Makes horse nutrition simple........2004-05-19
This is an excellent book on horse nutrition. It makes nutrition easy to understand and information is presented in an easy to read format. Nutrition concepts (such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, ATP, enzmymes, minerals, vitamins, etc.) and how they are metabolized by the horse are explained. Also included is a chapter dedicated to MSM, DMG, Chondroitin Sulfates, Glucosamine, and Bromelain. The book details how much protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, etc. your type of horse needs (broken down into maintenance horse, pregnancy, lactating, growing, performance, or stallion) and how your horse's health, care and general condition contribute to his ability to absorb these nutrients. Each chapter includes charts highlighting the information presented. Additionally, at the end of the book are charts and formulas to help you determine exactly how much your horse needs of each nutrient and how much he is currently receiving in his diet. They were very easy to use, and this will allow you to see where his diet is deficient. This is a great book for the horse owner who is interested in horse nutrition, wants to optimize what he is feeding his horse, and is curious as to the benefits (or not) of all those supplements on the market.
While you can purchase either the paperback or hardcover here on amazon, if you go to the publisher (www.pixyjackpress.com), the author will sign the book for you. It's a nice touch.
Thank heavens--no hocus pocus!.......1999-12-29
This book offers a very simple, concise look at feeding horses, with an emphasis on SIMPLE. Forage is kept as the cornerstone of the equine diet, and a simple look at protein and mineral requirements is given. Written with U.S. horseowners in mind, this book differs from many books based in the UK, where grain types are much different.
Very entertaining to read, even for a "city girl"........1999-05-24
Rex Ewing captures the reader's interest easily with his relaxed writing style. He makes horse nutrition sound simple and there isn't a lot of confusing technical terms. A straight-to-the-point book.
A proper feeding reference for all horse owners.......1999-01-15
Much more is involved in optimum feeding of a horse than several flakes of hay, a mineral block, and can of grain. Rex Ewing approaches horse nitrition in a thorough, comprehensive manner by explaining the role and importance of nutrients from carbohydrates, fat, and protein to macro and trace minerals to vitamins. He discusses nutritional requirements and the effects of proper and improper nutrition on the maintenance horse, performance horse, stallion, brood mare, nursing foal, weanlings, and yearlings. Whether your horse is healthy or its coat lacks luster, or it displays a loss of appetite or energy, or a weight loss; this book will be helpful. Summary charts are provided throughout and provide a valualbe reference and summary tool. Rex's extensive background and research can benefit the new as well as the veteran horse owner.

A Pilgrims Almanac.......2007-09-07
Everything Edward Hays does has surprises. He comes from a place outside the convential and displays deep spiritual understandings. Many of his pages makes one smile if not chuckle.
Breakfast with Ed Hays.......2000-05-11
I keep a copy of "The Pilgrims Almanac" on my kitchen table. Every morning I read the reflection and/or story that is on that date. This book is a collection of facts and fiction for each day of the year. Sometimes the story can be about something that I've never thought about before, like the person who invented the stoplight or the first telephone operator. With the fact/story of the day, Ed Hays offers a reflection . I particularly enjoyed the one about the man who invented the stoplight and how instead of rushing through the yellow lights of our life, we should be patient and reflective at those times. I love how his reflections are on topics that anyone can relate to. I've given this book to many of my friends and they have also enjoyed it. The nice part is that even though the stories don't change, the fact that I haven't read them for a year is refreshing. This book offers a daily reflection that is not too long or involved. It reminds me each morning that God is there helping people through their every day ups and downs. I wholeheartedly endorse this book and recommend it to give to friends as a gift. Ed Hays has also written other wonderful books such as "Twelve and a Half Keys" and "Prayers for the Domestic Church".
Customer Reviews:
Good book but lacks proper documentation.......2005-09-22
This book is filled with interesting anecdotes and tidbits of information. However, the lack of footnotes and documentation for much of the content is horrendous.
Solid history on the frontier soldier.......2000-06-27
As I cast about for research material for an upcoming book, several American Indian War experts recommended Don Rickey's book as the "Bible" on the frontier soldier's life. I am not an Indian War buff, but I can tell you this book is chocked full of details and insights that are not likely to be found collected in any other single volume.
The book is broken down into logical chapters, from a description of the Western troubles to the typical routines of the soldiers' discharges. We are treated to what might be some of the last in-depth interviews with Indian War veterans and, as has been pointed out, we begin to get a feel of the frontier soldier's daily life as 99 percent boredom and physical labor and 1 percent terror.
Many books have been written around the edges of this subject, and several were awful in their historical value. But this is a solid history, well-researched and full of interesting anecdotes to boot!
An in-depth look at the Soldiers serving in the west........1998-11-17
This book really enlightens the reader with interesting personal narratives. The book also dispells the myth of a "John Wayne, She wore a Yellow Ribbon" frontier Army. It picks up from the end of the Civil War and leads you straight into the Spanish American War. A wonderful book for those interested in in the daily lives of the soldiers form typical daily lives to military justice. This book also helped with my summer Interpretation job at Fort Mackinac. Michigan were we portray 1880's U.S. Army.
