<description><![CDATA[See how your horse moves and become a better rider!

* Get a close-up look at horse gaits and transitions  
* Observe the differences between good and poor movement  
* Find out how balance and conformation affect movement  
* View flexion, bending and lateral movements

<description><![CDATA[This remarkable book speaks to our current stressful, fear-based mode of existing by offering simple, common-sense solutions that lead toward sanity and joy. And the wonderful thing is that these methods are available to us all in present-moment time. Wyatt Webb sticks to his belief that the cause of our most difficult struggles in this life are two things we’re not born with: fear and self-doubt. Since these two conditions are learned, there is definitely hope for overcoming them via the process of unlearning and relearning, which is at our intellectual, emotional, and spiritual fingertips.   We’re able to move from the perception of being stuck by availing ourselves of the simple yet profound tools offered in this book. For one-tenth the cost of a therapy session, you can access the map to freedom. What have you got to lose?]]></description>

<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781580175951</link>
<description><![CDATA[Dressage, the equestrian practice in which a horse makes highly precise movements in response to barely perceptible signals from the rider, has taken hold of America's equestrians. Participation rates have risen by 200 percent over the past twenty years, as baby-boomer riders have discovered dressage to be less strenuous and dangerous than jumping, yet offering the satisfaction of mastering techniques and the opportunity to compete and advance to higher levels of achievement.  101 Dressage Exercises for Horse & Rider, presented in Storey's highly visual " Read & Ride" format, features a full arena diagram and stepby- step instructions for each exercise. The exercises address all levels of riders, starting with the basics and moving up to maneuvers developed by members of the U.S. Olympic team. Training tips and masterly guidance make this an indispensable reference for all dressage riders. Even Western riders interested in enhancing their performance will find these foundational exercises useful. Dressage riders are information-hungry readers, often referred to as " the thinking horsemen." This book's sturdy format, combbound and drilled so it can be hung on a ringside post, will appeal to these reading riders, whether in or out of the saddle.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Perry Wood learned the true art of communication in the most unforgiving of situations: standing in front of a half ton of agitated, hypersensitive horse. In "Secrets of the People Whisperer," he shows how the same techniques for developing trust and understanding with a horse can work equally well in one's personal, business, family, and romantic relationships. Proving the timeless axiom "actions speak louder than words," "Secrets of the People Whisperer" explains how to be a highly skilled communicator who sends and receives messages that are far more powerful than mere speech. The author's unique methods allow one to clearly relate to and positively influence another person for the mutual benefit of both parties. Finally, the author reveals how mastering this deeper way of communicating improves virtually all aspects of one's life, from more fruitful work relationships to personal relationships that are open, loving, and trusting.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Nature of Horses]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780684827681</link>
<description><![CDATA[Horses have a shared history with man going back millennia to their domestication around 4000 B.C. Yet only in very recent years have scientists begun to turn the tools of modem science on this remarkable animal that has been so wrapped up in human dreams and legends. Now modern scientific research is beginning to explain long-standing mysteries about the true nature of the horse. How well can horses really see? What causes breakdowns in racehorses? How intelligent are they compared to other animals, and are some breeds smarter than others? Does nature or nurture matter more in creating a great sport horse? What causes cribbing and other vices? In this beautifully illustrated, compelling narrative, Budiansky tells the story of the origins, behavior, intelligence and language of the horse.For the first time, horse lovers will have access to cutting-edge research on topics of interest including new information on horse vision, horse biology and movement. Introducing the latest archeological findings, Budiansky presents a fascinating discussion of how the horse evolved as well as a dramatic and provocative history of man's use and abuse of the horse from prehistoric times to today. In a revealing chapter on horse intelligence, he debunks the commonly held belief that horses are stupid and also presents compelling new scientific information on horse language which will greatly benefit the horse rider and trainer. Finally, drawing together the latest research on horse physiology, genetics and biomechanics, Budiansky asks the million dollar question -- what makes for a winning racehorse? Anyone who loves horses will find this an invaluable resource as well as a fascinating read.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Lameness, one of the most common and most troublesome of all equine ailments, remains the primary reason why horses are unable to fulfill their potential and their riders' and trainers' expectations. More preparation time is lost, more competitions are missed, and more careers are prematurely ended because of lameness than any other condition.This book analyzes the causes, diagnoses, and management of the myriad causes of lameness: "Defining and identifying the lame leg; spotting gait abnormalities and non-muscular causes; physical examinations and evaluations; diagnostic tools and other tests; the role of the veterinarian and farrier in pre-purchase examinations."Physical therapies; the applicability of rest, medications, and other veterinary procedures."Hoof conformation and shoeing options."Joint, bone, muscle, and tendon and ligament problems."Neurological, dermatological, and developmental orthopedic causes of lameness."Treatment of conditions specific to the foot, pastern and fetlock, cannon and splint bones, knee, upper foreleg, hock, upper hind leg, and back. No other book covers this vital subject in such a comprehensive and understandable fashion. For that reason, no other book deserves a more prominent place on the shelf of anyone who owns, trains, rides, or drives horses.Equine Research is a respected publisher of horse-related academic and popular books. Its reference works include the contributions of this country's most authoritative veterinarians and other experts in their respective fields. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Education of Horse and Rider]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781592287987</link>
<description><![CDATA[This volume brings together Jean Froissard's two definitive books on dressage and classical horsemanship. Part one, "Classical Horsemanship for Our Time," presents the heritage of classical theories of riding in a modern, highly readable format, taking the reader through the development of a dressage horse-that is, dressage in its truest sense: the training of a riding horse. Froissard begins with criteria for selecting a horse and early training that should be basic for any horse, whatever its equestrian discipline.With constant emphasis on rewards for even the slightest improvement, Froissard then takes the reader through the training progression up to the highest dressage levels. The emphasis throughout is always on the practical rather than the heavily theoretical. While particularly addressing the dressage rider, "Classical Horsemanship for Our Time" is an ideal source for all riders who seek a deeper understanding of the classical style.Part two, "A Guide to Basic Dressage" is an essential text for all riders who aspire to train correctly and compete successfully. The stages of classical school based on General L'Hotte's concise maxim, "calm, forward, straight," are given in a simple and logical progression.Starting with the selection of a suitable dressage horse, Froissard leads the reader patiently through each movement and transition, with emphasis on the rider's influence and aids being properly applied at the correct moment. ]]></description>

