The Horse God Built tells the amazing and heartwarming story of a Secretariat and the man who knew him best. Most of us know the legend of Secretariat, the tall, handsome chestnut racehorse whose string of honors runs long and rich: the only two-year-old ever to win Horse of the Year, in 1972; winner in 1973 of the Triple Crown, his times in all three races still unsurpassed; featured on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated; the only horse listed on ESPN's top fifty athletes of the twentieth century (ahead of Mickey Mantle). His final race at Toronto's Woodbine Racetrack is a touchstone memory for horse lovers everywhere. Yet while Secretariat will be remembered forever, one man, Eddie "Shorty" Sweat, who was pivotal to the great horse's success, has been all but forgotten--until now. In The Horse God Built, bestselling equestrian writer Lawrence Scanlan has written a tribute to an exceptional man that is also a backroads journey to a corner of the racing world rarely visited. As a young black man growing up in South Carolina, Eddie Sweat struggled at several occupations before settling on the job he was born for--groom to North America's finest racehorses. As Secretariat's groom, loyal friend, and protector, Eddie understood the horse far better than anyone else. A wildly generous man who could read a horse with his eyes, he shared in little of the financial success or glamour of Secretariat's wins on the track, but won the heart of Big Red with his soft words and relentless devotion. In Scanlan's rich narrative, we get a groom's-eye view of the racing world and the vantage of a man who spent every possible moment with the horse he loved, yet who often basked in the horse's glory from the sidelines. More than anything else, The Horse God Built is a moving portrait of the powerful bond between human and horse.

Alone, Ginger Stein gives birth to Jeremy on the floor of her living room while her husband, John, is collapsed and trapped in the wet imprisoning snow outside their door. Struggling against waves of unconsciousness, she reaches for Jeremy only to realize that he has not yet taken his first breath. Ginger and John are now faced with a life of caring for a child whose condition goes beyond extreme physical and mental impairment. Several years later Sandy, Becky and Sam Tarlov's baby, enters Ginger's world. As Sandy grows older, she begins to understand Ginger's hardship, and they develop an empathy for one another. When Sandy and Bingo fall in love, Ginger encourages her to grab the feeling and never let it go. The young couple takes us into the excitement of first love. It is 1952 and just after Sandy and Bingo are married, Bingo and his best friend, Max, are sent to Korea. What happens to them there, tests Sandy to the limits of her strength. She is thrust suddenly into an adult world for which she is not ready. Ginger and Sandy are blindsided by unspeakable misfortune, unbearable tragedy. In his static muteness, Jeremy guides them both. The Horse-God ultimately is a story of the human condition where ordinary people live lives of challenge and resolution.

Two months after a new horse was delivered to her ranch, Marie Timm found herself slammed into the corral dirt, barely escaping a flying hoof aimed at her head. Her ribs were badly bruised, a shoulder was nearly broken, and she sustained a mild concussion. Those injuries paled in comparison to the hurt welling up from her heart. Astounded, confused, and angry that a horse portrayed to her as gentle and willing could be so much the opposite, and when the former owners refused to take this horse back, she began a journey of rehabilitation for him. The goal would only be to procure a new owner or, if necessary, have him humanely destroyed. What ensued was not just a retraining for the horse, but a surprising journey of her own directed by Gods gentle hand and voice. That voice speaks to everyone who is willing to listen.

Horses are one of Gods most fascinating creatures, and quite a few people have a disease called horse fever. Dont worry; it isnt fatalbut there isnt a cure. We love horses because they are beautiful, but do you know they are also wonderful teachers? Thank You, God, for EverythingEspecially Horses explores the lessons horses teach about trust, respect, being appropriate, patience, forgiveness, living in the moment, making good choices, and so much more. It is a dual journey of horsemanship and faith. The insights into horse behavior are fascinating for horse lovers, and the personal experiences shared by the author will fill your hearts and minds with a desire to treasure relationships with horses, friends, family, and, most importantly, God. There are wonderful parallels between what horses teach humans and what God wants us to learn. Perhaps this gracious creaturethe horseis a gift to help us truly understand what God wants to share. Thank you, God, for this glorious, gracious creature, the horse.

The twin deities known by the ancient Greeks as the Dioskouroi, and by the Romans as the Gemini, were popular figures in the classical world. They were especially connected with youth, low status and service, and were embraced by the common people in a way that eluded those gods associated with regal magnificence or the ruling classes. Despite their popularity, no dedicated study has been published on the horse gods for over a hundred years. Henry John Walker here addresses this neglect. His comparative study traces the origins, meanings and applications of the twin divinities to social and ritual settings in Greece, Vedic India (where the brothers named Castor and Pollux were revered as Indo-European gods called the Asvins), Etruria and classical Rome. In the Bronze and Early Iron Ages of Vedic India, the young horse gods are seen to have markedly similar characteristics to their Greco-Roman counterparts. Quick to come to the rescue of those in trouble, the Asvins are ready to assist the old, the weak and the humble. Charting the parallels and correspondences between these ancient myths, Walker uncovers not a single, universal coda but rather a great variety of loosely related beliefs and practices relating to the sibling deities. He demonstrates, for example, that, just as the Dioskouroi were regarded as being halfway between gods and men, so young Spartans – undergoing a fierce and uncompromising military training – saw themselves as standing midway between animal and human. Such diverse and creative interpretations of the myth seem to have played a central role in the culture and society of antiquity.
