Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, horses were ubiquitous in America. They plowed the fields, transported people and goods within and between cities and herded livestock. About a million of them were shipped overseas to serve in World War I. Equine related industries employed vast numbers of stable workers, farriers, wainwrights, harness makers and teamsters. Cities were ringed with fodder-producing farmland, and five-story stables occupied prime real estate in Manhattan. Then, in just a few decades, the horses vanished in a wave of emerging technologies. Those technologies fostered unprecedented economic growth, and with it a culture of recreation and leisure that opened a new place for the horse as an athletic teammate and social companion.

Download or read book As to Polo written by William Cameron Forbes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from As to Polo This little book was first written in very busy days in the Philippine Islands and sent out with a good deal of hesitation, as the author was in doubt as to the correctness of many of his conclusions and as to the reception that such a book would receive. It has been received so cordially that this fourth edition is now complete and is offered to polo players. The first edition contained many errors and was shortly replaced by a second, the supply of which was exhausted late in 1918. During the war no effort was made to print a third edition and a few remaining copies of the first were used to supply the unexpected large demand this winter and spring. The third edition contains a small amount of new matter, numerous corrections, some additional comment, and one additional diagram. The chapter on rules is mostly new. Although out of date for this edition, the introduction has been left, except for certain verbal changes, as written for the earlier editions. The author thought at first of calling the book A Polo Primer, as an indication that it was intended only for beginners, but it seems to have meta fairly general demand and is, I believe, in use by army players and members of several of the newer polo clubs.

Download or read book Polo in Argentina written by Horace A. Laffaye and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work--the first of its kind in more than sixty years--covers polo in Argentina, from its beginnings in the 1870s to the summer of 2013. The history of the early pioneers is constructed with data not previously published, gathered from contemporary sources. International competitions are covered and include the Olympic Games, the Cup of the Americas and the World Championships. Particular attention is given to the major clubs, the Argentine and Hurlingham Open Championships, and the National Handicap Tournament. Several of the elite players merit individual or family mini-biographies. Myths in Argentine polo are also debunked, based upon careful analysis of contemporary sources. Travels abroad by Argentine teams are fully described as are the foreign teams that competed in Argentina. The work is enhanced by the author's personal observation of significant events and friendship with many of the participants.

Book excerpt: Dr. Ohrenspan is no ordinary man. Bluntly put, he is something of a freak. His features resemble those of a Neanderthal; his body is hairy and his walk plodding. He has suffered a lifetime of unkind stares and ridicule. In short, his existence has been a quiet hell. But with an IQ of 200 he is also somewhat of a dichotomy. Ohrenspan's origin is a well-guarded secret. The fact that he is the result of genetic experiments performed by the infamous Nazi doctor Johannes Strengele, is known only to a few close confidants like Dr. Chipmonk and Colonel Hal Hilmer. Ever since his escape from Strengele's clandestine laboratories in the hinterland of Uruguay as a young lad, Ohrenspan has had an overwhelming urge to one day return and tear his evil maker limb from limb. That day has come. With the aid of Dr. Chipmonk, Ohrenspan has completed the construction of Aquaria, a sub-oceanic city state off the coast of South America. The two scientists populated Aquaria with their own creations, a new species of pseudo-humans, having both lungs and gills, which allows them to live in water, as well as on land. Ohrenspan's invasion of Strengele's stronghold with an Aquarian army is imminent. Nothing but Strengele's death at his own hairy hands will suffice. But even the best laid plans often run afoul of bizarre events. When he finally faces his nemesis, he is shocked to realize that he has come full circle with the monster buried deep within his genetic stew. Now, a hell of a different kind takes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Love Horses gathers the most memorable quotes about horses ever written, recorded, or carried down through the ages, together with 50 fantastic photos of the prettiest horses available. Horses bring out the best in us; they inspire adoration and compassion. They have served as both muse and catharsis for artists and writers of all centuries and genres. Horses illuminate the prose of literary giants from Homer and Aesop to Steinbeck and Yeats and in sources that range from the Bible and Dante's Inferno to West with the Night, references to horses are abound. In I Love Horses, humorous remarks from the likes of Groucho Marx and Henny Youngman share the pages with valuable wisdom on training and horsemanship from widely honored trainers, past and present. What living creature is the most noble of all, and has spurred on great minds throughout history from Shakespeare to Winston Churchill? All hippophiles know the answer. It is the horse, of course. For all those in love with this magnificent animal, I Love Horses will reside close to the heart and never be far away. Includes wisdom from: Dave Barry Napoleon Bonaparte Lewis Carroll Geoffrey Chaucer Charles Dickens Emily Dickinson Walter Farley W. C. Fields Ian Fleming Benjamin Franklin Samuel Johnson Nikita Khrushchev Rudyard Kipling Groucho Marx Thomas McGuane Herman Melville Plato Damon Runyon J. D.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of stupid utterances, mostly unintentional--although not always--from politics, show business, sports, and anywhere else people can put their feet in their mouths. Based on recorded history, it's safe to say that dumb remarks have been with us since the invention of writing. Young or old, rich or poor, famous or unknown, people of all generations and cultures have seized the opportunity to say something dumb - stupidity has always been an equal opportunity employer. In celebration of such mental lapses and pure idiocy, here is a collection of stupid utterances, unintentional and otherwise, from the worlds of politics, radio, television, newspapers, show business, sports, and literature - and everywhere else people can - and have - put their feet in their mouths.
