Denny Emerson, USEA Hall of Famer, reveals seven factors that lead to success in any Equestrian sport.

Wendy Murdoch, an internationally recognized equestrian author, instructor, and clinician for over 23 years, teaches her students how to do what great riders do naturally. Her fascination with the mind/body connection between horse and rider has led her to explore courses outside the equine world and bring that information to her students.

Balancing Act: The Horse in Sport - An Irreconcilable Conflict? is Dr. Heuschmann?s long-awaited follow-up to his first thought-provoking book.

Tug Of War: Why Classical Training Works and How Incorrect "Modern" Riding Negatively Affects Horses' Health by Dr. Heuschmann presents a thought-provoking exploration of both classical and modern training methods. Includes the topic of hyperflexion (Rollkur).

When you were a little girl, did you dream of horses, choosing Breyers over Barbies-plastic horses over plastic dolls?

For the past several decades, has your life been more about taking care of others than taking care of yourself while your dreams have gathered dust on long forgotten shelves?

Are you at that point in life when you've begun to wonder whether you'll ever find the courage to do all the things you wanted to do someday?

Offering horses as both metaphor and solution to the natural malaise that often rears its head just about the time we blow out that "midlife" birthday candle, this is the book that will help you ask (and answer), "What about my dreams?" and "Is it my turn yet?" and "If not now, when?" and best of all, "If now, how?"

Melinda Folse speaks to those women whose hearts yearn for reconnection at a time when life seems to have run its own course and childhood dreams of playing with horses are only a vague memory. She not only helps you rekindle the possibility of bringing a little equine energy into your life, she also takes you on a gentle journey of small steps to help your childhood passion become a reality.
