    This wonderful tale follows the adventures of a printer's apprentice named Tom Cartwright in Colonial Williamsburg. Not only is Tom caught up in an exciting historical time period but also in an engaging plot. With skillful storytelling, the author weaves in inspiring messages, such as how kind actions to those who don't deserve them can come back to bless you in the most unexpected ways. Tom drew back into the shadow of the wall, for at that moment, the gate opened, and two of the governor's black horses appeared, pulling a large wagon behind them. Tom could just make out the dark forms of several men crouching low on the seat. The horses' hooves must have been padded, for they scarcely made a sound, even on the cobblestones of the courtyard. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Abram Felsch.

    Jet lag, boardrooms, and high-pressure deals. That's what international business brings to mind. But R.F. Hemphill makes us think again. Sharing a series of letters sent to his father during his decade of traveling the world building a billion-dollar company, Hemphill illuminates the always practical, sometimes poignant, and often funny ways we must connect if business is to be done. "If they served you camel hooves for dinner, and you didn't know it until you asked, what part of the camel did you have for breakfast?" "In Islamabad hotels, you must sign a form certifying that you are an infidel and will assuredly go to hell, in order to get room service to bring you a drink. Is this form binding if you die outside of Pakistan?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael C. Gwynne. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/038121/bk_acx0_038121_sample.mp3.

    All the mystery and magic woven through the Snowy Mountains, home of the silver brumbies, is to be found in this story by Elyne Mitchell.  Distant legends tell of horses running with the moonlight. For Burra, Coolawyn and Yarralala, the ghostly shadows are becoming real.... He was beautiful, and he was hers, given forever by the river Yarralala, the foal of the flood. Burra knows this foal will bring trouble. It cannot be Coolawyn's foal - none of the herd has seen a snow-white foal with such strange red eyes before. Who is he really? Why is it now that the drumming hooves of galloping horses are heard in the deepest dark of night? In the beating storms of winter, a mare cries out in desperation, a stallion calls, searching. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Caroline Lee.

    -Warum verformt sich ein Huf?-Was passiert bei der Hufbearbeitung und warum?-Was bedeutet Hufrehe eigentlich genau? -Wie bekomme ich den Hornspalt weg?Das Thema Huf ist für viele Pferdebesitzer mit zahlreichen Fragen verbunden. Sie zu klären kann für das Pferd lebensentscheidend sein: Über den Pferdehuf Bescheid zu wissen ist angewandter Tierschutz.Das vorliegende Handbuch beschreibt detailliert und klar verständlich Funktionen und Form des Hufes sowie die Einflüsse, die auf ihn wirken. Hufsituationen können somit besser eingeschätzt werden - insbesondere, wenn Handlungsbedarf besteht - und die Kommunikation mit Schmieden, Hufbearbeitern und Tierärzten wird erleichtert.Die Vorgänge im Huf werden in ihrem Wechselspiel mit den Muskeln und Sehnen des Pferdebeines erklärt. Die Kenntnis um diese Zusammenhänge schult das Bewusstsein für die Auswirkungen von Exterieur, Haltung, Reiten und Longieren auf Huf und Bewegungsapparat. Dogmen oder auch kurzlebigen Trends rund um den Pferdehuf setzt Kati Jurth einen objektiven und wissenschaftlich ausgerichteten Blick entgegen: So entscheidet sich die Frage nach Beschlag oder Barhuf nicht gemäß einer bestimmten Schule, sondern anhand der aktuellen Bedürfnisse des individuellen Pferdes und gegebenenfalls in enger Abstimmung mit Tiermedizinern. Nicht zuletzt weckt dieses Buch die Begeisterung für das Wunderwerk Huf - wer es gelesen hat, wird Pferde und ihre Bewegungen mit anderen Augen sehen!- Why does a hoof deform?- What happens during hoof treatment and why?- What exactly does laminitis mean? - How do I get rid of the horn ga?The subject of hooves is associated with numerous questions for many horse owners. Clarifying them can be life-decisive for the horse: Knowing about the horse's hoof is animal welfare.This manual describes in detail and in a clearly understandable way the functions and shape of the hoof as well as the influences acting on it. Hooves can thus be better assessed and communication with blacksmiths, farriers and veterinarians is facilitated.The processes in the hoof are explained in their interplay with the muscles and tendons of the horse's leg. Knowledge of these interrelationships trains awareness of the effects of conformation, posture, riding and lunging on the hoof and musculoskeletal system. Kati Jurth counters dogmas and short-lived trends about the horse's hoof with an objective and scientifically oriented view. Thus, the question of shoeing or barefoot is not decided according to a certain school, but on the basis of the current needs of the individual horse and, if necessary, in close consultation with veterinarians. Last but not least, this book awakens enthusiasm for the miracle work that is the hoof - anyone who has read it will see horses and their movements with different eyes!

