Hundred Horse Farm (Cherrydale Farm #2)
by Blanche Chenery PerrinAfter their parents are killed in a car crash, twelve-year-old Ann and her younger brother Roddy come to live with Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary at their horse farm in Kentucky. At first their cousin Suzy feels a bit jealous at having to share not only her room with Ann but her beloved horses with both her cousins. Gradually, though, as Ann more and more displays a natural gift for riding, Suzy begins to take an interest in teaching her cousin the fine points of horsemanship. Even Roddy, after first trying to run away, perks up when he's given his own pony to ride and care for. The three cousins find themselves in plenty of adventures: When a prize horse is injured in a storm, Ann decides to look after him and make him hers; the horse-napping of one of the thoroughbreds leads to unexpected consequences. But to Ann and Roddy, the most important thing is being accepted as part of their new family, something that to Ann is closely connected with her own growing love for horses and riding. It isn't until Roddy and Ann enter their first horse show that all the cousins realize the real feelings they have for each other and their beloved Hundred Horse Farm. An exciting true-to-life story by a Thoroughbred racing insider whose real-life family bred and raced Secretariat and Riva Ridge.
Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan
by Matthew C. HaltemanA new approach to veganism "as a joyful celebration of life on this planet" (Bryant Terry) that is a "gateway into our Better" (Kathy Freston)—into a better life for us all Perhaps you&’ve looked at factory farming or climate change and thought, I should become a vegan. And like most people who think that, very probably you haven&’t. Why? Well, in our world, roast turkey emanates gratitude, steak confers virility, and chicken soup represents a mother&’s love. Against that, simply swapping meat for plants won&’t work. In Hungry Beautiful Animals, philosopher Matthew C. Halteman shows us how—despite all the forces arrayed against going vegan—we can create an abundant life for everyone without using animals for food. It might seem that moral rectitude or environmental judgement should do the trick, but they can&’t. Going vegan must be about flourishing, for all life. Shame and blame don&’t lead to flourishing. We must do it with joy instead. Hungry Beautiful Animals is more than philosophy: it&’s a book of action, of forgiveness, of love. Funny and wise, this book frees us joyfully to want what we already know we need.
