Roses and Locoweed: The Life of a Cowboy's Wife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)this book is so much fun. It's a hard hitting look at life on ranches, with cowboys, and cowgirls who ride alongside the guys, rain, shine, cold, mud, or scorching heat. then they go home, cook dinner, bake bread, take care of the babies, and start all over again the next day. All without insurance, payback, or fancy vacation time. Wow, a reminder that a city girl might not want to manage that kind of life, but gosh, it's so down to earth that it is 'tempting'. So many georgeous sunsets, great horses, handsome cowboys...who can resist.

Waylon Jennings sings that cowboy's aint easy to love. He might have used the words: A cowboy's life aint easy to love. Freia Hooper-Bradford chronicles a life few wives are privileged to share. She couldn't have guessed what life would be like with a cowboy when she was a young woman, starry eyed and in love with a cowboy who looked like he just walked off the page in coffee table book about the Wild West. Being the wife a cowboy was everything she had dreamed about when she was a horse-crazy teenager. But life wasn't all roses, there was lots of locoweed. Along with the romantic west, the good horses, thrilling rides and living on God's most beautiful acres, there were the tough times. The vagabond life moving from ranch to ranch, always in search of greener pastures, better ridin', more ropin' and maybe an extra hundred dollars for the paycheck. There were the bad bosses, working in forty below and living in sagging old ranch houses. Freia chronicles the years following her cowboy with a sense of humor and poignancy. She accurately recounts the bad, tough times as well as the good life and the romantic west.

Riding for the Blue: A Celebration of Horse Shows Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful book, with gorgeous photos and a funny and perceptive text showing why people love horses and why they take their sometimes magnificent, and sometimes not-so-magnificent but loved-just-the-same, beasts out in public to compete against others similarly afflicted with horse show fever.
Cindy Hale's text shows a mastery of words and imagery. More than that, though, her writing shows a true love and understanding of horses, of horse shows, and of why people and horses compete. She examines several disciplines, including hunters, western, dressage, and jumpers. She covers the arc of a horse show career, for both horses and riders, and gives justly due attention to the judges, trainers, grooms, braiders, night watchmen, and horse show moms who all contribute to making showing the unique and addictive experience it is. And, of course, she gives tribute to the horses without whose generosity and cooperation none of it would be possible.
The photographs that accompany the text are sharp, feeling, and insightful. Sharon Fibelkorn not only captures the beauty, spirit, and athleticism of the horses in each discipline, but also the emotions of the people riding and surrounding them.
This is a perfect book for anyone who loves horses and showing, and anyone who loves someone who loves horses and showing and wants to understand the answer to the question, "why on Earth do you put yourself through all that just for a little ribbon?"

Collective Marks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)this book was a surprise to me- came up as an Amazon Rec'd book, so since I AM a horse lover, had to get it. Once I opened it, I can hardly put it down. Ms Feldman has a terrific feeling for the horse, as well as human nature, and the often complicated relationships between the two.
She is a gifted writer, with excellent use of the language and the book flows very well. She has a deep knowledge of her subjects- which makes things very believable and enjoyable. Even though its a tough topic, as so much of growing up is hard to articulate, she has done an outstanding job. I will look for more books by her!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Collective Marks

Over the years, social worker Annie Trowbridge has worked with foster homes, schools, and other community resources to help Michael Ross, just turned eighteen, become a productive citizen, but with only partial success.

Michael has only one consistent attribute—a fascination with horses. Annie sees in this interest a possible solution to his poor work history and repeated brushes with the law, and when she is called by the police to say that he is in trouble again, she makes one last effort to find him work with a horse trainer, Erik Sarmento, on an isolated horse farm.

The ensuing struggle between the volatile, defensive Michael and the hard, unsympathetic trainer is the background of the novel and the means by which Michael learns that he is dealing with both a gifted trainer and a potentially dangerous man.
A delinquent 18-year-old with a passion for horses learns valuable lessons from an unsympathetic horse trainer.Although the story deals with a rare form of competitive horse training—dressage—the author's vivid descriptions successfully integrate the concept into the narrative. In horse training terms, "collective marks" are the judges' scores for a dressage horse and its rider. Feldman extends the metaphor throughout the story, suggesting that collective marks only accrue when an effective balance of power is struck between the student and teacher. A carefully plotted coming-of-age story about the bounds of authority. -Kirkus Discoveries