    The honeymoon is over for Seattle Fish and Wildlife agent Venus Diamond. Literally. Hawaii and her new husband must wait while she heads a massive search into the disappearance of a baby in the Bogachiel wildlife preserve. Natives believe the baby was snatched by "the Unknown", a half-man, half-elk creature of Native American lore. Venus suspects the incident may involve a recent elk poachings in the area, and carcasses found with sawed-off hooves. Human greed and ugliness threaten even the timeless beauty of the vast Northwest wilderness, in the form of illegal slaughter of Roosevelt elk, the harvesting of endangered plants for their healing properties and, as Venus discovers, a fanatical quest for the eternal youth that drives human desires to hideous proportions where no one is safe...not even the most innocent. ungekürzt.

    Violet Jacobs is fearless. At least, that's what the cowboys she snatches from under the hooves of bucking horses think. Outside the ring, she's got plenty of worries rattling her bones: her young son, her mess of a love life, and lately, her family's struggling rodeo. When she takes business into her own hands and hires on a hotshot bullfighter, she expects to start a ruckus. She never expected Joe Cassidy. Joe came to Texas to escape a life spiraling out of control. He never planned on sticking around, and he certainly never expected to call this dry and dusty backwater home. But Violet is everything he never knew he was missing, and the deeper he's pulled into her beautiful mess of a family, the more he realizes this fierce rodeo girl may be offering him the one thing he never could find on his own. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Johanna Parker. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tant/007727/bk_tant_007727_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Jersey Devil is a legendary creature said to inhabit the Pine Barrens of South New Jersey. The Devil is often described as a flying biped with hooves, but there have been several variations encountered by many eyewitnesses over the last 300 years. In 1735, a woman known as Mother Leeds gave birth to her 13th child on a stormy night surrounded by friends (who some claim were witches) who exclaimed "May it be the Devil." The baby appeared normal at birth, but changed into a monster shortly thereafter, growling and shrieking before killing the midwife and then flying up the chimney. It was later seen circling the villages and disappearing into the pines. Take an in-depth look at New Jersey’s official “State Demon” from the myths to the facts with authors, experts, paranormal researchers, and reluctant eyewitnesses who have recently seen the creature. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Marro, Patricia A. Martinelli, Adan Maskery, Steven Cichoski, Laura Kaighn, Manny Mertis, Joan M. Chak.

    The Shipton history is - well - complicated. Some families have a guardian angel. The Shiptons have a guardian ancestor, one who jumps right in, boots first, whenever one of her girls has a problem. Of course, Mother Shipton’s girls aren’t always limited by blood ties. They’re connected by power, shared and used wisely. That power needs to get busy, too, or Katherine’s oilman fiancé is going to disappear for good in the Gulf of Mexico. Katherine’s best friend Sylvia is never going to reconnect with her childhood soul mate, and Irene’s world champion saddle bronc rider fiancé Matt Dillon (yep, that’s his real name) might end up under the hooves of one of those bucking broncos. It’s a good thing Mother has backup in the form of Lillian Shipton, this era’s family troubleshooter. The spider-web of trouble stretching between these three modern Sisters of Prophecy might be too much for even a time-traveling guardian like Mother Shipton to handle on her own!  ungekürzt.
