Book excerpt: The Life of a Racehorse is a fictional biography detailing the life of a British racehorse from the horse's point of view. This book was republished by Cosimo in 2015 in honor of American race horsing, which got a shot in the arms when American Pharaoh became the first horse to win the "Grand Slam" of American horse racing (the Triple Crown, for the first time since 1978, and the Breeders' Cup Classic.) In this book, the horse, Sheet Anchor, narrates his life, from his time as a colt, through his training and racing days, to his sale as a stud from Tattersall's and his retirement. The story is revealed through Sheet Anchor's experiences and the dialogue of the humans he interacts with, including trainers, grooms, jockeys, and his master, Sir Digby. The Life of a Racehorse was highlighted in a 2015 New York Times article bringing attention to the use of the riding crop; it was cited as one of the only references to how horses might feel about its use. As such, horse lovers and race enthusiasts alike can look to this book for better insight into how horse racing has developed over the ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gift of the Grass: Being the Autobiography of a Famous Racing Horse And the grass it is a myriad army of little green people, who always love to live and do good. Oh, we have just begun to live in this world! We are yet in our Skins Of humanness a lot Of misfit links thick-headed, evil-tempered, Selfish apes who think we know it all and that we are great and wise and are living as God intended we should! But only if we could look ahead and see what the true race is going to be a million years hence! To them we will have been less than cave-men, cliff-dwellers. For they will have gone to heights indeed, over hills Of progress. And do you know what I believe will be the dominant characteristic, the ruling spirit of the perfect man? The recognition of life and immortality wherever he sees it, whether in tree, grass, bird, animal, or man. All things will be alive to him and he will respect every little life which lives, and knowing that he himself is immortal and that they also are, even unto the gift Of the life given them, he will respect the rights Of life in those things which we men-apes now wantonly and ignorantly slay. And he will love all things which the Great first Cause, whom we call God, has made. He will lie down with the grass, and kiss the ﬂowers as children, and be unto the trees an elder brother. And as for taking human life, the thought will have been bred out Of him eons ago! I would not live in a country where the blue grass does not grow. I associate it with the idea of divine good-will that God has sent it as a special Sign of his favor and esteem, and that those unfortunate lands where it does not grow are, while blest with other things, to him, as compared with the blue grass country, as a kind of Esau and not a Jacob.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Thoroughbred Hence mv only endeavors have been to bring this book down to date and modern ize its contents so far as practicable. The great world is in a great hurry just now, and has but little time 'to devote to the perusal of ancient history. So I deal with horses of the last sixty years as much as possible, referring the reader to the works of Col. Bruce for the old days in Virginia; and to Mr. Osborne's work for the ancient occurrences on the turf in England and Ireland. They were both better writers than 1_ am and had ihore extensive libraries upon which to draw for information. Hence 1 make no claim for any great amount of originality in this book, but I can claim truth fully that its construction is more orderly and methodical than that of any book that has yet been published on this subject, either in America or in Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Race Horse: How to Buy, Train, and Run Him As to the knowledge requisite, the apprenticeship which qualifies an uneducated lad to undertake, at a later period, the charge of a racing stable, would, of course, qualify one superior to him in this respect for the same task. This is an ordeal to which few gentle men will submit. In place thereof they can learn the art of training from observation, from experience, and from oral or written instruction. The last I have in the ensuing pages endeavoured, and, I h0pe, with some suc cess, to impart, success which I believe will attend the efforts of those who deem this little work worthy of their perusal and attention, and who intelligently inter pret the precepts and practice therein enjoined. These have been derived from actual experience of training in New Zealand, the West Indies, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, and from observa tion of the methods employed by the best and the worst trainers, and the success or failure attending their efforts, as well as from the Opinion of those whose reputation is deservedly high, and therefore worthy of consideration.

