beautiful little equines with big hearts! The name Pony comes from a French word that means: foal. Do you remember what a foal is? CURIOUS FACT FOR KIDS: When a horse is born until 6 months of age it’s called a foal. But this does not mean a Pony is only a Pony until they are 6 months old! Why? Well, other horses grow up and get different names like: Yearling, Colt, Stallion, Filly, Gelding and Mare. But not a Pony. No matter how old a Pony gets, it will still be a Pony! Ponies are smart and friendly and some of them can be a little hard to handle. But not all of them are like that! Only some. Most Ponies are great for small children to ride, if they are trained in the right way. Ponies are sometimes called “miniature.” Do you know the meaning of this word? Some dictionaries say: “Very small in size.” So Ponies are smaller than other horses. You probably know a lot about big horses, so where do Ponies come from? Sadly, we do not know exactly where Ponies come from, but we do have a good idea. I will tell you more about this in Chapter 1, when we talk about the history of Ponies.
