Choosing “The Narrow Path” or “The Road Less Traveled” can often leave us feeling alone regarding our resolve to be Christ’s follower. Most of our world no longer knows what moral standards are or even the definition of what it means to be virtuous. If we are careful about whose compass we follow, we can avoid heading down the wrong path. With the Holy Spirit as our guide, the Holy Bible is the Christians’ compass and offers wisdom as we seek every virtue shining the light of Jesus to a world that desperately needs Him. Though we think of purity and kindness as the definition of virtue, it is much more. Being virtuous is a way of life that focuses our goals on excellence. These goals describe who we are because of our actions, which is what we do, and say. For a Christian, virtue ultimately demonstrates the love of God that beams Christ’s light to a world of suffering and pain. God calls us to work out this perfection to be impactful in our relationships because our lives are a ministry to ALL we touch throughout our daily happenings. If one is to be considered virtuous, their life must reflect a high standard with the primary goal of being excellent. Notice I said the “goal of being excellent.” Excellence does not lead to perfection because no one is, no matter how hard we try. The goal of adopting a standard of living out of biblical principles guides us to look like Jesus. Growing in our relationship with Him is the result. Virtuous people not only know what is right but also live it out. They go the extra mile to be intentional in what they speak, do, and value. They have the purpose with the opportunity to honor God as they reflect His image to the world around us. It’s a noisy, enticing world that pulls us in many directions, rather than closer to God. Being tuned into God through daily conversation allows us to listen to the Holy Spirit. As we ride down life’s trail, the Holy Spirit is here to help us make decisions that are God’s best for us. In Virtues of Horsemen, author Melinda Buckallew Villarreal shares how walking with God is in everything you do, think, and say. By grasping biblical virtues, she demonstrates how you can turn your Christian walk into worship. Through scripture and her personal experiences with both horses and physical limitations, this devotional teaches you how to transform daily repetition, struggles, or pain into lessons. Villarreal communicates that church on Sunday is not enough, and she leaves you wanting more of God in your life. Each devotional includes application questions to stretch you and to encourage your growth with God and your daily walk with the Holy Spirit.

Wherever cattle have been raised on a large scale horsemen have been there to handle them; and wherever these horsemen have existed they have left an indelible mark upon the history of the land. Frequently they have been ignorant, violent, and brutal. Always they have been vigorous and individualistic. They have taken their herds into frontier areas, opened new country, fought and driven off earlier inhabitants, participated in revolutions, battled among themselves, and generally lived lives which, colorful and somewhat frightening to their contemporaries, have become robust legends to those who followed them. Edward Larocque Tinker portrays the life of these people in the two Americas, the conditions which created them, and those that ultimately destroyed or transformed them. "Ever since I was a small boy, when my parents returned from Mexico bringing me a charro outfit complete with saddle and bridle, Latin America has beckoned with the finger of romance," Mr. Tinker recalls. "As soon as I was old enough, I made many trips to Mexico and, in the days of Porfirio Díaz, learned to know it from the border to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. During the Revolution I was with General Álvaro Obregón when he was a Teniente Coronel in his Sonora Campaign, and, although I was only a lawyer on a holiday, took care of his wounded in the battel of San Joaquín. Later, in Pancho Villa's train, I was present at Celaya when he was defeated by Obregón. "Always an ardent horseman, I worked many a roundup with the vaqueros of Sonora and Chihuahua, and with the cowboys of our Southwest. . . . "I saw the similarity between the American cowboy, the Argentine Gaucho, and the Vaquero of Mexico. They all received their gear and technique of cattle handling from Spain, and developed the same independence, courage, and hardihood. I thought if these qualities were better known they might serve as a bridge to closer understanding throughout the Americas." From his study of the lives of these horsemen, Tinker proceeds to an examination of the literature that evolved among and then about them. The first and largest part of the book deals with the gaucho of Argentina and Uruguay. The second and third sections examine the charro of Mexico and the cowboy of the United States.
A boy's adventures start with a trapper and hunter in the Western wilderness and continue taking him into wild places and among unusual people.
In this study of the relationship between men and their horses in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England, Monica Mattfeld explores the experience of horsemanship and how it defined one’s gendered and political positions within society. Men of the period used horses to transform themselves, via the image of the centaur, into something other—something powerful, awe-inspiring, and mythical. Focusing on the manuals, memoirs, satires, images, and ephemera produced by some of the period’s most influential equestrians, Mattfeld examines how the concepts and practices of horse husbandry evolved in relation to social, cultural, and political life. She looks closely at the role of horses in the world of Thomas Hobbes and William Cavendish; the changes in human social behavior and horse handling ushered in by elite riding houses such as Angelo’s Academy and Mr. Carter’s; and the public perception of equestrian endeavors, from performances at places such as Astley’s Amphitheatre to the satire of Henry William Bunbury. Throughout, Mattfeld shows how horses aided the performance of idealized masculinity among communities of riders, in turn influencing how men were perceived in regard to status, reputation, and gender. Drawing on human-animal studies, gender studies, and historical studies, Becoming Centaur offers a new account of masculinity that reaches beyond anthropocentrism to consider the role of animals in shaping man.
