"Is it possible to be simultaneously passionate about winning in an equestrian sport and about the welfare of horses? Professional polo player Adam Snow and sport horse veterinarian Shelley Onderdonk answer this undeniably twenty-first-century question with a resounding, "Yes!" They have spent a lifetime together, nurturing Adam's astounding career at the top of his sport (he is the last American polo player to achieve the perfect 10-goal handicap) with the artful, conscientious care and training of the equine partners he needed to be the best. And Shelley's twenty-five years as an equine veterinarian have been spent helping sport horses compete at the highest levels in other disciplines, as well-including reining, racing, eventing, show jumping, and dressage-while always prioritizing long-term health and well-being. In these pages, Adam and Shelley share the keys to their success...and the struggles and celebrations that taught them along the way"--

"For six decades, Lynn Palm has been a mainstay of the horse training, showing, and clinicing industry. Her successes in diversity in training and the development of willingness and ability across disciplines are unparalleled. She has four Superhorse Titles-a prize awarded to a horse that demonstrates a broad skillset and proficiency in multiple sports. In these pages, Lynn shares the eight keys to her success in training and competing, and how you, too-whether you're eventing or ranch riding-can shape a horse with a good attitude, correct movement, healthy biomechanics, and top-notch conditioning. A "Superhorse" will take you farther for longer, and you'll enjoy every minute of it"--

An illustrated study of the biomechanics of horse-and-rider movement like no other.

'One of the most important and timely books I've had the privilege to read' Corinne Fowler, author of Green Unpleasant LandA revelatory historical indictment of the long afterlife of slavery in the Atlantic world To fully understand why the shadow of slavery haunts us today, we must confront the flawed way that it ended. We celebrate abolition - in Haiti after the revolution, in the British Empire in 1833, in the United States during the Civil War. Yet in Black Ghost of Empire, acclaimed historian Kris Manjapra argues that during each of these supposed emancipations, Black people were dispossessed by the moves that were meant to free them. Emancipation, in other words, simply codified the existing racial caste system - rather than obliterating it. Ranging across the Americas, Europe and Africa, Manjapra unearths disturbing truths about the Age of Emancipations, 1780-1880. In Britain, reparations were given to wealthy slaveowners, not the enslaved, a vast debt that was only paid off in 2015, and the crucial role of Black abolitionists and rebellions in bringing an end to slavery has been overlooked. In Jamaica, Black people were liberated only to enter into an apprenticeship period harsher than slavery itself. In the American South, the formerly enslaved were 'freed' into a system of white supremacy and racial terror. Across Africa, emancipation served as an alibi for colonization. None of these emancipations involved atonement by the enslavers and their governments for wrongs committed, or reparative justice for the formerly enslaved-an omission that grassroots Black organizers and activists are rightly seeking to address today. Black Ghost of Empire will rewire readers' understanding of the world in which we live. Paradigm-shifting, lucid and courageous, this book shines a light into the enigma of slavery's supposed death, and its afterlives.

"A parallel story to This Good Thing (Book Four) which can also be read as a standalone."--Back cover.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, The 1619 Project: A New American Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present.ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, Esquire, Marie Claire, Electric Lit, Ms. magazine, Kirkus Reviews, BooklistIn late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country's original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States.The New York Times Magazine's award-winning "1619 Project" issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself.This is a book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation's founding and construction-and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.Featuring contributions from: Leslie Alexander Michelle Alexander Carol Anderson Joshua Bennett Reginald Dwayne Betts Jamelle Bouie Anthea Butler Matthew Desmond Rita Dove Camille Dungy Cornelius Eady Eve L.

This book is my husband's life's work, which is dedicated to the well-being of horses, something I have always supported. We founded the "Friends Association for Classical Dressage Training" in 1977, so that classical equitation the way it was taught at the world-famous Cavalry School of Hannover didn't disappear. In particular, I would like to emphasize his work with poorly trained horses. Thanks to his comprehensive expertise and riding ability, he was always able to correct them and make them into rideable mounts.My husband's tireless energy in the training of horse and rider, as well as his sense of duty to "the cause" he had chosen to serve, were the main contributing factors to the writing of this book, especially after his expert articles "Classical Dressage Training in Practice" had gained nation-wide attention in Germany.

Le GYMNASE DU CHEVAL est une référence en matière de dressage du cheval de selle.Steinbrecht est un écuyer allemand dont l'oeuvre s'inspire du grand maître français, François Robichon de La Guérinière, dont il fait une étude approfondie."C'est le traité de Haute Ecole le plus complet qui ait été écrit: un véritable monument de l'art équestre."

