Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horse and Hound I am aware that many ideas and views advanced by me are at variance with those of other writers, especially from an English standpoint, but they are honestly given as seen, and practically experienced in the field and saddle during a quarter of a century's riding to hounds. I have also availed myself of the opportunity to discuss many of the intricacies of the game through intercourse, correspondence, and association with some of the best known fox-hunters in the country, so this book can hardly be called a one mans ideas. I make no pretense of being an authority or past grand master of the art, but merely give my observations, whether they coincide with those of others, or not. The indulgence of the reader is solicited for the crudeness of style, and plain method of writing. No attempt having been made to make this a technical text-book, scientific or classical treatise, but to make it as clear to the novice and beginner as to the expert; I trust my efforts in this line may not cause the average reader to say that much more might have been entertainingly and instructively told in half as many pages.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cross Country With Horse and Hound The author makes no attempt to set up a code for officers of the hunt. He states the conditions and moves of the game from a member's and not from an Ofiicial's standpoint. He has never occupied any position in the hunt except that Of a modest riding member who dearly loved the sport, especially the hunting part Of it. His ambition has been to keep in sight of the hounds, and he is quite contented to let the racing men and jealous riders share all the honours they can extract from the satisfaction Of being called first flight men. A more important claim is that he has had considerable experience in breed ing, rearing, and schooling hunters that have been for the most part a credit to the system adopted in their training, and has been fortunate in bringing to this work quite ex tensive Observations of many different packs of hounds in European countries, as well as in the United States and Can ada. His chief aim is to encourage this most noble sport for sport's sake, to contrast the genuine sportsman with the artificial, and to pay to that noblest Of animals, the horse.

Book Synopsis The Hunting Field With Horse and Hound in America by : Frank Sherman Peer
Download or read book The Hunting Field With Horse and Hound in America written by Frank Sherman Peer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hunting Field With Horse and Hound in America: The British Isles and France Blessed be the thoughts and recollections That drive the ills and cares of life away, While they bring again serene re flections Of all the joys we had along the way. Cross Country with Horse and Hound has proved a happy disappointment, especially to the author. There being but few hunt clubs in America, it was argued that there were comparatively few who were personally interested in cross country riding to hounds; it was therefore With some misgivings that the book was brought to light. The effort, however, has received such hearty endorsement from the reading public in general, and has had such pleasant things said about it by the hunting fraternity in particular, both in England and America, that the writing of this second work has become doubly enjoyable. It may be said to have been undertaken in response to an encore. Next to a cross country ride itself, comes the pleasure of living it over again with whoever has the ear for hearing it, and an imagination keen enough to supply what neither pen nor pencil is able to produce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the North Countree: Annals and Anecdotes of Horse, Hound and Herd But few words are required by way of preface to a book of this kind. A collection of facts connected with Horse, Hound, and Herd, it does not pretend to be a con timucus history, or to give an exhaustive account of either. The notes from which it is chie y composed have been collected at long intervals, and the book itself has been written under somewhat similar circumstances. Portions of it have appeared in some of the leading Agricultural, Sporting. And Live Stock Journals; but these portions have been thoroughly revised in some instances, entirely re-written. I have used every care to ensure the literal accuracy of the facts of which I have treated, and in every case where racing is the topic, I have compared my notes with the Official Calendar and the General Stud Book.

