Описание: Among certain fans, Roy Rogers’ golden Palomino Trigger was more popular than the King of the Cowboys himself. Some are still infatuated by the horse decades after his death in 1965—and no wonder. Trigger is the most famous movie horse of all time. But in truth, “Trigger” was a composite of the original horse, a number of look-alikes and one extraordinary double (rarely acknowledged by Rogers) named Little Trigger. This book is a detailed look at the animals and men who created and nurtured the legend of “the smartest horse in the movies.” It covers the life story of the original horse and the look-alikes, as well as the story of “Trigger,” the legend. A filmography lists all films in which Trigger appeared, including some without Roy Rogers. Television and personal appearances are also discussed. Covered in their own chapters are horse hero comic books and Trigger collectibles. Also included are a biography of Trigger’s trainer Glenn Randall and a chapter on Roy Rogers as horseman. Generous illustrations include many rare (some previously unpublished) photographs gathered from Trigger collectors nationwide, and even copies of Trigger’s registration form and bill of sale.

Описание: Survivors of trauma, loss, illness, abuse, stress, and depression can face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. But today, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that horses play a crucial role in therapy for those struggling with significant psychological and emotional challenges. Horses respond to angry, inhibited, heartbroken, defiant, terrified clients in many different ways, often breaking through defensive barriers via their physical presence, or by pointing to areas of psychological distress not immediately apparent. The horse's response guides the treatment team, as well as the client, in the healing process. Inspired by her own childhood trauma when she spent seven days in a coma, awakened to a severely compromised body and brain, and rebuilt her life with the help of a horse, Michelle Holling-Brooks founded Unbridled Change, a non-profit equine-partnered therapy organization that helps match horses to individuals in need. Here she shares the amazing stories of the horses that play active roles in counseling sessions: Ashley was locked in closets as punishment, and physically and sexually abused, resulting in an angry and violent child who threatened her adoptive family--until she met Cocoa and Radar, the horses that helped her learn to trust again. Brenda was diagnosed bipolar and lived through humiliating domestic abuse, but three horses--Delilah, Wisky, and Diesel--helped her establish a sense of self-worth, hope for the future, and ultimately, the will to go on. Nick was an angry, suicidal veteran with combat PTSD, who eventually acknowledged, "The horses literally saved my life." Meet the Horse Counselors.
Once a thriving population of horses covered the Americas, then they spread across the World and died out in the Americas. But, as fate would have it, they were returned to their native lands by man. The development of human societies has been transformed in the Americas by the horse. The Horse allowed indigenous man to travel faster than his two legs could carry him on land.
This book looks at the many eras of the horse in the Americas. From the ancient earliest horses to breeds created for the needs of indigenous tribes, hunters, trappers, adventurers, and settlers who populated the American continents. This book takes a close look at how man adapted the horse to meet a wide spectrum of temperatures, environments, and conditions, as well as changing the animal's size and structure to meet the needs of newly developing societies within North and South America.

A few days before Kanes new husband leaves for a three-month horse-pack expedition, a gelding is seriously injured, and she agrees to stay behind to tend the horses wound.

Including striking photos of the Muskwa-Kechika and the pack string horses, the book touches on universal issues of ecological protection and individual identity.

Автор: Susan Hunter, Richard A. Brisbin Jr Название: Pet Politics: The Political and Legal Lives of Cats, Dogs, and Horses in Canada and the United States ISBN: 1557537321 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781557537324 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 29220.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Although scholars in the disciplines of law, psychology, philosophy, and sociology have published a considerable number of prescriptive, normative, and theoretical studies of animals in society, Pet Politics presents the first study of the development of companion animal or pet law and policy in Canada and the United States by political scientists. The authors examine how people and governments classify three species of pets or companion animals—cats, dogs, and horses—for various degrees of legal protection. They then detail how interest groups shape the agenda for companion animal legislation and regulation, and the legislative and administrative formulation of anticruelty, kennel licensing, horse slaughter, feral and roaming cat, and breed ban policies. Finally, they examine the enforcement of these laws and policies by agencies and the courts. Using an eclectic mix of original empirical data, original case studies, and interviews—and relying on general theories and research about the policy process and the sociopolitical function of legality—the authors illustrate that pet policy is a unique field of political struggle, a conflict that originates from differing perspectives about whether pets are property or autonomous beings, and clashing norms about the care of animals. The result of the political struggle, the authors argue, is difficulty in the enactment of policies and especially in the implementation and enforcement of laws that might improve the welfare of companion animals.
Автор: Alistar Brooks Название: About Horses of Course & Horse Humans Too ISBN: 1921496207 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781921496202 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 28590.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The world can be divided between Horse Humans and the rest, just as it can be divided, for example, between those who love cricket and the rest of humanity who have not the remotest interest in the game. Yet there is so much within the pages of this book that is of general interest -- controversial, practical, historical, philosophical, and otherwise more esoteric -- it would be presumptuous not to assume that at least a modicum of those who have nothing at all to do with horses might find it an utterly intriguing read; even lovers of cricket! Certainly, Horse Humans will discover it has not only deeply thought provoking appeal but, in many parts, is extraordinarily revealing of facts about horses and the Horse/Human relationship that they may never have considered or known. For without the horse, human history would have been so completely different as to be totally unrecognisable in any of the ways in which we now understand it to have occurred. In this his second book, Alistair Brooks weaves an intricately rich and colourful tapestry, which embraces horses from their beginnings in North America fifty-five million years ago down to the present day where, in their multi-various breeds, they can be found living on all the inhabitable parts of our planet. He does this entirely from one horses point of view. Sun Dancer is a venerable Sage Horse, as well as an Equine School Master. He is both wise and knowledgeable. But he is modest too and yet, possibly for the first time ever, he is a horse who has the means to share, in the pages of a book, his vast knowledge and wisdom, along with the hugely ancient trace memories of his kind.

Название: Horse Photography: The Dynamic Guide for Horse Lovers ISBN: 0981793673 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780981793672 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 34310.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Why photograph horses? Because, in the words of author Carol Walker, they "fill our hearts", and capturing them on film or in digital images expresses that relationship. We want to catch and hold -- and show -- their spirit, their tremendous joy in living, their unique personalities, and of course, their incomparable beauty. And we want the quality of our images to honour our glorious subjects. Photographing horses presents a double challenge, the first being the technical aspects -- the lenses, the setting, the light and speed, and how all those relate to the subject. The second element is more elusive; it is horse knowledge -- the educated ability to see how a horse moves, sense its moods, and understand its psychology as a prey animal. This book presents the tools to master both technique and subject matter. More than that, the book will stir your creativity and inspire you to spend more time focusing on these animals you admire. Carol Walker has travelled the world photographing animals for almost 30 years, and since 2000 has concentrated on horses, including the object of her greatest passion, Americas wild horses. Carols stunning images illuminate the relationship between horses and their people, as well as showcase the beauty of horses at liberty. She teaches equine photography workshops for amateurs, and her commercial work includes fine art, magazine covers, and calendars. Her first book, "Wild Hoofbeats: Americas Vanishing Wild Horses" is in its second printing and has won numerous awards for the quality of images and evocative writing. This book will be the reference of choice for any photographer aspiring to do justice to that most appealing of animals, the horse.
