'Shandy DVD' | "Shandy: The last of the
Call Leaders" - this 1 hour 10 minute DVD is finally out! It tells a brief story of how Tim Peel broke-in and trained Shandy, a draught mare who lived to the very ripe age of 37, passing away in the year 2000. The video features explanations and demonstrations of how Shandy can be driven as a 'Call Leader', entirely by voice command-no reins used at all in either the slide or the tip dray. There is fairly extensive commentary on harnessing up and assorted other useful information, and it is all supported with captions or subtitles to help emphasise important points throughout the video. |

(incl. post) |

"Enthralled" is an appropriate title for this new book just published in mid 2015 by John Young. For Clydesdale history enthusiasts, there is not one better. It contains a COMPLETE reprint of the great book by James Kilpatrick called "My Seventy Years With Clydesdales" printed in 1949 on Scotland. As well, it includes a complete transcript of Wm Dunlop's famous 'Mingavie address' given to the members of the Clydesdale Horse Society of GB & I in 1935. This speech went for many hours and even the abridged version when printed in the Scottish Farmer newspaper took up many pages in very fine print. This book contains the entire speech/memoirs typed from the original draft that Dunlop handed to John Young's grandfather after he'd stepped down from the podium that night. |

"Jinkers and Whims" is a terrific book by Jack Bradshaw all about the logging industry in West Australia. If you like really detailed picture books, or great text, or both, this is a must-have. Jack spent most of his working life working for the WA Dept of Agriculture, and after retirement he researched and assembled this great 'pictorial essay' of about 150 years of Aussie logging & timber history. |
