Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]for there are few fields too scanty to furnish examples of men who possess every quality of horsemanship except daring. What is it then? I cannot tell, but if you are fortunate enough to possess it, whether you weigh ten stone or twenty, you will be able to mount yourself fifty pounds cheaper than anybody else in the market! Be it an impulse of nature, or a result of education, there is a tendency in every horse to make vigorous efforts at the shortest notice in obedience to the inclination of a rider's body or the pressure of his limbs. Such indications are of the utmost service in an emergency, and to offer them at the happy moment is a crucial test of horsemanship. Thus races are "snatched out of the fire," as it is termed, "by riding," and this is the quality that, where judgment, [...]."

The story follows the life of Mr. Sawyer, who the author describes as "...a well-built, able-bodied personage, standing five feet eight in the worsted stockings he usually affects, with a frame admirably calculated to resist fatigue, to perform feats of strength rather than agility, and to put on beef: the last tendency he keeps down with constant and severe exercise, so that the twelve stone which he swings into his saddle is seldom exceeded by a pound."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sarchedon - A Legend of the Great Queen" by George J. Whyte-Melville is a historical novel that tells the story of Semiramis, Queen of Assyria and consort of Shamshi-Adad V, King of Assyria in the 9th century B.C. Excerpt: She was beautiful no doubt, in the nameless beauty that wins, no less than in the lofty beauty that compels. Her form was matchless in symmetry, so that her every gesture, in the saddle or on the throne, was womanly, dignified, and graceful, while each dress she wore, from royal robe and jewelled tiara to steel breastplate and golden headpiece, seemed that in which she looked her best. With a man's strength of body, she possessed more than a man's power of mind and force of will. A shrewd observer would have detected in those bright eyes, despite their thick lashes and loving glance, the genius that can command an army and found an empire; in that delicate, exquisitely chiselled face, the lines that tell of tameless pride and unbending resolution; in the full curves of that rosy mouth, in the clean-cut jaw and prominence of the beautifully-moulded chin, a cold recklessness that could harden on occasion to pitiless cruelty—stern, impracticable, immovable as fate. But Sarchedon only saw a lovely woman of queenly bearing, glancing approval on his glowing face. His Southern nature seemed to expand like a flower in the sunshine of her smiles. His looks could not fail to express admiration, and she, who might have been satiated with homage, seemed well pleased to accept as much as he had to offer.

Download or read book Satanella written by G. J. Whyte-Melville and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satanella, penned by G. J. Whyte-Melville, is a captivating novel that delves into themes of love, honor, and betrayal set against the backdrop of the English countryside. The book is characterized by its vivid descriptions of landscapes and detailed character development, drawing readers into a world of passion and intrigue. Written in the mid-19th century, the novel showcases Whyte-Melville's mastery of storytelling and his ability to bring historical settings to life. The narrative unfolds with twists and turns that keep readers guessing until the final page, making it a compelling literary work of its time. G. J. Whyte-Melville, a Victorian-era author known for his skill in incorporating elements of romance and adventure into his novels, was inspired to write Satanella by the societal norms and values of his time. His personal experiences and observations of the world around him likely influenced the themes and characters within the book, giving it a sense of authenticity and depth. I highly recommend Satanella to any reader who enjoys historical fiction and complex narratives. Whyte-Melville's storytelling will transport you to another time and place, keeping you engaged from beginning to end.

Download or read book Riding to Arms written by Charles Caramello and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horses and horsemen played central roles in modern European warfare from the Renaissance to the Great War of 1914-1918, not only determining victory in battle, but also affecting the rise and fall of kingdoms and nations. When Shakespeare's Richard III cried, "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!" he attested to the importance of the warhorse in history and embedded the image of the warhorse in the cultural memory of the West. In Riding to Arms: A History of Horsemanship and Mounted Warfare, Charles Caramello examines the evolution of horsemanship—the training of horses and riders—and its relationship to the evolution of mounted warfare over four centuries. He explains how theories of horsemanship, navigating between art and utility, eventually settled on formal manège equitation merged with outdoor hunting equitation as the ideal combination for modern cavalry. He also addresses how the evolution of firepower and the advent of mechanized warfare eventually led to the end of horse cavalry. Riding to Arms tracks the history of horsemanship and cavalry through scores of primary texts ranging from Federico Grisone's Rules of Riding (1550) to Lt.-Colonel E.G. French's Good-Bye to Boot and Saddle (1951). It offers not only a history of horsemen, horse soldiers, and horses, but also a survey of the seminal texts that shaped that history.
