This a Special Edition. In this book the author shows you the conformation traits you want in a stayer and the faults you want to watch out for. The Author also shows you the Sires that have good conformation traits and the Sires that have conformation faults, if doubled-up in the pedigree can cause soundness problems. Also shown are the female family branches that have fragile bone structure, that you need to watch out for. When breeding for classic horses that could be Triple Crown contenders, you need horses that have good solid legs under them, to withstand the rigors of racing. A horse can have the heart and the will to win, but if he does not have the legs under him, will not be able to win the Triple Crown. The final chapter is an Epilogue of this book and the 3 book series, showing the Triple Crown winners and what made them great.

It is often forgotten how much we, as a species, owe to the great and majestic animal that is the horse. Indeed, the rise of modern civilization is much indebted to this wondrous creature. It is one that can fly without wings and thunder without clouds. It needs no speech to strike our own away, nor requires any wind to draw the very breath out of us. But how much do we actually know about the horse? Today, countless members of the human race attempt to understand and comprehend how we can live and work in harmony with one of the most amazing animals ever to come into existence. In Horses, Humans, and Harmony, equestrian Michael Kibler does just that. By breaking down natural horse psychology, human reactions, and the best way to adapt them both, Michael encourages the development of a healthy and happy bond between horses and humans.

The true story of one woman's fight against horse shoes.

Linda Chamberlain feared metal shoes were harming horses. In this light-hearted account she tells how she battled with her farrier, coped with derision from other riders and saved a horse from slaughter.

Mistakes, falls and triumphs are recorded against the background of a divided equine world which was defending the tradition of shoeing...with prosecutions.

Trouble ahead. When Mindy's horse-psychic friend Hillary elicits her help to steal a horse targeted for slaughter, they quickly learn that there are legitimate horse thieves in town and the sheriff's department is out searching for all of them. Their partner in crime, dear sweet old Mrs. Butchling once again finds herself at the helm of this horse rescue, much like the deer herd that she, Bethann, and Mindy illegally transported across state lines not too long ago. Along the highway, Mindy meets Shane, a utility worker for the gas company marking the territory for fracking; a controversial environmental drilling practice she vehemently opposes. Attracted to him in spite of this but armed with facts, she sets out to educate anyone who will listen, even if it means she may never see the man of her dreams again. Sadder yet, Malaki seems to like him too. "Not only will you be tremendously entertained by this beautiful story, you just might be a better rider when it's all said and done." Heartwarming and tender, even silly at times, this hard-hitting story about horse rescue will bring tears of joy to your eyes. With Mindy, there's never a dull moment. This equestrian Phenom and her friends will stop at nothing to save the horses. Leah Oliver says she's proud, very proud. "And I am too." An equestrian, horse trainer, and environmentalist, MaryAnn Myers lives on an organic farm in Northeast Ohio with her family and is currently working on the fourth book in the Bestselling Winning Odds Series about Thoroughbred racing.

Can dreams really foretell the winners of the Kentucky Derby and the Super Bowl? One person who thinks so is author Hugh Mitchell, who for many years combined a career as newspaper reporter and copy editor with a passion for betting the horses based on dreams and psychic messages. In this memoir he traces the history of horse dreaming from an Irish journalist, a member of the House of Lords, to an English electrical engineer who was so successful that he named his house for a horse. Mitchell moves from Boston to the West Coast, which he finds more receptive to ESP research. He tries sports betting and is successful in three out of four major sports. While some researchers encourage his quest, the author himself worries about the ethics of using psychic ability for gambling. He sits in on healing circles in Berkeley and Boston and enrolls in a course on spiritual healing.
