Holistic health and healing is the journey of getting well and staying well. It is a journey of remembering your innate gifts of communication and reconnecting with the natural wisdom that is available as a gift to us from Nature. As we learn about these skills for our animals, we also learn about them for ourselves. Due to health challenges that I had in my youth and a deep love of nature and emergency care my learning of these skills has been a deep partnership between animals, Nature and my Self. Animals are deeply aware of this way of living when given the natural lifestyle to make healthy choices. This is where the partnership between you and the animals that you care can truly grow and expand. This is where the Holistic Resource Guide for Animals can assist you to open this door or expand your already growing knowledge base.

Awareness of mind, body and spirit plays key roles in our health and that of animals in our care & all of Life. We and animals are intricate part of Nature. Gaia and Spirit hold our blueprints and the wisdom to enjoying wellness and for healing when required.In this book I share years of accumulated knowledge, most of which is applicable to animals and humans. From herbs, homeopathy, flower essences, and energy healing, to more esoteric innate knowledge of subtle bodies, Body Elementals, interdimensional communication, and the sometimes life saving ability to gain divine assistance both in times of peace & challenges.Within its pages you will find tools for emergencies and for healing old traumas. Trauma recovery is an huge challenge for animals and many people these days. The wisdom within the book from basic tools to case studies of real experiences can set you on the path of greater confidence.May All Be Blessed~ Emmaray Kumara, The Nature Whisperer

Older horses are like part of the family. Many owners still take care of the horses and ponies they had when they were younger. And these horses don¿t ask for much¿just a place to live, food to eat, and a little love and attention. But owners can do more for their older equine friends.The aging process in horses, like in humans, affects all of the body¿s tissues, organs, and systems. But when kept in good health, many older horses are sound enough to be ridden well into their twenties, and for some, even into their thirties. However, practical information to help in caring for older horses has been difficult to find. Understanding the Older Horse provides owners with the guidelines necessary to give their equine senior citizens the best care possible.Written by Dr. Robert E. Holland, who drew upon his veterinary work as well as his childhood experiences caring for an older horse, Understanding the Older Horse emphasizes the importance of developing a complete and consistent wellness management program to fit each horse¿s needs. An appendix includes a sample wellness management care plan, a body condition scoring system, and blank charts to track your older horse's vaccinations, deworming, dental and foot care, and medical history.

Known as "The Gray Ghost" because of his color and his amazing ability on the racetrack, Native Dancer won all but one of his twenty-two starts. His lone loss came in the 1953 Kentucky Derby, when he was upset by Dark Star. Native Dancer went on to win the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. But his brilliance was evident even at age two, when he won all nine of his starts and was named co-Horse of the Year, an honor not bestowed on a two-year-old horse again until twenty years later, when Secretariat was named Horse of the Year in 1972. Boyd also examines the human connections in Native Dancer's story, including owner Alfred Vanderbilt, trainer William C. Winfrey, and jockeys Eddie Arcaro and Eric Guerin.

No racehorse of modern times was so good for so long. Racing until the age of nine, Kelso won thirty-nine of sixty-three races. Much like Seabiscuit thirty years earlier, Kelso kept getting better as he got older, earning legions of fans with every passing year.

From the moment they first galloped head-to-head in Saratoga Springs, two chestnut colts showed they were the stuff of racing legend. Alydar, all muscle with a fearsome closing kick, was already the popular favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. Affirmed, deceptively laid-back streamlined elegance, was powered forward by his steely determination not to settle for second place.In the Sport of Kings, the Triple Crown is the most valued prize, requiring a horse to win not just one race, but three: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. And 1978 would not be just for the record books, but also one of the greatest dramas ever played out in the racing world.There were names to conjure with, worthy of the Sport of Kings. The bloodline of Native Dancer. The teen wonderboy jockey Steve Cauthen. The once unbeatable Calumet Farm¿the Damn Yankees of the racing world¿now in eclipse and hoping for a comeback. The newcomer Harbor View Farm¿owned by brash financier Louis Wolfson, who wouldn¿t let even a conviction and a prison sentence for securities violations stand in the way of his dreams of glory. And the racetracks themselves: Belmont, Saratoga, Pimlico. And, of course, Churchill Downs.It has been almost fifty years since Affirmed and Alydar fought for the Triple Crown, during which time only two other horses have won it. Duel for the Crown brings this epic battle to life. Not just two magnificent Thoroughbreds but the colorful human personalities surrounding them, caught up in an ever-intensifying battle of will and wits that lasted until the photo finish of the final Triple Crown race . . . and Alydar and Affirmed leaped into the history books.

Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior.Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions? Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers' anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau's and others scientist's research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs. This book provides an eye-opening window into the world of insect cognition and echoes an important ecological message about bees--they are intelligent creatures sharing the same fragile ecosystem as us.

A brief but engaging look at the fascinating world of ants.In Ants, researcher Joachim Offenberg encourages us to take a closer look at the ant: a small insect, but mighty in number and evolutionary sophistication. Exhibiting highly advanced social structures, the ability to control and manipulate other organisms, and the use of medicinal substances and tools, ants are more like humans than we might think. Like humankind, ants have multiplied on every continent on the globe, except Antarctica. Follow along as Offenberg delves into the complex world of ants: the architecture they build, the exciting societies in which they live, and the clever methods they use to survive.In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.

Seattle Slew was the first horse to win the Triple Crown while undefeated. In retirement, he shone even brighter, with many of his offspring becoming champions on the racetrack.

Reader review'This series is turning into another Midsomer Murders, surprised there is anyone left alive. The author has cleverly made use of the public fascination with reality shows. No more spoilers. Love this series, well worth a read.' Reader reviewA neglected house in the village of Fairmile Green is suddenly descended upon by a veritable army of builders and tradespeople, and the locals are - mostly - enchanted to discover that it has been bought by the new media darling and winner of reality TV show The Glass House, Chadwick McMurrough. It is only when he and his new partner, Bailey Radcliffe, move in that the locals' hostility begins to become evident. After months of relentless noise during the property's transformation, the newly restored peace is shattered, much to the neighbours' chagrin, when McMurrough rashly introduces highly vocal peacocks into his huge rear garden. Ominously, older feelings of resentment towards the couple are stirred up by the nearby presence of both their ex-partners. What with that uncomfortable situation, and the birds' constant crimes causing ructions, the couple's residence undoubtedly makes serious ripples in the usually tranquil pond of village life. And when the attempts on Chadwick McMurrough's life begin, the game is afoot, and the police are called in. It is not long before Detective Inspector Harry Falconer and Detective Sergeant 'Davey' Carmichael have a murder to solve - and things don't stop there …

`A mischievously entertaining crime novel' SIMON BRETTThe tenth instalment in The Falconer Files, Andrea Frazer's insanely gripping village detective series with a delightful slice of humour- and Mulligan's back!!Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Lillian Jackson Braun and Midsomer Murders.There is mischief afoot in the village of Fallow Fold. In the course of just one night, person or persons unknown have been on a spree of vandalism, scratching car paintwork, smashing colourful pots of flowers in full bloom, breaking greenhouse windows and defiling a front door with a racist word, written in spray paint. The police are called, and DI Harry Falconer and DS Davey Carmichael, in the unavailability of less senior personnel, arrive to investigate, but there are no obvious suspects. Then a resident is attacked and knocked senseless as he keeps a nocturnal vigil, hoping to catch whoever is responsible, in the act. These are just the preliminary events, before there is a surfeit of uncharacteristic behaviour from those who live there, and Falconer begins to suspect that there is more to come. When a man who runs the local Bridge Circle seems to disappear, leaving behind him only a senseless note, there is a palpable whiff of evil in the air, which leads to a murderous attack on one of the police officers. This is a time when DI Falconer is forced to search his soul, about what, and who, are important in his life, and this leads to an alteration in his view of life, and what really matters in it.
