But when he arrived, Sherman was in such bad shape he could barely move and his hair was coming out in clumps. Chris decided to undertake a radical rehabilitation program designed not only to heal Sherman's body, but to heal his mind as well. It turns out, the best way to soothe a donkey is to give it a job and so Chris decided to teach Sherman how to run. He'd heard about burro racing -- a unique type of race out west where humans and donkeys run together in a call-back to mining days -- and decided he and Sherman would enter the World Championship in Colorado. Easier said than done. In the course of Sherman's training, Chris would have to recruit several other runners, both human and equine, and call upon the wisdom of burro racers, goat farmers, Amish running club members, and a group of irrepressible female long-haul truckers. Along the way, he shows us the life-changing power of animals, nature, and community"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Sherman $c (Donkey) 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $z United States. 650 4 $a Pack burro racing $z United States. 650 0 $a Donkeys $x Training $z United States. 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION / Running & Jogging. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a NATURE / Animals / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HEALTH & FITNESS / Alternative Therapies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Donkeys $x Training. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896854 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963482 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 4 $a Sports & Recreation / Running & Jogging. 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20220204105535.0 $n 15 $p 5 reg + 10 LP 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30573850AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
