    Spear
    "Spectacular-I've been waiting years for this book to exist." -Maria Dahvana Headley, author of Beowulf: A New Translation "If Le Guin wrote a Camelot story, I imagine it would feel like Spear: humane, intelligent, and deeply beautiful. It's a new story with very old bones, a strange place that feels like home." -Alix E. Harrow, author of A Spindle Splintered She left all she knew to find who she could be . . . She grows up in the wild wood, in a cave with her mother, but visions of a faraway lake drift to her on the spring breeze, scented with promise. And when she hears a traveler speak of Artos, king of Caer Leon, she decides her future lies at his court. So, brimming with magic and eager to test her strength, she breaks her covenant with her mother and sets out on her bony gelding for Caer Leon. With her stolen hunting spear and mended armour, she is an unlikely hero, not a chosen one, but one who forges her own bright path. Aflame with determination, she begins a journey of magic and mystery, love, lust and fights to death. On her adventures, she will steal the hearts of beautiful women, fight warriors and sorcerers, and make a place to call home. The legendary author of Hild returns with an unforgettable hero and a queer Arthurian masterpiece for the modern era. Nicola Griffith's Spear is a spellbinding vision of the Camelot we've longed for, a Camelot that belongs to us all.

    Was die Reitbahn uns lehrt
    "Ziel wirklichen Reitens ist: innere Zwiesprache mit dem Pferd", sagt Dorothee Baumann-Pellny. Doch in ihrem Alltag als Reitlehrerin erlebt sie oft das Gegenteil, denn Details werden als unwichtig übergangen oder sind gar nicht bekannt, selbst in der Fachliteratur werden sie kaum thematisiert. Dieses Buch schärft systematisch die Aufmerksamkeit für Feinheiten, die unscheinbar wirken mögen, jedoch der Schlüssel zu erstaunlichen Leistungen von Pferd und Reiter sind. Die eindrückliche Beschreibung von Hilfengebung und Bewegungsabläufen erlaubt es dem Leser, in Gedanken "mitzureiten" und so die Zusammenhänge der Reitlehre zu verinnerlichen - von den Grundlagen bis hin zum Schulgalopp. Ein umfangreicher Fototeil dokumentiert die sorgfältige Grundausbildung des Araberwallachs "Siwango" und verdeutlicht wichtige Momente in der Entwicklung einer Reiter-Pferd-Dyade. Eine empathische Arbeit mit dem Pferd fordert dem Menschen nicht nur reiterliche Fähigkeiten, sondern Selbstdisziplin und Reife ab. Die Autorin zeigt Wege auf, wie der Reiter auch in unseren schnelllebigen Zeiten zu Muße, Hingabe und Konzentration finden kann. So schult die Reitbahn die Verständigung mit dem Pferd und die Persönlichkeit des Menschen gleichermaßen.Ein außergewöhnliches Lehrbuch für Reiter wie Ausbilder!Baumann-Pellny, Reiten"The goal of true riding is an inner dialogue with the horse," says Dorothee Baumann-Pellny. But in her everyday work as a riding teacher she often experiences the opposite, seeing fine details ignored as unimportant or simply not recognised. Even in the literature on the topic they are seldom a theme. This book systematically sharpens the attention to those fine details that may seem inconspicuous but are nonetheless the key to amazing achievements by both horse and rider. The impressive description of riding aids and sequences of movements allow the reader to "ride alongside" in their mind and thus to internalise the interrelationships in the theory of riding - from the basics to the school canter. An extensive section of photographs documents the careful training of the Arab gelding "Siwango" and captures important moments in the development of the rider-horse dyad. Working empathetically with a horse demands of the rider not only technical ability but also self-discipline and maturity. The author demonstrates ways in which riders, even in our own fast-paced times, can find time for relaxation, commitment and concentration.In this way the riding-school teaches an understanding with the horse while at the same time training the rider's personality.An exceptional textbook for both riders and trainers!
