Cherry Hill has done it again: created a one-of-a-kind equestrian
workbook that's sure to become a standard in the field. 101 Arena
Exercises is a ringside exercise book for riders who want to
improve their own and their horses's skills. The book is presented
in unique "read-and-ride" format that allows it to be hung like a
calendar for quick and easy reference.
Exercises -- suitable for both English and Western riders --
progress naturally from simple, basic skills such as the "Working
Walk and Jog" to the more advanced "Two Squares" and "Flying
Change." Hill presents recognized classic exercises along with her
original patterns and maneuvers, offering a wide variety of useful
drills for anyone who rides. In addition, 101 Arena Exercises is a
valuable workbook for trainers and instructors interested in
exploring new teaching methods.
Riding drills included are:
* Collected Canter
* Long and Low
* Loosen Up
* Circle and Leg Yield
* Trot-Halt-Back-Walk
* Zigzag Half Pass
* Long Serpentine
* Rollback
* Spiral
* Figure 8
The Cowboy Way is a tribute to the classic image of old-time lore
and its influence on popular culture.
Red Rum's classic win in the 1977 Grand National is the stuff of
sporting legend. Red himself became a national treasure, and his
charismatic trainer - the redoubtable Ginger McCain - became a
sporting hero. While the public adored Ginger, there were those who
sniped that he was a one-horse trainer. All that changed 27 years
later when, in a thrilling race, Ginger won his fourth National
with Amberleigh House, equalling the record of Fred Rimmer. Once
again Ginger had taken the sporting world by storm. In the 70s, the
popularity of Red Rum and Ginger almost single-handedly saved the
great race when there were plans afoot to turn the track into a
housing estate. Ginger himself is a remarkable individual -
charming, forthright, not afraid to speak his mind and a hugely
entertaining raconteur. This is his story, at times funny, sad,
exciting and always captivating, told in his own inimitable style.
