HORSE RIDING

A keen mountaineer, Jordan Lloyd achieved the distinction of making the first ascent and descent in one day of the Mittellgi ridge of the Eiger. Her mountain-climbing exploits led to her election to the Ladies Alpine Club. Later, she adopted competition horse riding as her main interest, which caused her friend Stephenson to comment in both those pursuits she excelled and certainly the element of danger encountered in them was not without its attraction to her. 59(a) She died of pneumonia on 21 November 1946. [Pg.325]

By intramuscular administration, the medicine is injected into muscle tissue, through the skin and subcutaneous fat layer. Suitable muscles for intramuscular injection are the upper arm and shoulder muscle (musculus deltoideus), thigh muscle (musculus vastus lateralis) and bottom muscle (musculus glutaeus maximus). The blood flow in these muscles differ from each other and hence also the extent and rate in which an active substance is absorbed from these sites. Activity of the muscle and physical movements (e.g. horse riding after an injection in the bottom muscle) will also strongly affect the absorption of the active substance from the injection site. Unlike the intravenous injection, oily liquids and aqueous or oily suspensions can be injected intramuscularly. [Pg.338]

The benefits of maintaining additional therapeutic activities such as horse-riding should not be automatically assumed and should, in an inclusive enviroiunent, be assessed vis-a-vis the cost in curriculum lost... [Pg.144]

Most primary Inclusion Project pupils also went horse-riding, and swimming at Princess Margaret School (which was stiU open at this time), in school time. This was causing a certain amount of controversy in all the schools because of the amount of whole-class work that was being missed as a result (and, at Heather Grove Primary, because some of the other children felt it was unfair that Inclusion Project pupils should be able to ride when they couldn t). [Pg.147]

Envy by other Heather Grove Primary children of Caroline s horse-riding in school time has already been mentioned in the context of out-of-class activities. It is another, small, example of wbat could be seen as privileged treatmenL as opposed to treatment strictly... [Pg.163]

Horses and related animals were domesticated approximately five thousand years ago, and since then have provided meat and the much needed energy power for work and transportation. Today, equines continue to be an important source of meat in many regions of the world, and provide the needed power for transportation, and work in many developing countries. In industrialized countries of the world, horse riding is practiced as a hobby or recreation, and horse racing represents a very... [Pg.636]

This midsummer dawn is so early that the world seems barely to have slept. I pull on my gloves, for my hands are still cold the leather presses the Jason ring into my skin as if Louis himself touches me. Even the horses, dozing in the chill mist, hang their heads as if exhausted, with none of the scuffles and nips that horses do, as men do, to find out who is master this morning. It is sixty miles to Pontefract. We will ride it in one of these days, almost without end, that are bringing me so swiftly to my own. [Pg.48]

It is the horses as ever who know before we do that the time has come. They are suddenly alert, shifting and tossing their heads then orders are spoken, the dark bulk of the main gate cracks open, and we ride over the drawbridge and through the bailey, on to the open road. [Pg.49]

In the forest insects hang where the sun s streams warm the air as we ride through they dart and nip. The horses toss their heads and snort to shake them off, but we trot too fast for all but the biggest flies to stay with us. How it will be when the horses are weary, I do not know. The marshes north of York are low-lying, and agueish even in winter on a hot summer s day they swarm with gnats and midges. [Pg.52]

As the highway narrowed toward Bow Bridge, such was the press of horses and men-at-arms that my escort was mixed with the King s, and I found Edward himself riding no more than a head before me. [Pg.159]

Dear Lord, the guide shouted, pointing toward the open sea. That tide s too quick. Hurry He clapped his heels to his cob, and our horses, already nervous, needed no spurs to set off after him. Like a wild herd we thundered indifferently through mud and sand, looking to and fro between the treacherous ground ahead and the thin line of gray foam that slipped toward us, silent and inexorable, faster than we could ride. [Pg.199]

Lewis thought he saw horses outside and decided that he and Carter could scatter, get on the horses and ride away. He stayed in his room for long periods planning this escape. Visual imagery varied in tone, causing him to be either pleased or disturbed. Mostly he gave only vague descriptions of its content, other than a beach where he felt all alone. [Pg.56]

I was on my way to the Lido to ride my horse, which I stable there. Riding is an uncommon pastime in Venice, but not an illegal one. We saw the body floating, so I had my boatmen lift it aboard and we delivered it to the shirri in Gastello for Christian burial. I took possession of the valuables still visible on the corpse, because I knew what would happen to them otherwise. The next day I handed them to my attorney and told him to have them identified and see that they were returned to the dead woman s family. ... [Pg.16]

Then, in late 1679 or early 1680, Georges Pierre returned to the French town of Caen, where he had previously resided. He was riding a horse worth sixty livres and had a servant equally well mounted. He had the richest clothing and other furniture and rare and precious curiosities, according to a letter written to an unknown... [Pg.65]

The public funeral was held on August 12, when the coffin was taken from Town Hall to a nearby cemetery in a funeral procession that was nearly a mile long. Six horses drew the hearse, followed by the more notable members of the community riding in almost a hundred carriages and the common citizens of Manchester on foot. [Pg.144]

During field expeditions, he often lives with nomadic people, walking or riding with them on their seasonal migrations as they herd camels, horses, yaks, and sheep. In addition, he has worked with one of the last speakers of the Kara) language in Lithuania. [Pg.33]