Heroes and Hounds Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Heroes and Hounds is an enchanting tale of a young girl named Carly growing up on a large Virginia farm with her grandfather. She is filled with enthusiasm and considers the animals living on and around the farm as her best friends, including the mice in the barn and a clever red fox. This involves a complete lack of prejudice that serves Carly throughout the tale even as she begins to befriend people. "Carly wished people wouldn't kill the animals. They were her friends. All of them."
It is Carly's unfailingly cheerful and helpful attitude that pulls the reader into the story. She is an imaginative girl and daydreams of being a hero and also of taking her pony to a horse show. Carly also has a determined and practical side which we see when she assists in locating a lost hunting hound. Later, this same determination and courage is needed as Carly attempts to help the police find her friend, Freddie.
Sections of the narrative follow non-human characters to show their unique personalities. The characters might be archetypes -- the crafty fox, the naïve hound, the determined young girl, the misunderstood social outcast -- but the descriptions of their interactions remain quite enjoyable despite their familiarity. The manner in which the story is told is original, however. Each character, whether human or animal, has something quite pressing motivating them to action, though it is not always obvious right away what this is. The author describes these motivations in detail by giving the reader an understanding into the character's thoughts, intelligence, and unique awareness.
For example, as a canine, Hampton's dominant sense is smell. The author is able to impart the way in which Hampton understands his environment through his nose. "He sniffed the air, drinking in the smells of a new October day. It was the sweet smell that lingers after a heavy rainfall." Although human noses are not as keen, the reader is still able to absorb this vivid description.
This book's ability to communicate to older children on their level and help them become interested in reading is another one of its great advantages. The story is fast paced and the way it switches story lines every chapter keeps it very entertaining. Yet, interspersed into the plot are sophisticated themes such as forgiveness to those who have shown anger or cruelty towards you, showing kindness and trust to strangers, and even standing up for what you know in your heart is right and true.
Perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of this book is Carly's transformation as she begins making human friends and then realizes she must protect them from the dangers of the world. Could she really be the hero she dreams of being? Only by reading the tale can one answer this question, but rest assured it is well worth the journey. This tale may be about heroes and hounds but it is about so much more as well.

The Power of Positive Horse Training: Saying Yes to Your Horse (Howell Equestrian Library) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a great book! With so many books available on natural horsemanship, horse behavior and training it's easy to accummulate a whole equestrian library rather quickly. There are really only two books you can't go without though:
Gincy Bucklin's What Your Horse Wants You to Know and Sarah Blanchard's The Power of Positive Horse Training.
Not only are both books full of great suggestions but more importantly they help bridge the language barrier between horse and human. Wonderful books to own, easy and interesting to read and great reference tools and morale builders when you and your equine partner hit a road block.

True Horsemanship Through Feel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)True Horsemanship Through Feel could not be any more appropriately titled. As others have stated, there are no quick fixes here, only the door to a new relationship with your horse for those willing to pay attention to the little things that make all the difference.
I have trained two horses since purchasing this book and reading it over and over. Neither horse carried a rider until they were four. Both come down out of their lush pasture if they THINK we might go riding. I take care of them, to include trimming their feet and saddling them in the pasture, without putting a rope on them. I'm very happy with the way they turned out. My horses want to be with me and look to me for reassurance. They are a pleasure to be around and are just as "broken" after a three month layoff as they were the day the snow started flying.
This book is a great addition to the horsemanship library. Don't be put off by the price--most horse books may be cheaper, but they only get read once. This one will be read over and over. Take the time to study "True Horsemanship Through Feel" and you will find new depth in your other videos, tapes, and books on round-penning and non-threatening horse-training. It doesn't replace the others--it adds value to them. The understanding you will gain will allow you to find and stand on common ground and to help develop your own style that works for both you and your horses. It is all about communicating in terms the horse can understand. The understanding and communication will set you free.

Trail Riding: Train, Prepare, Pack Up & Hit the Trail Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Trail Riding by Rhonda hart Poe is more then just what the title indicates.
She takes you from getting ready to ride through the Trail Rider's Survival Guide and much more in the process. With only five years involved with horses and a few hundred miles on trails she leads you through every phase of trail horsemanship.
There is not adequate space here to pass along how much I learned and will use in the future "on the trail". Ms Poe covers everything from tack and gear for the trail to preparing you and your horse, whether you ride for pleasure or in competition.
Married to a true "Horse-Lady" with more then 20,000 miles on trails I suspected it was my inexperience until after she read the book. She enjoyed it and indicated that she had picked up a lot of tips that she had never thought of. That's from a woman who has a bookshelf full of books on trail riding.
The book was very educational and fun to read with a lot of information for beginners and experienced riders alike. I have no doubt that I will be a better trail riders after my first read and intend to read it a few more times. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be a better horseman, whether on trails or around the pasture.

