Download or read book Horses in Society written by Margaret Elsinor Derry and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before crude oil and the combustion engine, the industrialized world relied on a different kind of power - the power of the horse. Horses in Society is the story of horse production in the United States, Britain, and Canada at the height of the species' usefulness, the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century. Margaret E. Derry shows how horse breeding practices used during this period to heighten the value of the animals in the marketplace incorporated a intriguing cross section of influences, including Mendelism, eugenics, and Darwinism. Derry elucidates the increasingly complex horse world by looking at the international trade in army horses, the regulations put in place by different countries to enforce better horse breeding, and general aspects of the dynamics of the horse market. Because it is a story of how certain groups attempted to control the market for horses, by protecting their breeding activities or 'patenting' their work, Horses in Society provides valuable background information to the rapidly developing present-day problem of biological ownership. Derry's fascinating study is also a story of the evolution of animal medicine and humanitarian movements, and of international relations, particularly between Canada and the United States.

Download or read book The Shire Horse in Peace and War written by J. Albert Frost and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work contains a detailed description of Shire horse, a breed of draught horse, that originated in England from The Old English War Horse. Strong enough to carry the weight of a knight in full armor, these horses became famous as the tallest and the most robust of all the horse breeds. Written in a friendly style by J. Albert Frost, the work was directed at the farmers. He chose a lucid manner to write as he knew farmers like himself appreciated simple language. The author wrote it as a kind of concise record of all that the Shire breeders and exhibitors had accomplished with their animals till then. This book was published in 1915, just six months into the First World War. Thus, one can also read about Frost's expectations from the future where he hopes that the horses can stop moving guns and return to their farm labor or to carrying cargo wagons in the cities or to whatever job they had before the war.

Book excerpt: Nearly 900 years after Duke Godfrey de Bouillon set out on the First Crusade, Tim Severin set out with one woman and two horses to retrace his steps. Starting out from Chateau Bouillon in Belgium with the same breed of Ardennes Heavy Horse used by Duke Godfrey, Severin followed the historic trail for eight and a half months. Riding out of the green countryside of northern Europe into the heat and parched landscape of the Near East, he and his companion covered more than 2,500 miles, past ruined Crusader settlements and ancient battlefields, through arduous mountain passes and across barren Anatolian steppes. Across Germany, Austria, Hungary, (then) Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Syria, he followed the precise route of the medieval voyagers towards their common destination - Jerusalem.In this dazzling synthesis of adventure, practical history and exploration, Severin assesses just how far Duke Godfrey could have travelled each day; which routes the Crusaders would have taken and how they would have cared for themselves and their horses.
