This article is from Journal of equine science, volume 19.

To obtain basic knowledge about selecting horses for therapeutic riding, the influence of equine conformation on rider oscillation and relationships between these factors and the evaluation on horses as the therapeutic riding were studied. Thirty-five riding horses were used. Equine conformation was estimated by 24 indices. Rider oscillation was measured by an accelerometer fixed at the rider’s waist. The spatial position of the oscillation was estimated by a double integration of the acceleration. Horses were evaluated for therapeutic riding by a Riding for the Disabled Association instructor as a rider. Evaluations were on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score for 27 items. Horses were classified into 4 groups: the short and narrow, short and wide, tall and narrow, and tall and wide. The frequencies of rider oscillation both at walk and trot were higher, and the vertical and longitudinal amplitudes at trot were smaller, on short horses than on tall horses. The vertical amplitude at walk was smaller and the lateral amplitude at trot was larger on wide horses than on narrow horses. Short horses could be used for the rider who requires side walkers. Wide horses could be used for relieving muscular tension and for the rider who could not maintain good balance on the horse. Short and wide horses should be suitable for therapeutic riding.

December Releases


Knives in the South (The Sir Robert Carey Mysteries Omnibus) by P.F. Chisholm and Diana Gabaldon

Release date - 14, December, 2017


Synopsis -


1592. Sir Robert Carey abandoned the ambition and treachery of Queen Elizabeth I's court to take up the post of Deputy Warden of the West March.

The lace-collared, pearl-sashed courtier found himself curiously at home amongst the horse-thieves, kidnappers and murderers of the Anglo-Scottish border, but now, to his chagrin, he's been summoned back to London. Before he can return to Carlisle and the joys of the raiding season, Carey must find his missing brother, clear the family name, navigate a feud between playwrights, identify a badly decomposed body washed up on the Queen's privy steps, and investigate a murder some thirty years past...

Plunging readers straight into the racous world of late sixteenth-century border reivers and unfettered Elizabethan intrigue, Knives in the South is the second chronicle of Sir Robert Carey's adventures, collecting the novels A Plague of Angels, A Murder of Crows and An Air of Treason under one volume.

A Hope Divided (The Loyal League 2) by Alyssa Cole
Release date - 28, November, 2017


Synopsis -


For three years of the War Between the States, Marlie Lynch has helped the cause in peace: with coded letters about anti-Rebel uprisings in her Carolina woods, tisanes and poultices for Union prisoners, and silent aid to fleeing slave and Freeman alike. Her formerly enslaved mother's traditions and the name of a white father she never knew have protected her--until the vicious Confederate Home Guard claims Marlie's home for their new base of operations in the guerilla war against Southern resistors of the Rebel cause.

Unbeknowst to those under her roof, escaped prisoner Ewan McCall is sheltering in her laboratory. Seemingly a quiet philosopher, Ewan has his own history with the cruel captain of the Home Guard, and a thoughtful but unbending strength Marlie finds irresistible.

When the revelation of a stunning family secret places Marlie's freedom on the line, she and Ewan have to run for their lives into the hostile Carolina night. Following the path of the Underground Railroad, they find themselves caught up in a vicious battle that could dash their hopes of love--and freedom--before they ever cross state lines.

The Ballad of Black Bart by Loren D. Estleman

Release date - 14 November 2017


Synopsis -


The Ballad of Black Bart: a riveting western novel from Spur Award-Winning Author Loren D. Estleman.

Between July 1875 and November 1883, a single outlaw robbed the stagecoaches of Wells Fargo in California's Mother Lode country a record of twenty-eight times. Armed with an unloaded shotgun, walking to and from the scenes of the robberies, often for hundreds of miles, and leaving poems behind, the infamous Black Bart was fiercely hunted.

Between robberies, Black Bart was known as Charles E. Bolton, a distinguished, middle-aged man who enjoyed San Francisco's entertainments in the company of socialites drawn to his quiet, temperate good nature and upper-class tastes.

Meanwhile, James B. Hume, Wells Fargo's legendary chief of detectives, made Bart's apprehension a matter of personal as well as professional interest.

The Ballad of Black Bart is a duel of wits involving two adversaries of surpassing cleverness, set against the vivid backdrop of the Old West.

The Macedonian by Nicholas Guild

On a cold, snow-swept night in the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon, a son is born to the king’s principal wife. His mother hates him for being his father’s child. His father hardly notices him. With two elder brothers, obscurity seems his destiny. The boy is sent off to be nursed by the chief steward’s wife.