<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781847730046</link>
<description><![CDATA[The relationship between horse and rider is akin to dance partners; to perform at their best, each must trust the other's physical strength and agility to execute the movements expected. A consistent exercise program for both horse and rider, like that detailed here, provides a solid foundation for building that trust. Demonstrated through color photographs, each exercise has a clear objective, such as improving rhythm, gaining strength, or adding explosiveness to the horse's jump. A section on troubleshooting existing problems helps to diagnose and correct inefficiencies in the animal's gait and reveals the impact of incorrect riding posture. There's information on training aids and equipment, and a chapter on equine physiology.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In this handbook you will find fascinating information on the development of the horse, using all methods of work in hand: LungeingLong reiningTraining in hand according to the Iberian schoolTraining in hand according to the Viennese schoolSchooling between the pillarsWorking with shortened long reins and free long reins Training The Horse in Hand presents a complete system for the development of the young horse, from its first lessons on the lunge line through the highest levels of dressage. All lessons are discussed, including lateral work, leg-yielding, shoulder-in, piaffe, passage, Spanish walk, and airs above the ground. The author places special value on the use of groundwork as an extension of training under saddle.The art of riding lies in being able to understand the cause and effect of everything you do. If you abide by these rules when you work with your friend the horse, he will in return be a joyful companion who will be eager to do anything for you.Nothing written in this book is "my method." There are experiences that are thousands of years old, which I have been allowed to discover in my own life and have become richer for doing so. Everything you read here is therefore "clinically tested" through the skill and knowledge of the old masters and myself, and only written in modern words. So I wish you a tremendous amount of fun as you read and apply this old wisdom. - from the Introduction]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[No hoof, no horse. Widely published equine authority Heather Smith Thomas explains exactly why this is in her latest book, Understanding Equine Hoof Care. Her comprehensive approach covers how domestication has compromised the equine hoof and offers instruction on how horses' feet can be returned to a more natural, and healthy, state, through conscientious care. Thomas describes the complete anatomy of the hoof and explains methods to both prevent and treat common foot ailments. These methods include proper shoeing for usage, daily cleaning, trimming, and knowing your horse well enough to spot any deviations that can indicate potential problems. Understanding Equine Hoof Care provides the reader with a wealth of information on how to maintain hoof health, treat minor problems, and know when it's time to work with a vet or farrier.]]></description>