Customer Reviews:
Disappointing.......2005-06-16
After reading the positive reviews on this devotional guide, I looked forward to using it this past Lent. While some thoughts and stories were illuminating, by and large I found the book disappointing. In places, the author goes on at some length over subjects that are only marginally to the point. Some of the concepts were simply hokey, some were downright tasteless, and I didn't really find any deep wisdom to counter-balance them. I wouldn't say I found the book spiritually off-base. I just found it kind of insipid and not really the kind of guide that makes for a spiritually rich Lent.
The journey of a thousand prayers..........2004-03-19
Very few of us indeed are fortunate enough to have our own labyrinths in our home or garden. Indeed, few of us live in the proximity of cathedrals or churches that feature such spiritual design and architecture as the labyrinth -- near my home (by which I mean, an hour away) there is a church that has a 'portable' labyrinth, a large-scale, roll-up carpet with the labyrinth imprinted on it. The difficulty there then becomes finding a space large enough to contain it.
Fortunately, we needn't rely exclusively on the physical world for a labyrinth-ine experience. With books such as Edward Hays' 'The Lenten Labyrinth', one may follow a spiritual labyrinth, one in which the traveling of the path is in the heart and soul.
Of course, the labyrinths of old cathedrals were meant to be used a prayer devices, an oft-forgotten aspect. Labyrinths are not necessarily mazes -- the great labyrinth of Chartes Cathedral, used as the model for graphics in this text, is not a maze for confusion, but rather a winding path leading ever closer to the centre; one may circle back and forth (much like life), but one moves inexorably toward the centre -- in the labyrinth, it is the physical centre, and for the Lenten progress, it is Easter, the day of resurrection.
Hays' book is a book of gentle readings and meditations, one for each day of Lent. There are prayers, scripture passages, stories, and images to accompany and add flesh to the journey; each day's step need take no longer than a few minutes, or can be used for a longer period of prayer and meditation, but the progress through the Lenten remains steady and progressive (in the moving-forward sense).
In an interesting twist, Hays leaves the Chartes labyrinth of the first five weeks of Lent for other graphic images from Palm Sunday through Easter. Palm Sunday presents a more modern and familiar labyrithine structure, the cross-word puzzle. Hays presents an interesting tie-in between the ideas of puzzles and prayer. The following days include various Celtic cross and chalice mazes, finally into an Escher-like Celtic knot on Holy Saturday, the same graphic of which is overprinted with an open tomb on Easter morning.
This is a nice little book to accompany one on the Lenten journey, leading through the labyrinth of life to the centre of the soul, there to meet God.
Challenging and Off the beaten track.......2001-05-17
This devotional leads you into a spiritual quest with off beat stories and parables. Thought provoking and challenging is the best way to describe this book. I will use it again!
An Awsome Journey!.......2001-04-12
I have been doing annual Lenten reflections for years but this is the best one yet! This book conceptually creates wonderful images to reflect upon during your journey. Everyday I was able to pull out tangible pieces from this book to either put into action or hold close to my heart. I just bought 5 more copies, one to give to our parish Priest and the other to save for next year's Lenten season as gifts for my husband and dear friends. I would most highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to focus their inner spirituality on the true meaning on Lent. I will tuck this book under my arm for my continuing walk with Christ. God Bless.
A journey not taken.......2001-03-18
Edward Hays writes of the Chartres-style labyrinth as a symbol for a maze. He apparently does not understand that the symbol he refers to is a single path labyrinth rather than a multipath maze. He misses much of the richness of this symbol and does not understand its potential as a profound spiritual tool. The use of the labyrinth can be very helpful as Christians prepare themselves spiritually during Lent. Sadly, this book does little to elucidate the use of the labyrinth in Lenten spiritual preparation. I would recommend Walking a Sacred Path by Rev. Lauren Artress as a much more useful book in the use of the labyrinth as a tool to support spiritual growth.

Book Description
The remarkable story of Ing Hay, the "China Doctor" who became the most famous and capable frontier physician in the John Day country of Eastern Oregon. Serving patients from the late 19th century to 1948, he was a traditional Chinese physician who, with his herbal medicines, worked more cures than the laboratory-oriented doctors of the area. Illustrated. 160 pages.
Amazon.com
Hay Day is the farm stand that grew and grew. It started in well-heeled Westport, Connecticut, in 1978, just as everyone's interest in good food was picking up. Eventually, the founding Van Rensselaer family merged their Hay Day Markets with a chain of stores, Sutton Place Gourmet, which together serve customers from Washington, D.C., to New England.
