    This book, written by a seasoned ethologist, utilizes up-to-date research in equine ethology to provide practical insights that help enhance the bond between horse and owner. The primary emphasis is deciphering equine body language and signals to augment comprehension and strengthen the connection between humans and horses.The value of a horse typically depends on its ancestry, build or "conformation," and ability to complete specific tasks. Pedigree signifies the deliberate breeding of particular features. Having genetic solid lines for a specific feature or performance significantly enhances the value of a horse. Therefore, it is expected that the price of the horse will be higher if the characteristic is essential to you or the seller. Similarly, specific physical characteristics are significant for display and utilization. Consequently, horses with desirable conformation for a particular purpose will command a higher price. A horse's performance of desired tasks, which includes its training and behavior, generally has a more significant impact on its value than its pedigree or conformation. The user's text is empty.

    NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A vivid portrait of America’s greatest stallion, the larger-than-life men who raced and bred him, and the dramatic times in which they lived.”—Geraldine Brooks, author of HorseThe powerful true story of the champion Thoroughbred racehorse who gained international fame in the tumultuous Civil War–era South, and became the most successful sire in American racing historyThe early days of American horse racing were grueling. Four-mile races, run two or three times in succession, were the norm, rewarding horses who brandished the ideal combination of stamina and speed. The stallion Lexington, named after the city in Kentucky where he was born, possessed these winning qualities, which pioneering Americans prized.  Lexington shattered the world speed record for a four-mile race, showing a war-torn nation that the extraordinary was possible even in those perilous times. He would continue his winning career until deteriorating eyesight forced his retirement in 1855. But once his groundbreaking achievements as a racehorse ended, his role as a sire began. Horses from his bloodline won more money than the offspring of any other Thoroughbred—an annual success that led Lexington to be named America’s leading sire an unprecedented sixteen times.  Yet with the Civil War raging, Lexington’s years at a Kentucky stud farm were far from idyllic. Confederate soldiers ran amok, looting freely and kidnapping horses from the top stables. They soon focused on the prized Lexington and his valuable progeny. Kim Wickens, a lawyer and dressage rider, became fascinated by this legendary horse when she learned that twelve of Thoroughbred racing's thirteen Triple Crown winners descended from Lexington. Wickens spent years meticulously researching the horse and his legacy—and with Lexington, she presents an absorbing, exciting account that transports readers back to the raucous beginning of American horse racing and introduces them to the stallion at its heart.

    Neva "Grandma" Burright was born on a race track in 1883, and her 57-year career as a harness racing driver spanned the county fair circuit to the early years of pari-mutuel harness racing after World War II. During the 1940s and 1950s, major newspapers from Boston to Honolulu reported on Grandma Burright's exploits as a harness racing driver. In 1943, she became the first woman to win a Grand Circuit race. In doing so, she defeated the legendary Sep Palin, "the aristocrat of drivers," who had the financial backing of automobile heiress Frances Dodge Johnson. During that Grand Circuit race in Delaware, Ohio, Grandma Burright and Luckyette, her bay gelding, also shocked the harness racing world by setting a record for women drivers over a half-mile track with a time of 2:04 ¿. In addition to Grandma Burright's victories on race tracks, general audience magazines such as Coronet, Esquire, Hit!, Life, and Look magazines featured her in articles. She also appeared before millions on national television in 1954 and stumped the panelists on What's My Line?In Grandma Burright: The Queen of Harness Racing, Kevin Groenhagen explores Grandma Burright's legacy as a wife, mother, grandmother, and, of course, as a harness racing driver. He examines how a diminutive woman of modest means overcame numerous tragedies (the death of a husband, two grandsons, and two sons, all within 12 years) to become known as "The Queen of Harness Racing."

    Did you know America had a racehorse breed 60 years before the English Thoroughbred existed and 100 years before the Thoroughbred got here?Or that this breed could race in both sprint and stamina contests at the pace and the gallop? Or that it excelled as a saddle horse, hunt horse as well as at racing?Or that this early breed is the athletic base of all America's best light horse breeds?The reason you don't know of it is that its history and record was intentionally hidden from us.This book is a compilation and commentary on the history of America's first light horse breed, and the movement launched to eliminate it from the competitions it excelled at, and to replace it and its memory with another breed. The historical evidence is presented in time blocks and provides the contemporary accounts of this horse in each era in chronological order so that the reader may trace it and its descendant breeds through time to the present day.

    ""To understand the Kentucky Derby is to understand the contemporary American spirit." One hundred and fifty years have passed since the Thoroughbreds of the inaugural Kentucky Derby sprang from the starting gate to race beneath the iconic Twin Spires of Churchill Downs. But the story of the greatest two minutes in sports is more than the pageantry of the horses and thrill of the people who love and celebrate the event. Through the decades, the Derby, like the state that founded it, has experienced profound moments of social, economic, and cultural change. As one of Kentucky's flagship cultural and economic institutions, the Thoroughbred racing industry must constantly reconcile with its past and think critically about the stories that have traditionally made it into the winner's circle. In the right hands, artifacts of material culture related to the Derby have the power to inspire nuanced stories of the past and shed light on marginalized voices in the industry's history. In The History of the Kentucky Derby in 75 Objects, Jessica K. Whitehead sets out to recover the accurate history of America's longest continuously held sporting event and establish a balance between well-known narratives and those that are less widely shared. Whitehead, curator of collections at the Kentucky Derby Museum, gives readers a personal tour of 75 objects from the museum. Her selections place Black, Latin American, and female riders, owners, and trainers closer to the center of the Derby story, spotlighting the contributions and achievements of groups that have played an increasingly important role in shaping the legacy of the Run for the Roses"--