Hitting the open trail on horseback is the ultimate dream vacation for many people. And for the vast majority of established riders who do not compete or show horses, trail riding brings the greatest pleasure, whether on a three-mile loop around an open field or a twenty-mile trek up a rugged mountainside. A dependable, well-trained horse is the key to a fulfilling trail experience. In Trail Riding, author Rhonda Hart Poe offers fundamental instruction and detailed advice on every aspect of preparing for and executing a pleasurable trail ride. This begins with selecting the most appropriate horse for the task and goes on to cover training, conditioning, trailering the horse, and selecting tack and gear with an eye on safety. No other book delves into such depth on how to prepare for and handle different types of terrain and potential obstacles and tricky situations, such as turning around on a narrow trail, stepping over fallen logs, side passing, and dealing with unpredictable distractions. Whether a rider is interested in a quiet afternoon ride or a five-day backwoods endurance event, Trail Riding is essential reading. Promoting the whole adventure, from start to finish, Poe also includes amazing trail stories from riders across North America, as well as a resource listing great trail rides.

The Complete Guide to Endurance Riding and Competition (Howell reference books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Want to feel good, cover a lot of ground, and enjoy a real sense of accomplishment? And spend a lot of time with your horse? Then read this book. Endurance riding (strictly speaking, going 50-100 miles a day across the countryside for 1-5 days on or with your horse) should not be attempted unless you and your horse have some basic training, including physical conditioning, but with the right approach almost anyone can do it. Donna shows you how, from basics to true competition (not only how to reach the finish line in one piece but how to be one of the first arrivals on a horse that is ready and able to keep going). There are a number of books offering advice on endurance riding, and most provide valuable information, but I find this one the best starting point. Besides covering the fundamentals found in almost every endurance book, Donna offers exercises for you and your horse that help you both to finish without being cramped, exhausted or otherwise unfit to continue (I can testify to this!). She also injects many nuggets of wisdom from her extensive personal experience. Finally, the format includes many helpful diagrams, illustrations, photos, boxes, summaries, lists and references that get the necessary concepts across much better than plain words in a paragraph, which makes for easier reading and quicker comprehension. My only complaint is that the book is too big to fit in my saddlebag.

First Star to the Right and Straight on Till Morning.... At the 90-mile vet check she sat in the middle of the road crying, claiming extreme illness and trying to avoid her nightmarish fears her horse would die of founder or colic, or anything. The last ten miles of trail stretched forever in her mind, black like licorice taffy. After a large measure of TLC from her patient and understanding crew, she and the gelding were out of the check and on the trail again. The entire universe shrank to center on the pair in the moonlight. Time stopped and the world faded into nothingness. They were running in a small, ever-changing pocket of existence, the rhythm of his hooves, the heartbeat of that universe. Ribbons and trail appeared before them and lost substance as they moved past. For the rider, clinging to the saddle, there was no thought, no pain, no emotion, only the instinctive drive to chase past each ribbon as it appeared. Suddenly her horse jumped sideways, eyes and ears frozen forward. Awakened from her trance, she oriented herself on his suspected woods troll, a familiar embankment that meant they were a half-mile from home. Easing him past the scary object, she sent the gelding on, clinging to his neck. As his soft lope swept them across the finish line, she wanted to laugh out loud or cry, but was unable to summon the strength for either. A few small tears trickled down her cheek, the only sign of the enormous pride she felt inside.