Now, thanks to food writer Kim Rizk, you can make 250 of their simple, much-loved dishes at home. Start the day with Jam-Filled Corn Muffins, chill out with refreshing Cucumber Watermelon Cooler, comfort friends with healthy Mediterranean Turkey Loaf made with oats, and end an elegant meal with decadent Berries in Passion Fruit Cream, which requires the very best fruit, in season. Step-by-step instructions and an informal, relaxed style make this a delightful and enjoyable book to cook from. Punctuated with line drawings and chatty asides like advice on how to ripen pears and how to select good fontina cheese, ideas and inspiration are endless. The Hay Day Country Market Cookbook is crammed with tips for entertaining and suggests many fabulous full menus. The Fireside Apres Ski Menu, with Polenta Crostini, Mediterranean Bean Soup, and Gingered Pear Crispis is a meal that will delight and impress your guests.
With its emphasis on the freshest of ingredients and warm, country-inspired cooking, you'll revisit the Hay Day Country Market Cookbook time after time. --Dana Jacobi
Book Description
Since 1978, when the first of its country markets opened in Westport, Connecticut, Hay Day has been a celebrated purveyor of the finest farmstand produce, breads, pastries, cheeses, comestibles, provisions, and take-out fare. Twenty years later, after having helped shape America's culinary revolution, Hay Day presents 250 of the recipes that keep its customers coming back again and again. Reflecting its passion for quality, freshness, inventiveness, and character, The Hay Day Country Market Cookbook mirrors the way the country cooks and eats today. It's not about trends or gimmicks, but about ingredients and a love for sound, deep, palate-pleasing flavor. About the delicious simplicity of Veal Chops in Mustard Sauce, the tangy surprise of Lemon Chevre Chicken, the perfection of the perfect Maryland Crab Cake. It's about the sophisticated--Wilted Radicchio with Gorgonzola and Walnuts--and the down-to-earth--Chunky Tomato and Bacon Soup. And it's about the integrity of cooking in concert with the seasons--New Potatoes and Fiddlehead Ferns in spring, Grilled Duck with Citrus Cherry Relish in summer, Wild Rice and Cranberries in fall, Rosy Root Vegetable Chili for the dead of winter. Now even without a Hay Day in town, you can still get the best market-based, seasonal dishes around.

Delicious, Fresh, Original Recipes.......2007-05-13
I received this cookbook as a gift, and bought another copy for a friend from Amazon. This is my favorite cookbook. Everything I have made is delicious, fresh and has an original twist. The recipes are simple to make and fabulous. Everyone that eats one of these dishes asks me for the recipe.
My favorite cookbook.......2001-02-28
I heartily agree with all the reviews. This cookbook is wonderful. I had never heard of the Hay Day Country Market (being a midwesterner) but was intrigued by the book. I bought it a year ago and it is a constant reference. I have even given this book as gifts to 5 people and each has loved. My particular favorites are the Pecan Crusted Chicken and Homemade Ginger Brew. Buy it and enjoy!!
Let nature inspire you........2001-01-31
The best thing about this cookbook is that the recipes are simple yet elegant. The fresher the ingredients, the better the turnout, of course. The book is divided by an introduction explaining the Hay Day story, breakfast or brunch items, appetizers, soups and breads, salads, main dish entrees, vegetable and grain dishes and desserts. One day this past summer, I made the green beans, tomatoes and pine nuts and I can't stop making them because they are so good. Our other favorites are the honey-mustard ham, BLT Pasta Salad, Peppered Tuna with Port and Pears and the Maryland Crabcakes (being from Baltimore, I can attest that these crabcakes are pretty authentic to what a crabcake is intended to be). The Belgian Chocolate Brownies are to die for. The recipes are not complicated and the ingredients are not hard to find. If you like to keep your cooking simple but still wonderful, give this cookbook a try. You won't regret it.
Excellent everyday recipes.......1999-12-29
If you love the Hay Day Market store, you'll love this collection of everyday recipes based on their top selling breads, soups and salads, desserts & main dishes. These classic recipes are anything but bland Betty Crocker and are easy to make and impressive to serve. I've tried several recipes already and each one is better than the next.
Yummy, fresh food.......1999-07-20
I grew up near Westport, Connecticut, so I was already a fan of Hay Day before getting this book- this book has hundreds of ideas on how to use fresh, yummy fruits and vegetables. The first dish I made was the Mediterranean Crouton Salad- and it was delicious. This is the one-book does all cookbook I have been searching for- my bible.

Pack a bag...come along for a ride!.......2000-11-21
I'm so thankful that Mary at our seminary bookstore recommended this book to me for my Lenten journey--my first introduction to Ed Hays. Though soundly grounded in the traditional and historic of Lent, from both Old and New Testaments, Hays then intriguingly and quite appropriately weaves tradition with the new--hobo language and symbols--which daily gives fresh perspectives and new direction to one's spiritual journey of transformation. And that doesn't have to be only at Lent! Lenten Hobo Honeymoon would also be a good resource for pastors of most denominations: it inspired my best sermon, including a unique Ash Wednesday liturgy and ritual.
