So, the next best thing was just getting to ride a glorious steed on a visiting carnival merry-go-round. Holding my Mom’s hand, I impatiently waited in line, picking out “my horse” from those that mer- rily circled before me. No lordly lion or red robed rabbit for me. No! A golden horse with the wildly tossing white mane and showy saddle, or perhaps the jet black stallion with his jewel-bedecked bridle and boldly arched neck! As the gate opened, I raced forward to spring onto the perfect prancing pony, hoping that no other rider would beat me to my mount! Then as the music rose to a crescendo and the carousel whirled round faster and faster, I flew by the happy crowd. On every turn I waved to my Mom, who stood smiling as if she were spellbound by my amazing equestrian skill. Too soon my galloping friend slowed to a halt, leaving me immediately begging for just one more ride! Years later, in 1980, when I competed before an international audi- ence in Paris, I experienced the thrill of circling before a crowd once more, but this time on a real horse! Through vaulting, the carousel ride of my childhood became reality, and 5,000 vaulting fans now replaced the carnival crowd. As I performed my freestyle, the impressionistic blur of faces, color and music brought back the childhood delight of those fanciful carousel rides. Perhaps more than any other equestrian sport, vaulting shares the fantasy, beauty and magic of a merry-go-round, but with live horses as partners! The vaulters, color, splendor and music go round and round before a crowd, whirling into a wonderful scene. Today though I still thrill at seeing and riding historic carousels

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • Podolak Multifunctional Riverscapes
    Multifunctional Riverscapes: Stream restoration, Capability Brown’s water features, and artificial whitewater By Kristen Nicole Podolak A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Professor Louise Mozingo Professor Vincent H. Resh Spring 2012 i Abstract Multifunctional Riverscapes by Kristen Nicole Podolak Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Society is investing in river restoration and urban river revitalization as a solution for sustainable development. Many of these river projects adopt a multifunctional planning and design approach that strives to meld ecological, aesthetic, and recreational functions. However our understanding of how to accomplish multifunctionality and how the different functions work together is incomplete. Numerous ecologically justified river restoration projects may actually be driven by aesthetic and recreational preferences that are largely unexamined. At the same time river projects originally designed for aesthetics or recreation are now attempting to integrate habitat and environmental considerations to make the rivers more sustainable. Through in-depth study of a variety of constructed river landscapes - including dense historical river bend designs, artificial whitewater, and urban stream restoration this dissertation analyzes how aesthetic, ecological, and recreational functions intersect and potentially conflict. To explore how aesthetic and biophysical processes work together in riverscapes, I explored the relationship between one ideal of beauty, an s-curve illustrated by William Hogarth in the 18th century and two sets of river designs: 18th century river designs in England and late 20th century river restoration designs in North America.

HUNT Wesley House, 10 Milton Park, Redfield, Bristol, BS5 9HQ Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT With particular reference to Gattyʼs British Sea-Weeds and Eliotʼs ʻRecollections of Ilfracombeʼ, this article takes an ecocritical approach to popular writings about seaweed, thus illustrating the broader perception of the natural world in mid-Victorian literature. This is a discursive exploration of the way that the enthusiasm for seaweed reveals prevailing ideas about propriety, philanthropy and natural theology during the Victorian era, incorporating social history, gender issues and natural history in an interdisciplinary manner. Although unchaperoned wandering upon remote shorelines remained a questionable activity for women, ʻseaweedingʼ made for a direct aesthetic engagement with the specificity of place in a way that conforms to Barbara Gatesʼs notion of the ʻVictorian female sublimeʼ.

  • For Many Years, the Conventional Wisdom on French-Bred Percheron
    by Virginia Kouyoumdjian, France or many years, the conventional wisdom on French-bred FPercheron horses has been that they are big, lumbering crea- tures with too much bone and no gait, products of a sad focus on breeding horses for the meat market. There is no doubt that this came very close to being the truth, although it never was the entire truth. Excellent bloodlines and outstanding horses have always been bred in France but they were rather thin on the ground for a long while. It was after the Second World War that things began to turn sour for the Percheron in France. To start with, there was very little good breeding stock left. A few breeders had managed to hide their best stallions, but they were few and far between. And to make matters worse, tractors took over farming in a big way and the draft horse no longer had a use on the farm. At the same time, buses had replaced coaches which had mainly been pulled by Percherons. In a harsh economic climate, old-time breeders had to face the reality that nobody wanted their horses anymore. Fortunately, there was an outlet that was thriv- ing: the meat market. Although the consumption of horse meat had not tradi- tionally been part of the French diet, it had gained in popularity as a cheaper and nutritious alternative to beef. It is widely said and probably true that the meat market saved not just the Percheron breed but all the nine breeds of draft horse in France. The problem initially was that the Percheron was no longer the perfect meat horse, having over the ages, developed the finer lines and bone structure of a working horse.
