Bee.com Product Information
Matt Hayes, widely regarded as one of the best all-round anglers in Britain, and Mick Brown a predatory angler with an excellent knowledge of UK fishing sites, take up the challenge to catch every species of freshwater fish found in Britain at different locations. 35 fish in 30 days.With less than a day to catch each fish, Matt faces an uphill struggle. Some fish, such as the ferox trout, stone loach and wild carp are virtually impossible to find let alone to catch. Some of the fish are so small - like the bullhead or miller's thumb - that anglers would not normally attempt to catch them. Plus there are foreign, big fish like the wels catfish, ancient fish such as eels and tiny fish including sticklebacks.To catch each species Matt uses diverse styles of angling, from fly-casting for trout and salmon to legering with modern paste baits for carp. He demonstrates classic styles such as free-lining and trotting with floats, plus he uses cut-down tackle for the mini-species, such as loach and sticklebacks. Matt and Mick make their journey around the UK in a custom-fitted van complete with bunk beds, a small stove for cooking and special storage for their tackle. The van itself is a state-of-the-art fisherman's haven, fitted with rod racks, trays, compartments and even a fridge-freezer for bait.Day21 of Matt and Mike's challenge and the targets are arctic char and pike. After local angler Derek Bell shows Mike some special techniques, the arctic char is caught in only 20 minutes! Staying at lake Windermere they now focus on catching pike, using a variety of tactics and lures to combat the ever changing weather. Stickleback and ghost carp next and Furnace Mill is the location for the dynamic duo to bag both in style. After a successful catch of ruffe on the River Severn, bewdley, Matt and Mike travel on to Catton Park, Tamworth, in search of bream. Matt, using a combination of tactics, is soon rewarded for his efforts; so much so that Mike follows suit with equal success. The two are now confident they'll meet their challenge- But will they?

Training The Show Jumper

Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
Drawing upon his vast experience as both rider and trainer, Stephen Hadley has written this comprehensive show jumping handbook primarily for the ever growing number of novice competitors who form the grass roots of the sport. This book gives such riders the opportunity to do what might otherwise be impossible to learn from a professional trainer of international repute. Choosing the right horse, testing the unbroken youngster and judging the likely resale value of an animal who might not live up to his promise as a jumper are covered in detail. The author then explains the correct position of the rider in the saddle, the benefit of exercises on the lunge and work without stirrups, and the use of the legs and hands. The important chapter on ground work and basics includes the rider's feeling for rhythm and pace, the difference between pace and impulsion, lengthening and shortening, transitions, flexion, the rein back and the half halt. The chapter on early jumping covers trotting to fences, placing poles, bounce fences, the use of fillers, the rider's position in the air and the first steps in cantering to fences. Using sequences of photographs specially taken under his direction, the author shows how to tackle a simple combination. and goes on to explain how to train a horse to jump ditches and water. He offers advice on all aspects of going to shows and explains the art of riding combinations and. related distances, going against the clock, and knowing when to upgrade a horse. There is a good deal of useful information on running a show jumping yard and how to provide adequate facilities with a minimum of outlay. The author also explains the workings of the British Show Jumping Association, the benefits of affiliation, and the role of the course builder, and this authoritative but highly readable book concludes with an assessment of 14 successful international riders.
