    The unusual sensation of freedom that comes with horseback riding is a large part of the sport's attraction. A burst of adrenaline will race through your veins as you mount a horse and direct it through broad pastures or down twisting trails. You feel an exceptional connection with the natural world as the brisk wind whips past your face, the rhythmic sound of hooves striking the ground reverberates, and the strength beneath you produces an extraordinary bond with the environment. You are able to break free from the constraints of modern life and experience a more fulfilling connection with the horse as well as the natural world when you go horseback riding. 
Riding horses, in contrast to the widespread notion, is not a passive activity; rather, it uses your complete body and is therefore a satisfying form of physical endeavor. Being able to maintain your balance while riding a horse that is moving demands core strength, stability, and coordination. Riding helps to improve posture, develop core strength, and promote total body control because of the continuous activation of muscles during the activity. Riders also enjoy increased flexibility as a result of the process of adapting to the movements of the horse. In addition, the rhythmic motion of the horse's gait offers a low-impact kind of exercise that is beneficial to one's cardiovascular health and increases one's stamina. 
The connection that exists between rider and horse is indescribable. Horses are exceptionally observant animals, and the trust and bond that can develop between a horse and its rider is something absolutely unique and beautiful. You and your horse will develop a strong sense of connection and mutual understanding as you spend time together grooming, feeding, and otherwise taking care of it.

    'After a day on the moors, stubbles, or a woodland day, I like to take up a book beside my fire and read of other good long days past and gone. Such I have tried to make this volume.' – BB
First compiled by BB in 1946, he aimed to create a book which was largely composed of the best descriptive writings on the sport of shooting. These pages are packed with evocative and stirring passages for sportsmen to enjoy after a day out and during the long winter evenings.

The extracts chosen represent some of the greatest writers from Richard Jefferies to the poet John Masefield.

BB himself, one of the most evocative writers on the countryside, is well represented in both his writings and his fine scraperboard illustrations.

In a career spanning over 30 years "Lennie" is one of football's elite belonging to a unique group of managers including Sir Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough and most recently Steve Coppell who have managed over a 1000 league matches in their career. Having never played League football he took his first steps in football management with Plymouth Argyle as Caretaker manager moving onto Lincoln City and then taking the pivotal job in his career as Reserve Manager at Charlton Athletic. He was promoted to the No1 job in 1982 and over the next nine years he became the manager of a club who returned to the top flight after an absence of 29 years and with limited resources managed to keep them there for a further 4 years. Charlton almost went out of business in 1984 and "Lennie" relives the rollercoaster ride of his time at Charlton looking at both the highs and the lows. He moved onto Middlesbrough and took them up to the Premier League in only his second season but after relegation he left the club after helping to recruit his replacement. With further forays at Grimsby Town, Bradford City and Luton Town he moved to Cardiff City and took them up to the Championship before he left the club.

Working with young manager Paul Trollope the pair have steered the club to promotion to the 1st Division and continue to develop their partnership. A fantastic record over his thirty years in management he has seen many other managers and coaches come and go and this book will chart his personal journey in a career full of great highs.