Imprint Training of the Newborn Foal: A Swift, Effective Method for Permanently Shaping a Horse's Lifetime Behavior Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book by Robert M. Miller with my very first
miniature horse foal, and it WORKS!!!!
I imprint trained him at birth and some the next day and
everything I did, helped that horse just like he said it would.
His personality is beautiful, he learned the desired responses
well and I know its because of the imprint training.It does not
take much time or effort on your part. I bought a foal that was
not imprint trained and the difference between the two horses
later on is UNBELIEVEABLE. The imprint trained horse is
friendly, obedient, and unafraid of anything ,thanks to this
book. TO me it was well worth the money I paid for it.I expect
2 more foals this year and already have my book ready to
do everything he suggests, I know it will make my life easier
when that little foal becomes a weanling thru full-grown.
For me, it was especially helpful because of my inexperience
with horses but this book would work just as well with the
experienced. It does shape the horses behaviors for LIFE.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Imprint Training of the Newborn Foal: A Swift, Effective Method for Permanently Shaping a Horse's Lifetime Behavior

IMPRINT TRAINING OF THE NEWBORN FOAL offers an easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach to handling and training newborn foals, as well as numerous techniques and exercises that aid the foal in halter training and later in performing riding maneuvers. Imprinting can be defined as a learning process occurring soon after birth in which a behavior pattern is established. The newborn foal is imprinted to follow and bond with whatever large object looms above it at the time of birth.Dr. Miller's methods lay the foundation for teaching a horse most of what it will need to know to serve as a useful animal for the rest of its life. Early training can, in an amazingly brief period of time, assure an ideal relationship between horse and human, with the horse bonded and submissive to the human. In addition, the horse will be desensitized to the everyday frightening stimuli that typically elicit a flight reaction in the young horse, and which account for the frequent injuries that afflict horses and the people who work with them.The book includes nineteen chapters beginning with initial imprinting training, then following with subsequent sessions, halter training, performance basics, response reinforcement, problem prevention, and sections on racehorses, mules, and brood mares.

The Soul of a Horse Blogged - The Journey Continues: Live the Moments - Inspiring New Stories - Compelling New Discoveries Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book because I enjoyed Joe Camp's first book: The Soul of a Horse. His decriptions are vivid, heartwarming and at times downright hilarious. I felt as if I was right there with him and Kathleen on their journey. If every horse could be treated with the care Joe Camp gives his herd, they'd be lucky indeed. The only "problem" I had with Joe's books is I couldn't put them down! He just smoothly leads you from one Chapter to the next and leaves you wishing there were more pages to read.
Be sure to also read The Soul of a Horse.

LOOK INTO THE HEART AND SOUL OF A HORSE

Critical and reader acclaim from more than 150,000 readers of Joe Camp's best selling The Soul of a Horse - Life Lessons from the Herd has generated a profound impact on the way horses are being trained, kept, and cared for all across the planet. It is with that same passionate spirit that Joe has written The Soul of a Horse Blogged - The Journey Continues.

This book follows the lead of its predecessor once again engagingly navigating uncharted and often controversial territory while forging a change in traditional thinking about horses forever. Engaging, emotional, and often humorous, The Soul of a Horse Blogged deftly lures readers into the heart and soul of a horse, unlocking the mystery of a majestic creature who has survived on earth without humans for more than 52 million years.

Live the moments with Joe and Kathleen as they adopt a wild pregnant mustang and move their herd from the dry rocky hillsides of southern California to the wet grassy hillsides of their new middle Tennessee home. This book is full of inspiring new stories and compelling new discoveries as the horses continue to teach their life lessons from the herd. Plus an exclusive preview: the first three chapters of Joe's next book Born to be Wild - The Soul of a Horse Riding the Winds of Change.

Praise for the Works of Joe Camp

'Joe Camp is a master storyteller." - The New York Times

'Joe Camp is a gifted storyteller and the results are magical. Joe entertains, educates and empowers, baring his own soul while articulating keystone principles of a modern revolution in horsemanship." - Rick Lamb, Author and TV/Radio host 'The Horse Show"

'Joe Camp is a natural when it comes to understanding how animals tick and a genius at telling us their story. This book is a must-read for those who love animals of any species." - Monty Roberts, Author of New York Times Best-seller The Man Who Listens to Horses

'One cannot help but be touched by Camp's love and sympathy for animals and by his eloquence on the subject." - Michael Korda, The Washington Post

"I loved The Soul of a Horse, but this book is even better! It captured me from page one!

This book is not about horsetraining, it is about working on THE HUMAN, so if you are looking for specific horsetraining information, this is not it. However, it is an excellent guide for anyone not achieving their goals, whether it be with the horse(s) in their life, or any other part of their life. There are specific assignments in the book to help the reader - so reader involvement is required. This book would be great for any riding instructor who is interested in non-traditional methods.
