How well do you know your own horse; can you really say he reveals all of himself to you? At the heart of the work of Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling is the precise recognition of a horse's nature in only a few seconds, followed by his transformation within minutes of the first encounter. But what is the secret of his work? Why do horses reveal themselves to him in the briefest period of time? This book uncovers the answers to questions that more and more horsemen and women are asking. How do I truly recognize the nature of my horse? How does a deep understanding develop? How can I achieve a friendship that will last a lifetime? In What Horses Reveal, Hempfling teaches the principles of primal life against the background of both the mythological and the real horse. He emphasizes the importance of totally honest self-assessment and self-knowledge and both mental and physical self-control, and demonstrates how a misplaced or misunderstood feeling, glance, posture, attitude or movement can make the difference between success and failure in the relationship with a horse. In order to gain a greater understanding of every horse, the author describes in detail, and explains how to apply, his unique system for recognizing horses. All horses, no matter what their breed or type, will fit into his clearly defined twenty-six character groups. The author's first book, Dancing with Horses, met with overwhelming international success; thousands of spectators bore witness to a way of interacting with horses that made the horses the teachers, the bearers of mysteries, whose proximity could transform human lives. What Horses Reveal extends this knowledge and should be read by all horse owners, trainers and students who wish to take their equine understanding to a much greater depth.

Secret Gardens: Creating Romantic Retreats

Toogood, Alan R.

A beautiful lost classic of English countryside literature. During the Second World War, John Stewart Collis left his comfortable academic life to work on the land for the war effort. Set in the south of England, his account comprises whatever happens to take his fancy, ranging from humorous sketches of the characters he works alongside, mini-essays such as âContemplation upon Ants,â âMeditation while Singling Mangolds,â to celebrations of the earth worm, pea and potato. Exquisitely written, the book is an enchanting read.

[From front jacket flap] It is a commonplace among conservationists that the English landscape today would be unrecognisable to our great-grandparents. Ninety per cent of flower-bearing meadowland, we are told, has been obliterated since the year 1900, two thousand miles of hedgerow have been grubbed up, numerous flora and fauna are threatened or have become extinct. And a rural way of life, familiar to us from the novels of Thomas Hardy and others, has also vanished. Yet there remains to us a remarkable recored of this lost world which to a surprising degree has been ignored: the work the English landscape painters and watercolorists between 1850 and 1914. In the pictures of Helen Allingham, Myles Birket Foster, Sir George Clausen, George Vicat Cole and a host of lesser known artists we have an incomparable archive. Christopher Wood takes the different aspects of life in the country - work on the land, the village, the cottage, horses, the squire, and so on - and shows how different artists recorded them. These pictures are not, of course, a straightforward chronicle of rural life. They also tell us a great deal about the attitude of the painters themselves and of their middle-class patrons. Scrupulous though the Victorian artists were in detailing the petals of a flower or the movement of a scythe, few of them depicted the countryside in a completely truthful or comprehensive way.
