Book excerpt: From the author of the #1 bestseller The Man Who Listens to Horses, a book for all of us seeking to strengthen our human relationships "Monty Roberts will make you marvel."—The New York Times Book Review In The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts revealed the depth of communication possible between human and horse. Touching the hearts of more than four million readers worldwide, that memoir—which spent more than a year at the top of The New York Times bestseller list—described his discovery of the "language" of horses and the dramatic effectiveness of removing violence from their training. Now, the world's most famous horse gentler demonstrates how his revolutionary Join-Up technique can be used not just for horses, but as a model for how to strengthen human relationships. With vivid, often deeply moving anecdotes, Roberts shows how the lessons learned from the thousands of horses he has known can provide effective guidelines for improving the quality of our communication with one another—from learning to "read" each other effectively, to creative fear-free environments, and, most importantly, teaching belief in the power of gentleness and trust.

Download or read book Trainer Training written by Keith Hosman and published by Keith Hosman. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Unillustrated) This book primarily concerns itself with the BUSINESS of training horses. This is NOT a horse training book for the non-professional. "Trainer Training" offers one hundred situations a professional horse trainer might face. Written specifically for the professional horse trainer, this is a compilation of one hundred "things I've learned" throughout my over thirty years with horses, sixteen plus of them as a pro. Some are listed quickly, some are placed in greater detail. (For each entry, to paraphrase Mozart, I used "only as many notes" as necessary and point the reader toward further resources when the subject matter threatens to creep beyond the scope of this book.) This is not meant to outline "the only way" to do things or to look at things - it's simply one hundred quick pieces of advice I'd offer a compatriot were I asked. Every horse trainer reading this could easily make their own list - and, given our myriad experiences and disparate backgrounds, I doubt we'd overlap all that much. And, there, it's that "lack of overlap" that gives this book both its perspective and value. My background (beyond "horses") is in marketing, writing, and as a long-time computer geek. Hence, the tips contained herein focus - to a great extent - on those segments of our business. Note also that a great deal of the info also circles around special events (clinics, symposiums, talks, etc.) that a pro might offer - in large part, because this is where so darned many weird things can happen (and where much money can be made).
Download or read book Pathways to Possibility written by Rosamund Stone Zander and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rosamund Zander is a miracle. Her generous voice will resonate with you, change you and help you create work that matters." —Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception The bestselling author of The Art of Possibility returns with a new vision for achieving true human fulfillment that's sure to appeal to fans of Brene Brown's Daring Greatly and Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic As children, we develop stories about how the world works, most of which get improved upon and amended over time. But some do not, even as we mature in other ways. Opinionated, self-centered and fear-driven, these “child stories” are the source of the behavioral and emotional patterns that hold us back. When we learn to identify and rewrite these stories, limitless growth becomes possible. In her groundbreaking and inspiring new book, Rosamund Stone Zander shows us that life is a story we tell ourselves, and that we have the power to change that story. She illuminates how breaking old patterns and telling a new story can transform not just our own lives, but also our relationships with others—whether in a marriage, a classroom, or a business. Finally, she demonstrates how, with this new understanding of ourselves and our place within an interconnected world, we can take powerful action in the collective interest, and gain a sense of deep connection to the universe. Pathways to Possibility expands our notions of how much we can grow and change, whether we can affect others or the world at large, and how much freedom and joy we can experience. Stimulating and profound, it is the perfect companion to her beloved first book, The Art of Possibility.

This major factor is often not even considered when looking for a boarding stable only because it hasn't been talked about in detail until now! If you are a horse owner than I encourage you to get this book and start looking at horse boarding in a whole new way. Barn owners and managers - this book is equally important for you to read because it will help you design and layout exactly what kind of boarding stable you want in ALL operations including special services and chores! This book is easy to read with straightforward and honest questions and answers that will open your eyes to boarding stable practices. After you read this book your knowledge is going to equip you to make smart and informed decisions when it comes to choosing a horse boarding stable and help avoid a mismatch for both you and more importantly your horse. IT WILL NOT MATTER if you have the best trainer or most expensive saddle and tack if your horse is stressed out due to his living conditions!! If he is not getting enough to eat or can't get to the hay because he is on the bottom of the pecking order in the herd, or is constantly being chased down, then lessons, training and other activities will never be as good as they could be because he will not perform at his best. If he is limited on water due to it being frozen or not topped off then you are compromising his health and well-being. This is only the beginning of things to think about when looking for a boarding stable for the horse you love so dearly.
