Bending the Boyne, ca. 2200 BCE J.S. Dunn

The novel Bending the Boyne to be published in 2011 is a novel based in ancient Ireland about 2200 BCE. The author J.S. Dunn became interested in the megaliths of the Boyne Valley and who built them and why. With the coming of metals and marine traders, the communities and mounds fell into disrepair. Bending the Boyne tells the story of what happened, drawing on the rich characters from early mythology: Boann, the Dagda, Cian, and others.

In order to breed wild horses successfully in captivity, their environmental, nutritional and social requirements must be met:“...In zoos, juvenile male Przewalski's horses should be left in their natal bands for at least a year so that they can observe mating behaviour. They should be placed in bachelor herds when removed from the natural band, and not given harems until they are at least four or five years of age. The first mares placed with the stallion should be younger than he and the harem size should be kept small until the stallion gains age and experience.” (Boyd and Houpt, 1994, p 226) —from Levine, 2002.