Download or read book Fox and Hounds (Classic Reprint) written by Edward William Dirom Cuming and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fox and Hounds Osbaldeston's hounds, in the year 1826, when that pack was at the height of its well-merited celebrity. Let us also indulge ourselves with a fine morning in the first week of February, and at least two hundred well-mounted men by the cover's side. Time being called - say a quarter past eleven, nearly our great grandfathers' dinner hour - the hounds approach the furze-brake, or the gorse, as it is called in that region. Hark in, hark! With a slight cheer, and perhaps one wave of his cap, says Mr. Osbaldeston,1 who long hunted his own pack, and in an instant he has not a bound at his horse's heels. In a very short time the gorse appears shaken in various parts of the cover -apparently from an unknown cause, not a single hound being for some minutes visible. Presently one or two appear, leaping over some old furze which they cannot push through, and exhibit to the field their glossy skins and spotted sides. Oh, you beauties! Exclaims some old Meltonian, rapturously fond of the sport. Two minutes more elapse; another hound slips out of a cover, and takes a short turn outside, with his nose to the ground and his stern lashing his side - thinking, no doubt, he might touch on a drag, should Reynard have been abroad in the night. Hounds have no business to think, thinks the second whipper-in, who observes him; but one crack of his whip, with Rasselas, Rasselas, Where are you going, Rasselas P Get to cover, Rasselas and Rasselas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The "ABC" Of Riding to Hounds Before mounting, examine your girths, which in the case of a side saddle should be further tightened after the rider is seated. Also notice carefully your bits, to see that they hang sufficiently low in the horse's mouth to bear against the bars of his jaw and not against his cheeks. Most horses are over bitted either in weight or severity. Look especially at the throat latch, which can hardly be too loose. If tight, it will not only distress your horse, but in extreme cases, cause a rush of blood to his head. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hounds Lord Wilton, in a work entitled Sports and Pursuits of the English, says that about the year 1750 hounds began to be entered solely to fox, but there is plenty of evidence to prove that long before this date there were numerous fox-hunting establishments in England. In the year 1713 Sir John Tyrwhitt, Mr C. Pelham and Mr Robert Vyner came to an arrange ment that each lot of Foxhounds kept by them should be united so as to form one pack, and that their interests in the same should be divided. In all there were 32 hounds, or 16 couples, and the gentle men named hunted the country (brocklesby) from 1714, though the hunt was first founded about 1700.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Master of the Hounds It was on the morning of the 1st of November, 18 - (the fox-hunter's opening day for the season), that a gay party of sportsmen, in their bright scarlet costume, were gathered round the breakfast table of Mr. Beauchamp, of Bampton House, a gentleman of high descent, and large landed property, in one of the midland counties. Bampton House being of large dimensions, many friends were invited the previous evening to dine and sleep there, in readiness for the ensuing gala day; accordingly, about half-past nine on that auspicious morning (for so it proved, although not exactly with "a southerly wind and a cloudy sky"), a goodly assemblage of choice and daring spirits thronged the hospitable board of Mr. Beauchamp, all eager to dispatch their morning meal, and prepare themselves for the coming fray. On the sideboard, besides the usual dishes on such occasions, of ham, beef, cold fowls, game, &c., divers bottles of cherry brandy, Curascoa, and Maraschino, stood invitingly displayed. Of this goodly company, whilst so engaged, we may take this opportunity of noticing a few of the most distinguished characters; and first of all, as standing by fox-hunting etiquette at the head of his brothers in pink, the Master of the Hounds, William Beauchamp, now in his twenty-fourth year (living with his father), to whom the management of the pack was now entrusted. He was tall in stature, though rather slightly formed, yet of great activity and strength, and a fearless though careful rider.

The free, self-reliant, adventurous life, with its rugged and stalwart democracy; the wild surroundings, the grand beauty of the scenery, the chance to study the ways and habits of the woodland creatures - all these unite to give to the career of the wilderness hunter its peculiar charm. The chase is among the best Of all national pastimes; it cultivates that vigorous manliness for the lack Of which in a nation, as in an individual, the possession of no other qualities can possibly atone.

I knew that a new-comer was, if kindly welcomed, critically watched, and I confess that I was nervous; I had no confidence in my horse, who would at times refuse to face anything. How I hoped it would be one of his jump ing days! As for his galloping, it was worth all the two hundred guineas that my father had given for him two years previously, when he was sound in wind and fresh on his legs.

This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in the Open, Sport With Rod, Gun, Horse, and Hound in Southern California My conception of sport does not include a desper ate killing, a plethoric bag or creel the game is merely an incident in the day, and in the splendid canons of the Sierra Madre, I confess, has often been forgotten. A hunting, day, at least to my mind, should include a drawing for all the senses, not game alone, but the enjoyment of the flora, the variety in mountain view, the vistas of different kinds, the charming changes of colour and tone that sweep over the range as the hours pass, and the thousand and one diversions which nature always affords. Southern California lends itself particularly to such a definition of sport; its hunting grounds are staged with unwonted effects - lofty mountains, pallid deserts, seas of turquoise abounding not only in countless game fishes, but in a marvellous variety of living forms which appeal to the sportsman and fill out his days with aes thetic as well as practical experiences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wilderness Hunter: An Account of the Big Game of the United States and Its Chase With Horse Hound, and Riffle "They saw the silences Move by and beckon; saw the forms, The very beards, of burly storms, And heard them talk like sounding seas... They saw the snowy mountains rolled And heaved along the nameless lands Like mighty billows; saw the gold Of awful sunsets; saw the blush Of sudden dawn, and felt the hush Of heaven when the day sat down And hid his face in dusky hands." Joaquin Miller. "In vain the speeding or shyness; In vain the elk takes to the inner passes of the woods... ...where geese nip their food with short jerks, Where sundown shadows lengthen over the limitless prairie, Where herds of buffalo make a crawling spread of the square miles, far and near, Where winter wolves bark amid wastes of snow and ice-clad trees... The moose, large as an ox, cornered by hunters, plunging with his forefeet, the hoofs as sharp as knives... The blazing fire at night, the sweet taste of supper, the talk, the bed of hemlock boughs, and the bear-skin." Walt Whitmam.