Yet, in a moment of national crisis, when Macedon is on the verge of being torn apart, the prince raised by a servant finds himself proclaimed the king.

This is the story of Philip, prince and king, the forgotten boy who rose to save his country and became a legend in his own lifetime. His extensive military conquests across the Greek peninsula would pave the way for expansion under his son, Alexander the Great.

Dark Winds Rising (Queen Branwen 2) by Mark Noce

Release date - 5th, December , 2017


Synopsis -


Mark Noce returns with his second book about the Braveheart-like Queen Branwen in this epic historical series set in Medieval Wales.

Set in a time and era in which very little reliable written records or archeological remains have survived, Mark Noce bases his novel on primary sources such as St. Gildas (a Welsh cleric of the era), mythology from the Welsh Mabinogion, and Arthurian literature from Malory to T.H. White. Although the characters and some of the place names are fictional, the physical environment, the historical details, and the saga of the Welsh people is real.

Queen Branwen finds her world once again turned upside down as Pictish raiders harry the shores of her kingdom. Rallying her people once more, she must face her most dangerous foe yet, the Queen of the Picts. Ruthless and cunning, the Pictish Queen turns the Welsh against each other in a bloody civil war, and Branwen must attempt to stop her before her country threatens to tear itself apart.
All the while Branwen is heavy with child, and finds her young son’s footsteps dogged by a mysterious assassin. Branwen must somehow defeat the Picts and save her people before the Pictish Queen and a mysterious assassin threaten to destroy their lives from the inside out.

Reminiscent of classics like The Mists of Avalon and A Game of Thrones, and newer popular titles like Hild, this continuation of Branwen's story combines elements of mystery and romance with Noce's gift for storytelling.

Here I will be posting a short list - even if I try I am never going to be able to find and follow all the books published in a year - in fact if any of you hear of one or know of a book being published please let me know so I may include it - every month of Historical Fiction novels that are being released during that month.


I will try and do the same for the other genres but it might take some time.

Hi!!!


Welcome and may I say that it is so lovely to see another face! What are some of your favorite series/novels?
67

To kick off this section, I thought that I would post an article that I wrote a while back after a rather long and admittedly interesting discussion about how much of an author self should be in a work.


The quote in the title of this piece has been around for a long long time and says it all really. Its first incarnation is from Roman times, the rhetorician Quintilian (35 AD – 100 AD) said, “The perfection of art is to conceal art.” Another unattributed and probably more contemporary version says, "ars est celare artem" or “True art is to conceal art.” In more recent times Oscar Wilde said, “To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim." It is also the what inspired this piece.


While the sentiment of the art in art being to conceal the artist's hand within a piece may seem contrary, it is one that I can agree with wholeheartedly. When you write, the reader must not see the writer behind the words, only the world, the information that you, the writer, are trying to convey to the reader.


This does not mean that I do not believe that creativity comes from the self, or that a writer should not have a "voice", just as an artist has a personal and unique style, writers have their own way of creating. But self must never get in the way of the subject. Think of it as... As if the self is a frame, it is there to hold the subject, to allow others to easily view the subject, but you don't want them looking at the frame instead of what is being framed. In fact, they should be totally unaware of the frame, the words used to create the piece; all they should be aware of is the subject, what image, feeling, does it bring to them. What it took to create it, what holds it, even who made it should not be impacting the reader or getting between the reader and the subject.


I would say that writing, as with every work of art, should be "selfless" in that it shouldn't ever be about the creator. Rather it should be about the subject. They use their creativity to give voice to the subject matter. The creator's job, be they an artist, a writer, or a photographer, is to express their chosen subject matter in a way that others can connect with it. The fact is that you cannot expect a full connection to occur with the creators self.


In order to truly touch a viewer, you need to have something that will touch upon one of the few universal emotions that we all have. This I personally think is one of the biggest responsibilities of a creator, to create something bigger than just themselves, to give something to the world, to the people that will come across their work. You give, not in the hope of gaining some reward but to change a little of the world around you. Hopefully for the good.


Once again the creator has to step back, let the viewer find their own way about things. All we can do is give them something worth looking at, worth reading. We have to let go of the self and create something timeless, something that is more than just our personal lives splashed about.


Having the reader concentrate on you, the writer serves no purpose except take the readers attention away from where it should be, on the work, and not on the artist.


For it really is art to conceal art.

Hello! I love connecting with authors and readers, so this sounds like a great place to do that. I really like the sound of what Fantastical Books Forum is trying to do here, so I'm happy to be a part of it. :) I've been an avid reader ever since I was a young girl. Although I'm pretty open and read a variety of genres, my favorites are fantasy, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
