By Sgt. Rick Pelicano
Publisher: Trafalgar Square 2004 ISBN: 1-57076-260-0
Every horse, from the pampered show-hunter to the family pet, is faced at one time or another with an object or situation that is overwhelmingly terrifying, or just downright confusing. With his systematic approach to "bombproofing," Sergeant Rick Pelicano of the Maryland National Capitol Park Police shares his methods on how to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to training your horse to deal with such situations. His vividly illustrated manual shows you how to accustom your horse to a variety of circumstances, noises, and objects, thereby turning him into a more pleasurable, submissive, confident, and ultimately safer mount. Lots of full color photos & many whimsical drawings to illustrate the training.

The Strange World Of Animals And Pets Vintage Book

The Strange World Of Animals And Pets Vintage Book

The Strange World Of Animals And Pets Vintage Book
By Vincent & Margaret Gaddis
Publisher: Cowles Book Co, 1st Edition 1970, SBN: 40212491X
Here is a collection of unusual tales that discloses the bravery, devotion, genius, wizardry, & precognition of animals & their telepathic communication & rapport with man. The authors' thesis is that love develops a subconscious bond between minds, which recognizes no division between the human, animal, & vegetable realms. Here we find wonderful stories about pets who earn money because of their ability to count, talk, or dance, as well as tales of animals exhibiting ESP - helping people escape danger or even making accurate bets on horse races. Cases of animals traveling across the country to be reunited with their families (after being separated) are not uncommon. We find that pigeons can be used to detect flaws in electronic parts, baboons can herd sheep & operate railroad signals, & dogs can find booby traps & other hazards. As the narrative evolves, the link between human & animal becomes undeniable, such as in the case of the flock of migrating geese who regularly used a conservationist's land as a refuge - but who decided to leave the day he died.The book also discusses the many pets blessed with bio-clocks, including the cat who woke her mistress up each day at the same time, & could even adjust to changes brought on by daylight savings time. Finally, there is a section dealing with the experiments of Cleve Backster, indicating that even plants have feelings & react to kindness & cruelty.The authors share an avid interest in the occult & the unknown. They are longstanding members of the International Fortean Society & the Society For the Investigation of the Unexplained. No dust jacket, was removed from a library so has Discard & library name stamped in a few places & card holder in back. Came from a collector with proceeds of sale benefitting a local animal rescue.
