Illustrated Horseback Riding For Beginners
by: Mellin, Jeanne

Do you want to ride and yet are doubtful about how and where to begin? Do you think that all riding falls into two types – "English" and "Western"? This book by championship horsewoman Jeanne Mellin will tell you about the three styles of riding most popular throughout the United States and Canada today, and the appropriate saddles, tack and apparel for each. Over 100 illustrations by the author supplement her lucid text in providing step-by-step instruction in all three styles of riding, with lively comments and tips on breeds of horses, riding apparel and riding etiquette. More important, the book stresses the need for harmony between horse and rider in the interplay of physical movement and psychological response that is horsemanship. 144 pgs.

Know All About Horses
by: Disston, Harry

A reference book designed for the non-professional rider, the casual rider, those with curiosity about and an interest in horses – especially beginners, both children and adults. Essential basic information concerning principal equestrian activities is presented, as are fundamentals concerning the anatomy, nature, care and history of the horse. The coverage is purposefully broad, including basic topics such as ailments, stable management, shoeing and characteristics, and more complex topics such as horse shows, foxhunting, steeplechasing, flat and harness racing, polo, cowboys and the West, reference material generally only available in obscure manuals, and mounted games, a test of horsemanship and horsemastership. Although the armed forces no longer include horse cavalry, it is included for sentimental reasons. Under "General," there is an outlined plan for a 100 mile ride (over other than mountainous country), and under "Horse Shows" there is a brief planning guide for horse show managers. Lots of illustrations. 216 pgs.

Nobody's Horses: The Dramatic Rescue of the Wild Herd of White Sands
by: Hoglund, Don

Descended from the greatest horses of the American West, the wild horses living on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico -- one of the most dangerous places on Earth -- were a national treasure and a living legend. Big, strong, beautiful, and fierce, their ancestors were the mounts of the famous lawmen, hardy cowboys, and notorious outlaws who had once ruled the Wild West. Over the years, these far-flung herds of the Land of Enchantment had inspired many myths, and were said to be guarded by an implacable band of enormous, ghostly stallions that kept them from harm. But in 1994, after decades of suffering through droughts, food shortages, and all the dangers that go with living on a military-weapons testing site, scores of horses suddenly died. And almost two thousand were in such dire straits that they were unlikely to survive. In a race to prevent more tragic deaths, large-animal veterinarian Don Höglund was called in to organize and lead a team of dedicated cowboys, soldiers, and other professionals in removing the surviving horses and their babies to safety. Then would come the challenge of rehabilitating them, and eventually placing them in loving homes with people who could meet the needs of the highly spirited wild animals. For the first time in book form, Nobody's Horses tells the dramatic story of these noble horses' celebrated history, their defiant survival, and their incredible rescue. 254 pgs.

Practical Horse Psychology
by: Williams, Moyra

Psychology is the study of the mind, and it's method is scientific. By means of systematic observations and experiments a good deal has been discovered about the mind. This book is an attempt to collect this material together and present it to those interested in horses. In the days when naturalists were making their first observations on animal behavior, they were also as a rule travelling to their places of work in horse drawn vehicles. In those days the horse was a most valued friend and assistant, and some interesting anecdotes were recorded of his behavior, and many questions were raised. Even today, the workings of the mind, especially in animals such as the horse, still retain many mysteries. But, by understanding what we do know, we can find added interest and enjoyment of horses, and thus make our lives, and the lives of our horses, easier. Illustrations. 194 pgs.

Quotable Horse Lover
Edited by: Price, Steven

Horses bring out the best in our kind; they inspire adoration and compassion. They act as both muse and catharsis for artists and writers of all centuries and genres. In the works of Homer, Aesop, Steinbeck, and Yeats, and in sources that range from the Bible and Dante's Inferno to West with the Night, references to horses abound. For such show-business personalities as Mr. Ed and Henny Youngman, horses are wonderful fodder. And politics, too, is rife with analogies to the horse, from the words of Winston Churchill to Governor Earl Long. With quotes 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. Salinger, William Shakespeare, Jonathan Swift, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Mark Twain, Virgil, and more. 400 pgs.

Rider's Problem Solver: Your Questions Answered
by: Jahiel, Jessica

The average rider doesn't have Olympic aspirations and a $10,000 horse. Most riders just want to learn as much as they can about horses, to ride as well as possible, and to enjoy the companionship of their equine partners. Many riders, however, feel frustrated with their lack of progress, struggle with uncomfortable tack or painful joints, or find themselves losing confidence after a frightening experience. In her informal yet informative style, clinician and equine behavior expert Jessica Jahiel addresses numerous rider concerns, from head (properly fitting a helmet) to toe (breaking in a pair of stiff new boots) and everything in between (those aching knees). She presents real-life situations and addresses them in comprehensive detail, offering proven solutions to common problems. Color illustrations. 384 pgs.
