Book Description
Dressage is a love affair between a horse and a human. Treat it as such. Ride your horse on a long rein with joy in your heart and be gentle with your hands and soft with your seat. When your horse has warmed up, pick up the reins gently in order to let it know that you want to play, to play a game of love with sunshine in your heart. In the letters of Leaves are Falling on Horses and Riders, author Ulli Berner paints a picture of the world of horse people that is just a bit more poetic, even compassionate, than people in a mechanical world could display. These letters are full of laughter but of grief too. How many teenage girls have in short proclaimed, 'Horses are fun!' And how many older women have turned back to life in the stable after the loss of their husband, or the flight of their children from the nest? Berner explores these questions and more, and takes the reader to a time when Leaves are Falling on Horses and Riders.

The Horse and His Rider
Author: Francis Bond Sir Head
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
The writer of this little volume deems it only fair to forewarn his readers that he is not, and never has been, an inhabitant of that variegated region in creation commonly called "the sporting world." He has never bred, raced, steeple-chased, nor betted sixpence on any colt, filly, horse, or mare. He has never seen, nor been seen by, the Jockey-Club. He has never been on the turf. He does not belong to "the ring." Nevertheless, sometimes in the performance of public duties,—sometimes from private inclination,—sometimes for the benefit of his health,—sometimes for recreation,—sometimes for rumination,—sometimes to risk his life,—and more than once to save it, he has, throughout a long and chequered career, had to do an amount of rough-riding, a little larger than has fallen to a lot of many men. His observations and reflections on horses and horsemen he now ventures to submit to that portion only of the community who, like himself, preferring a long tether to a short one, take exercise on four legs, instead of on two.

Tug of War: Classical Versus "Modern" Dressage
Author: Gerd Heuschmann
Publisher: Trafalgar Square Books
ISBN: 1646012585
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
German rider and equine veterinarian Dr. Gerd Heuschmann is well-known in dressage circles—admired for his plain speaking regarding what he deems the incorrect and damaging training methods commonly employed by riders and trainers involved in competition today. Here, he presents an intelligent and thought-provoking exploration of both classical and "modern" training methods, including "hyperflexion" (also known as Rollkur), against a practical backdrop of the horse's basic anatomy and physiology. In a detailed yet comprehensible fashion, Dr. Heuschmann describes parts of the horse's body that need to be correctly developed by the dressage rider. He then examines how they function both individually and within an anatomical system, and how various schooling techniques affect these parts for the good, or for the bad. Using vivid color illustrations of the horse's skeletal system, ligaments, and musculature, in addition to comparative photos depicting "correct" versus "incorrect" movement—and most importantly, photos of damaging schooling methods—Dr. Heuschmann convincingly argues that the horse's body tells us whether our riding is truly gymnasticizing and "building the horse up," or simply wearing it down and tearing it apart. He then outlines his ideal "physiological education" of the horse. Training should mirror the mental and physical development of the horse, fulfilling "classical" requirements—such as regularity of the three basic gaits, suppleness, and acceptance of the bit—rather than disregarding time-tested values for quick fixes that could lead to the degradation of the horse's well-being. Dr. Heuschmann's assertion that the true objectives of dressage schooling must never be eclipsed by simple "mechanical perfection" is certain to inspire riders at all levels to examine their riding, their riding goals, and the techniques they employ while pursuing them.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 707
Book Description
Has religion been a masterful deception from the beginning? Do we, as humans, actually own anything, including our souls? Is life after death just an empty promise used to make slaves of us all? If asked, would you accept, then, forever conceal and protect from all intruders, the very thing that will destroy the world if you decline? Would you if you knew other aggressive world powers want it and will stop at nothing to get it? The Arsenal—Slaves Among us is a captivating story beginning when ten year old Sheree Anderson is torn from her mother’s arms, by her husband, and given to the Company to settle an old debt. Murder, sex, passion, and deception abound just before the Civil War, when three farm families work to get her back, at the same time dealing with their own dark secrets, political ambitions, raiders, and the underground-railroad. Sheree has inherent gifts that the Company plans to use to lure all earthly souls, to attain world dominance. Her father is covertly recruited by the federal government to track down those threatening our United States of America. But who, or what, is our enemy? Can walls have eyes and ears?