And this morning when I went out to play in the paddock that adjoins my stall I noticed a little mound of fresh-turned earth over in the corner. It got me thinking. You see, he was a pretty old dog as dogs went; older than most of them, because day before yesterday he had seen sixteen winters and summers. And, though in the life of a man this would not amount to so much, it is more than the allotted span for a dog. Happy was an English setter; and when I look back it seems only yesterday since he was a little round white cotton ball, always getting in the way of my hoofs or trying to climb up my hind leg and tie my tail into a bow-knot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the right team, miracles can happen. Even during a global pandemic. Welcome to the story of Mighty Heart, a one-eyed bay colt who captured the attention of horse racing fans all over the world when he won the 2020 Queen’s Plate, Canada’s iconic Thoroughbred race, at Woodbine racetrack. It is the comeback story of a horse whose outlook was bleak after his first few disappointing races, and got worse when the pandemic largely shut down horse racing. It is the comeback story of an owner, Larry Cordes, who had stepped away from racing after suffering a series of personal tragedies. Larry was always smitten with horses and racing, and became an owner when his late wife gave him a birthday gift of a racehorse. A leader in the heavy machine industry in Ontario, Larry’s love for horses became a warm and fulfilling family affair as his wife and daughters joined him in his fabulous obsessions. But the tight-knit group was rocked by the deaths of three family members that forever changed their perspectives on life and Larry, crestfallen, stepped away from his passion. Nine years later, he returned with renewed love for horse racing, and an idea to breed his own horse with the help of some of the finest minds in Ontario’s Thoroughbred industry. It is a heartwarming, comeback story—all because of a little horse that could. Run With a Mighty Heart is a refreshing, joyful read that is full of hope and wonder—showcasing that it truly takes a team to overcome the hurdles that we face in life. We are left cheering at the end.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Care, Treatment, and Training of the English Race Horse, Vol. 1 of 2: In a Series of Rough Notes Before I proceed further, it may be well to give some little account of myself, to enable my readers to judge of the opportunities I have had of becoming acquainted with the art which forms the subject of the following treatise. This I deem necessary, as it might otherwise appear rather extraordinary that a person holding the appointment of Veterinary Surgeon in His Majesty's Service should possess the knowledge requisite to write upon the training of race-horses. From the brief account, however, which I propose giving of the early part of my life, it will appear that the experience I possess was acquired in the only school where it could by possibility be obtained, namely, - in the stables, in which such horses are kept.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Morvich an Autobiography of a Horse The horse from time immemorial has played an important part in the civilization of the world. He stands out pre-eminently the king of all beasts. We feel a twinge of regret to call him a beast. The proudest moments of man are when he is astride his favorite steed. The glory of the great generals whose armies have shaken continents would soon fade and perish in the imagination and romantic pride of the world were it not for the magnificent poise and grace of the imperishable equine reared aloft on the pedestal of fame, his proud mane eclipsed only by the golden braid of his master, each typical of their respective majesties.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Great Year Lord Glanely's Horses Lord Glanely not only Obtained his position at the head of the list, but did so handsomely by a margin of £7751. It appears Specially appropriate that the owner who attains supremacy should include the Derby among his year's spoils, and this was the case in 1919, the Blue Riband being won by a colt, Grand Parade, whose merit for reasons presently to be set forth has certainly been underrated, though, as it happens, Lord Glanely did not owe his lead to the successes of a single horse as has almost invariably been the case with those who have accumulated most money. Little races, medium sized and big ones, make up the total we are about to investigate, and it includes what so far as I remember or have been able to ascertain has never been accomplished before, the taking of precisely a quarter of the stakes in the Ascot Programme. That alone makes the year memorable for the owner who achieved it. At the Royal Meeting during the four afternoons twenty-eight races are invariably run, and the owner of the black jacket, red, white and blue belt, won seven of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoroughbreds Less than a hundred miles from the city of Gotham, across broad green fields, dotted into squares and oblong valleys by full-leafed maple, and elm, and mulberry, was the village of Brookfield. A hundred years of expansion in the surrounding land had acted inversely with the little hamlet, and had pinched it into a hermitical isolation. The Brookfieldians had discovered a huge beetle in the amber of their serene existence; it was really the Reverend Dolman who had unearthed the monster. The beetle in the amber was horse racing, and the prime offender, practically the sole culprit, was John Porter. By an inconsistent twist of fate he was known as Honest John. His father before him had raced in old Kentucky to considerable purpose, and with the full vigor of a man who races for sport; and so to the son John, in consequence, had come little beyond a not-to-beeradicated love of thoroughbreds. To race squarely, honestly, and to the glory of high-couraged horses was to him as much a matter of religion as the consistent guardianship of parish morals was to the Reverend George Dolman. Therefore, two men of strong beliefs were set on opposite sides of the fence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
