The Mark of Clover
Mark of Clover contains a delightful collection of tales and lore covering 1000 years of Hungarian Warmblood history. The exciting and intriguing stories span the period from the Ninth Century through the end of World War II. Each chapter portrays individual horses with the "Mark of Clover," a unique birthmark belonging to a strain of horses originating from the Western Eurasian steppes. For any horse-lover, this is a fascinating book worth reading, depicting devoted and brave horses and humans.First Paragraph: "In the ninth century, before they entered middle Europe, under the leadership of the Chieftain Arpad, and settled in the rich valley of the Danube that is now Hungary, the Magyars lived in an Asiatic land that suffered a great drought. The Taltos, or High-Priest, slaughtered many snow-white horses and kept the sacrificial fires burning day and night to appease the evil spirits that kept the rain away from the pastures and fields, but it was all in vain, for no rain fell upon the parched and barren lands. (Subsequent paragraph...) The Magyar's were a horse-loving nation, and each family sought to surpass the other in breeding a superior line of animals. The competition was strong, for some years, Tokos had been the undisputed owner of the best breed. These horses were fast, cunning, and brave. In endurance and speed tests against the other Magyar animals, they always won. Tokos was taking all of his horses with him, for none was ever sold or given away. A few mares were carefully bred each year, and, if the colts were not perfect or did not live up to the standard set by Tokos, there were destroyed. Many of these horses bore a strange sign upon the tips of their muzzles, a mark in the shape of a four-leaf clover. It was rumored among the Magyars that it was the mark of the Gods, and, as long as the Gods favored the clan of Tokos, no one could hope to breed a better horse."

Animal Healing
"If you enjoy animal stories as much as I do, you're in for a great read. . . . You'll witness the health and happiness of these animals being transformed through the hands and heart of Briah Anson and her passionate application of Rolfing(R) Structural Integration. . . . It's an incredible menagerie: cats, dogs, and horses, as well as guinea pigs, llamas, eagles, an owl, a rooster, a cougar, and, perhaps most intriguing of all, an up close and personal encounter with a wild moose named Mike." Paul Schurke, Outdoor adventurer and educator; coauthor with Will Steger of North to the Pole and author of Bering Bridge: The Soviet-American Expedition from Siberia to Alaska; Director, Wintergreen Dogsled Lodge and Arctic Adventures, Ely, Minnesota "As Briah Anson's collection of nonhuman patients clearly demonstrate, Rolfing(R) Structural Integration isn't just for people, though a person's appreciation of its benefits for themselves often leads to an interest in trying this form of body work on their animals. . . . Each animal's emotional and locomotor response to Rolfing described in this book strongly suggests a true and sustained benefit." Julia H. Wilson, DVM, Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine; Associate Professor, Large Animal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota "Briah Anson shares her experience, insight, and her love for all creatures in these amazing stories of her quest for healing through Rolfing(R). . . . After each session, the ravages of [the eagles'] permanent disabilities seemed to have less influence on their performance. . . . The Rolfing sessions improved their overall disposition and health. . . . I'm grateful to Briah for her extensive dedication and the volunteering of her time and talent given to the eagles at the National Eagle Center." MaryBeth Garrigan, Executive Director of Eagle Watch, Inc. (2000-05); Program and Development Director, National Eagle Center (2005-09), Wabasha, Minnesota "Rolfing(R) Structural Integration, a unique myofascial approach to assist the body in healing numerous musculoskeletal and other issues, is being introduced to the animal world through Briah Anson's fascinating book, Animal Healing. Through case reports, anecdotes, and stories from her pioneering practice applying Rolfing SI to animals, Briah offers convincing evidence that the benefits of this work may be applicable to animals as well. This book is an excellent introduction to Rolfing Structural Integration and its potential application to nonhuman animals. Allen M.

Midas Living with a Bird in the Hood
Midas is an African gray parrot that was rescued in 2007. After posting some of our conversations on social media, many friends fell in love with the "cantankerous" old bird whose ability to be part of the conversation. He may be the cause of frustration one day but smiling about it the next because we live in the hood; we don't know what he is going to request or, should I say, demand at any given time. He has stopped us from arguing and made us laugh, left us wondering where he heard that from (as if we didn't know) and kept us in constant awe at his many phrases. There will only be one time when we cry because of Midas, which also means that the house will be very quiet. I hope that time doesn't happen for a very long time.

Innocent Victims
In December 2002, Meryl Harrison moved a large audience to tears at the BBC Animal Awards Ceremony, having been flown over from her native Zimbabwe to receive their Special Award. There she told her tale of the rescue of countless animals caught up in five years of the Zimbabwean land invasions, as farmers and families were forced from their homes to make way for Mugabe's 'war veterans'. Many had to leave their animals behind, and it was Meryl's mission on behalf of the under-funded ZNSPCA to go into these destroyed farmsteads to rescue countless domestic animals and wounded livestock.Nandi, pictured on the book-cover of this heart-warming account of her animal rescues, is just one of the many ordinary pet dogs she managed to save.The bravery of Meryl and her small team, as they overcame huge obstacles to find and return these traumatised pets to their loving owners, has earned her world-renown. But she didn't do it for any human praise - she did it for the animals, the innocent victims of human folly.

Samson and Delilah
Dogs are forever. They are not to be tossed aside because they don't fit our version of a perfect dog. They kiss away our tears, cuddle next to us when we are sad, greet us with excitement and high spirits, even if we are in a bad mood, and stay by our side in times of trouble and tears. They know very well the meaning of the words, "till death do us part." Based on true events that happened to Elizabeth and her husband, David, Samson and Delilah, is a heartwarming story about two very different, adorable beagles, and how they each captured their guardians' hearts and formed a bond that would be cherished always. This journey shows how we love and protect those closest to our hearts. With humor and humility, the author reveals what it's like to open your heart to not one, but two loveable beagles. The story also shares the challenges encountered in living with two dogs in a New York City apartment and the joy of having two quirky dogs like Samson and Delilah.

Sharing the antics and adventures of Samson and Delilah, this book shows how to work through the challenges that may arise in that most valuable and rewarding of relationships. Most importantly, it will also inspire people to take action to rescue a dog-maybe two.

This involved countless hours of dedication to prove the accuracy of the Equine Grid. The purpose of this book is to educate both experienced and novice horse owners to identify health issues with a non-invasive tool. This book contains eight chapters of color photos showing equine eyes. Plus, you get useful information showing you how to identify markings and zones that reveal existing, or potential, health challenges. This book also includes a copy of the Equine Grid, the invaluable map of the equine eye. This valuable information is not meant to be a substitute for the work performed by veterinarians.