"A highly illustrated guide to the most effective and beneficial stretches for horses. Stretching is a necessary part of any athlete's exercise and maintenance routine. Long recognized to promote flexibility and prevent injury in humans, stretching can bring the same benefits to horses when made part of their daily care. This illustrated handbook makes it easy for riders and owners to include simple exercises that improve performance and increase longevity in their usual training schedule"--Publisher's description.

"Beginning with explanations of why strength, flexibility, and balance is important to achieve out of the tack, certified fitness trainer Laura Crump Anderson provides important rules and guidelines for stretching, weight training, and cardio to keep you safe. A lifelong equestrian herself, she then approaches the scheduling issue head-on, helping readers determine where best to fit in the minutes they need in the places they need to be anyway-the tack room, the arena, the barn aisle. Using only basic items you are likely to find around the stable, she keeps equipment needs straightforward, recognizing that the less likely it is you forget something, the more likely it is you'll get that workout in. Readers are then treated to seven original fitness routines, each dedicated to a specific area like the lower body or the core, or designated as a full-body program. Full color photos of top riders, including Jan Byyny, Sloane Coles, and Sharon White, demonstrate how to perform exercises effectively, and step-by-step instructions ensure you get it right"--

P.-A. Aubert est né vers 1783. Il reçoit une bonne éducation et fait de fortes études. Quoique s'adonnant depuis tout jeune à la pratique de l'équitation, il est pendant longtemps employé dans les bureaux de la ville de Paris et en sort avec une pension de retraite.De 1792 à 1800, il est élève au manège de M. Testu de Brissy, sous MM. Le chevalier de Mottey, Lavard, Vincent, Auguste Pellier, Coupé et Gervais, élève-écuyer au manège Amelot, sous les écuyers Leroux frères, Chapelle, Pellier et Mézières, puis écuyer-professeur au manège Vincent dit manège des Dames quand celui d'Amelot est supprimé.Pendant le Consulat, il tient, avec M. Addenet, un établissement d'équitation à l'hôtel d'Auvergne, près des Tuileries. De 1818 à 1827, il est directeur et propriétaire du manège qu'il a fait construire rue de l'Arcade, où il s'adjoint, pour écuyers-professeurs, MM. Lemaître, Hirchsmann, Sarron et Perrard. En 1828, il fait construire, rue de Ponthieu, un manège qu'il dirige jusqu'au 31 juillet 1830. En 1836, il fait paraître son Traité raisonné d'équitation, en manuscrit depuis longtemps, et qui a reçu l'approbation du marquis Ducroc de Chabannes, « le Nestor des écuyers français », dit-il. Il continue ensuite à s'occuper d'équitation, soit en donnant des conseils à ses anciens élèves, soit en dressant les chevaux qu'on lui confie. Enfin il dirige pendant plusieurs années le haras du marquis de Villette, son ami. En 1850, il fait à Saumur un séjour de deux mois, dans le but d'obtenir du commandant de cette école. Son Traité raisonné d'équitation a longtemps été considéré comme un incontournable du domaine équestre.

"The Working Equitation Training Manual provides a one-of-a-kind progressive training system to those new to the sport. Lessons focus on developing confidence with the obstacle phases of working equitation while incorporating dressage principles.

The sensational tale of the first mixed-race girl introduced to high-society England and raised as a lady...The illegitimate daughter of a captain in the Royal Navy and an enslaved African woman, Dido Belle was raised by her great-uncle, the Earl of Mansfield, one of the most powerful men of the time and a leading opponent of slavery. When the portrait he commissioned of his two wards, Dido and her white cousin, Elizabeth, was unveiled, eighteenth-century England was shocked to see a black woman and white woman depicted as equals. Inspired by the painting, Belle vividly brings to life this extraordinary woman caught between two worlds, and illuminates the great civil rights question of her age: the fight to end slavery.The feature film Belle is produced by Damian Jones (The Iron Lady, The History Boys, Welcome to Sarajevo), written by Misan Sagay, and directed by Amma Asante, and stars the extraordinary Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Dido Belle, Tom Wilkinson, Sam Reid, Miranda Richardson, Penelope Wilton, Tom Felton, Matthew Goode, and Emily Watson.

