During the Re- naissance, in 1567, by imperial decree of Philip II, the Andalusian was further refi ned into the ultimate classical high school dressage horse at the Royal Stables of Cor- doba. Later Spain and Portugal selected these horses for athleticism, maneuverability and docility. Th e International Andalusian Lusitano Horse Associa- tion (IALHA) is the offi cial United States registry for An- dalusian, Lusitano, and Half Andalusian. As of this year they have 18,000 purebreds and 9,500 half andalusian registered. Th e IALHA is affi liated with USEF and spon- sors many recognized breed shows around the country and fi nalizes with the National Andalusian show in Texas during October. IALHA is also affi liated with USDF and sponsors the Andalusian breed for the USDF All-Breed Awards program. Every year the number of Andalusians and Half Andalusians which participate in this program are increasing. In 2017 there were 129 award winners. For more information please go to: www.ialha.org Th e Eastern Region Andalusian Horse Club (ERAHC) is the proud sponsor of the PVDA Andalusian Breed Award. ERAHC is the oldest Andalusian club in the United States, and its membership territory extends from New England through the Carolinas. Every year the club sponsors a recognized Andalusian Region Champion- ship show at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, VA. Th e show is annually managed at the end of August and includes a one day open recognized USEF/USDF dres- sage show.

  • The Use of the Saber in the Army of Napoleon
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Scholarly Volume, Articles 103 DOI 10.1515/apd-2016-0004 The use of the saber in the army of Napoleon Bert Gevaert Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) Hallebardiers / Sint Michielsgilde Brugge (Belgium) [email protected] Abstract – Though Napoleonic warfare is usually associated with guns and cannons, edged weapons still played an important role on the battlefield. Swords and sabers could dominate battles and this was certainly the case in the hands of experienced cavalrymen. In contrast to gunshot wounds, wounds caused by the saber could be treated quite easily and caused fewer casualties. In 18th and 19th century France, not only manuals about the use of foil and epee were published, but also some important works on the military saber: de Saint Martin, Alexandre Muller… The saber was not only used in individual fights against the enemy, but also as a duelling weapon in the French army. Keywords – saber; Napoleonic warfare; Napoleon; duelling; Material culture; Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA); History “The sword is the weapon in which you should have most confidence, because it rarely fails you by breaking in your hands. Its blows are the more certain, accordingly as you direct them coolly; and hold it properly.” Antoine Fortuné de Brack, Light Cavalry Exercises, 18761 I. INTRODUCTION Though Napoleon (1769-1821) started his own military career as an artillery officer and achieved several victories by clever use of cannons, edged weapons still played an important role on the Napoleonic battlefield. Swords and sabers could dominate battles and this was certainly the case in the hands of experienced cavalrymen.

  • KING SOLOMON's MINES by H
    1 KING SOLOMON'S MINES by H. RIDER HAGGARD DEDICATION This faithful but unpretending record of a remarkable adventure is hereby respectfully dedicated by the narrator, ALLAN QUATERMAIN, to all the big and little boys who read it. AUTHOR'S NOTE The author ventures to take this opportunity to thank his readers for the kind reception they have accorded to the successive editions of this tale during the last twelve years. He hopes that in its present form it will fall into the hands of an even wider public, and that in years to come it may continue to afford amusement to those who are still young enough at heart to love a story of treasure, war, and wild adventure. Ditchingham, 11 March, 1898. POST SCRIPTUM Now, in 1907, on the occasion of the issue of this edition, I can only add how glad I am that my romance should continue to please so many readers. Imagination has been verified by fact; the King Solomon's Mines I dreamed of have been discovered, and are putting out their gold once more, and, according to the latest reports, their diamonds also; the Kukuanas or, rather, the Matabele, have been tamed by the white man's bullets, but still there seem to be many who find pleasure in these simple pages. That they may continue so to do, even to the third and fourth generation, or perhaps longer still, would, I am sure, be the hope of our old and departed friend, Allan Quatermain. H. Rider Haggard. Ditchingham, 1907. 2 INTRODUCTION Now that this book is printed, and about to be given to the world, a sense of its shortcomings both in style and contents, weighs very heavily upon me.