Thomas describes the complete anatomy of the hoof and explains methods to both prevent and treat common foot ailments. These methods include proper shoeing for usage, daily cleaning, trimming, and knowing your horse well enough to spot any deviations that can indicate potential problems. Understanding Equine Hoof Care provides the reader with a wealth of information on how to maintain hoof health, treat minor problems, and know when it's time to work with a vet or farrier.]]></dc:description>

<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780816525508</link>
<description><![CDATA[The fifteen stories contained in The Power of Horses portray, each in a different way, the sensitive and enduring culture of the Dakota of the Upper Plains and convey many of the basic truths that have sustained Elizabeth Cook-Lynnas people for countless generations. Though the stories are often filled with violence and grief, they are also brimming with beauty, gentleness, charm, and humor. In these striking and memorable tales of Dakota country, Joseph grieves that the body of his middle son will never be returned to his native shores from the distant World War I battlefields where he was killed; family members gather to bury their father and barely survive their own weaknesses and bickering; a grandmother takes her grandchild for a walk and imparts to the child some of the old wisdom of times past; a whining hound dogaprimordial to the Dakotaacompetes unwittingly with Reverend Tilestonas efforts to bring the word of the Christian God to a tight-knit family, and wins; Magpie is a poet but is also on parole, and just as his friends have begun to rethink the finality of justice, he is aaccidentallya shot and killed in the white manas jail. Cook-Lynn writes unsparingly yet compassionately of reservation life in the last century. In each of these gemlike stories she reveals something of the mystery and essential toughness of the Dakota people.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Problem-Solving, Volume 2]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780911647648</link>
<description><![CDATA[Volume 2 is a continuation of Volume 1 with chapters covering problems such as those surrounding halter-breaking, bridling, saddling, mounting, hoof and leg handling, trail riding, and many others. Prevention and good horsemanship skills are heavily stressed making these books useful to anyone whether or not they have the problem discussed.The methods and philosophy the author presents are based on how horses think, learn, and communicate naturally. Rather than make a horse do what is asked, Marten's approach sets up the training so the horse can search for the right answer, which is in the path of least resistance. The horse's slightest try is rewarded by the handler's or rider's immediate release of pressure.Volume 1 lays the foundation for all good riding with techniques and exercises that are time-tested and proven. Chapters include common ground-handling problems such as being hard to catch and pulling back when tied, typical riding problems such as spooking and crossing water and the solutions to the ever-common problem of trailer loading.The books stress the theme that no problem is a singular event by itself. It's instead part of the overall common thread throughout a rider's interaction with his or her horse. Therefore, all problems lead back to building or rebuilding a stronger foundation, both on the ground and in the saddle. Volume 1 and 2 give specific approaches to accomplish a higher degree of horsemanship and understanding of equine behavior. As a result, the horse owner is safe and enjoys his or her horse more.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Rider's Problem Solver]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781580178389</link>
<description><![CDATA[The average rider doesn't have Olympic aspirations and a $10,000 horse. Most riders just want to learn as much as they can about horses, to ride as well as possible, and to enjoy the companionship of their equine partners. Many riders, however, feel frustrated with their lack of progress, struggle with uncomfortable tack or painful joints, or find themselves losing confidence after a frightening experience.  In her informal yet informative style, clinician and equine behavior expert Jessica Jahiel addresses numerous rider concerns, from head (properly fitting a helmet) to toe (breaking in a pair of stiff new boots) and everything inbetween (those aching knees). Following the successful question-and-answer format of "The Horse Behavior Problem Solver," she presents real life situations and addresses them in comprehensive detail, offering proven solutions to common problems.  Starting from the ground up, Jahiel covers technical issues in Part I: Mount Up and Ride, addressing questions about mounting and dismounting, position in the saddle, and jumping and trail riding. Part II covers physical and emotional issues, ranging from finding the right size horse to facing fears to seeing things from the horse's point of view. A third section on tack and clothing includes a variety of topics, from holding the reins correctly to using a whip to making saddles more comfortable. Finally, in Part IV: Getting Better all the Time, Jahiel discusses finding (and working with) a good instructor, attending clinics, preparing for shows, and understanding what the judges might be thinking.  The problems presented in this book will be familiar to riders of all levels of experience and in all styles of riding. Jahiel's detailed advice encourages riders to relax and enjoy their relationship with the horse, to always keep learning, and above all, to put the horse first.]]></description>