Eine anschauliche Bedienungsanleitung für perfekt ausgeführte Dressurlektionen!Mit jeweils zwei Gold- und zwei Silbermedaillen bei Olympischen Spielen und Weltmeisterschaften und fünf Gold-, vier Silber- und zwei Bronzemedaillen bei Europameisterschaften gehörte Harry Boldt bis Anfang der 80er-Jahre in über zwanzig Jahren zu den besten Dressurreitern der Welt. Nur ganz wenige Reiter verfügen über einen solchen Erfahrungsschatz in der Ausbildung von Dressurpferden und als aktiver internationaler Dressurreiter, wie er selbst.Diese Erfahrungen gibt Harry Boldt in seinem Werk "Das DressurPferd / The DressageHorse" wieder. Er beschreibt nicht nur, wie die Ausbildung eines Dressurpferdes bis zur höchsten Klasse im Idealfall verläuft. Harry Boldt legt vor allem dar, welche verschiedenen Trainingsmethoden er selbst ausprobiert hat, bei welchem Pferd welche Methode sinnvoll ist und wie man Dressurpferde mit Erfolg korrigieren kann. Es ist das Buch eines Praktikers für die Praxis. Und das Buch eines Mannes, der so schreibt, wie er spricht: einfach und verständlich! Darin unterscheidet sich sein Werk von den Büchern vieler "Reittheoretiker".Ergänzt wird der Text durch eine einmalige Fülle fotografischen und zeichnerischem Lehrmaterials. So wird gezeigt, das die Verbindung von Foto, Grafik und präziser textlicher Erläuterung die eindrucksvollsteMethode ist, das reiterliche Fachwissen zu vermitteln. Auf seinem Olympia- und Weltmeisterschaftspferd Woyceck demonstriert der Autor die Dressurlektionen in Perfektion. Selten kann man zum Beispiel Bilder so harmonischer Übergänge zwischen Piaffen und Passagen oder so gerader und erhaben gesprungenerGaloppwechsel sehen, wie in diesem Buch.In Fotoserien mit Zeitlupenfotos von 9 Bildern pro Sekunde werden die Bewegungsabläufe der Dressur-lektionen in Einzelheiten zerlegt, die das menschliche Auge sonst nicht wahrnehmen kann. Danebenmachen zahlreiche Fotomontagen die Bewegungsabläufe in einem Bild deutlich. Ein weiteres Lehrmittel sind auch die Piktogrammabfolgen für jede Dressurlektion. Sie erklären präzise das korrekte Zusammenspiel der Gewichts-, Schenkel- und Zügelhilfen im zeitlichen Ablauf.Der große Lehrteil dieses Buches wird ergänzt durch eine ausführliche Dokumentation der geschichtlichen Entwicklung des Dressurreitens und einer Reportage über die Weltmeisterschaft 1978 in Goodwood. Diese Weltmeisterschaft war das letzte große internationale Championat von Harry Boldt als aktiver Dressurreiter.Unterstützt wurde Harry Boldt bei der Erstellung seines Werkes von den bekannten Dressurreitern Dr. Reiner Klimke, Herbert Kuckluck, Dr. h. c. Josef Neckermann, Herbert Rehbein, Dr. Uwe Schulten-Baumer, Willi Schultheis sowie den Dressurreiterinnen Gabriela Grillo und Maria Günther. Sie alle portraitieren viele der berühmtesten deutschen Dressurpferde der Nachkriegszeit. Für die Neuauflage 2011 sind weitere zahlreiche Top-Dressurpferde hinzugekommen. Ihre Reiter Klaus Balkenhol, Nadine Capellmann, Edward Gal,Anky van Grunsven, Anne Grethe Jensen, Margit Otto-Crepin, Ulla Salzgeber, Monika Theodorescu, Nicole Uphoff und Isabell Werth sind dem Stil treu geblieben und beschreiben Temperament und Charakter dieser Stars auf dem Viereck, ihre Stärken und Schwächen, Schwierigkeiten bei der Ausbildung, Besonderheiten im Gebäude und Bewegungsablauf sowie interessante Episoden am Rande.Der zur Zeit der Entstehung der Erstauflage dieses Buches amtierende Bundestrainer Willi Schultheis stellte seine damalige private Fotosammlung zur Verfügung, ergänzte den historischen Teil des Buches und kom-mentierte die Finalritte der Weltmeisterschaft 1978 in Goodwood.Mit dem nun überarbeiteten Werk "Das DressurPferd / The DressageHorse" von Harry Boldt liegt ein modernes und umfassendes Lehrbuch über das Dressurreiten vor. Und ist dieses eine Fundgrube selbst für den, der sich mit diesem herrlichen Sport schon lange auseinandersetzt.
