Book Description
Horses and humans have shared a strong bond for over 5,000 years, and this relationship continues today, with millions of people involved in the equine world. The Secret Language of Horses is the book equivalent of feed, stable, and exercise -- providing all the basics for horse health and happiness. But it also goes beyond that, helping you truly understand your horse by explaining how to translate what your horse's actions "say" and, in turn, how it interprets your behaviour. These insights strengthen the bond between you and your horse and enhance all aspects of equine activities, from hacking to competition. In The Secret Language of Horses you'll learn about horse breeds and types, riding disciplines, horse communication, grooming, care, health maintenance, and more. It's everything you need to know, and the key to a contented horse and a confident owner.

Book Description
The sixth collection of poetry by award winning poet, LB Sedlacek. "Red Headed Eskimos" explores a variety of subjects often dark and surreal. A vast array of poems covering religious themes, science fiction, social commentary to light adventurous works. From "Prozac Pizza": "The deer come right on up to the / front door and spit and chew and drop / their cigarette butts on the ground / just to the right of the sycamore trees."// From "Burning Ice": "The meeting of velocity and humidity -- / won't be fodder for erasers or / chalkboards or for teachers with / apples. When the ruler touches / the skin, it is simmering."// Works tend to delve beneath the surface, exploring what you know is there but may not want to admit. Sedlacek's other poetry chapbooks include "Alexandra's Wreck" (Kitty Litter Press).
