Download or read book To Catch A Horse written by Amy Skinner and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Catch A Horse is honest, humble, insightful and, at times, funny. Its pages radiate concern for the horse and commitment to being the sort of person a horse would want. A thoroughly enjoyable read, To Catch A Horse will not only inspire you to better horsemanship, but it will illuminate the way. (Samantha Salomon) Amy's philosophy of having truly good intentions for your horse is something that all horse people need to remember. Too often we are lost in the world of training and competition and we forget that our horse is our greatest friend, and we should treat them that way. Changing our ways and experimenting with new things can be extremely uncomfortable, but as she reminds us here, we search for better ways to do things so that we and our equine partners may be peaceful and content, inside and out. (Stefanie Maihofer) Opening up this book is like sitting down at the kitchen table with a friend, where you feel connected by the quiet, and sometimes lively, conversation. There is a lot to take away from To Catch a Horse, but I keep coming back to this passage: "...we have to be able to offer real peace to the horse. To do that, we have to have peace with ourselves." Amy offers practical truths and consequences in To Catch a Horse that are hard to find anywhere else. (Julie Kenney)Amy is at the forefront of an exciting revolution that is focused on quality of life, for the horse as much as the human. (Kristen Anthony)To Catch a Horse is a must-have for those want an honest and refreshing look at horsemanship. Amy Skinner allows the reader into her world. Her willingness to challenge the status quo in the world of horsemanship demonstrates her drive to improve how the horse is seen and developed. The stories shared are skillfully worded to help the rider elevate their approach with understanding the horse. With each read, you'll find new nuggets of information. My favorites: The Problem with Training; Live Soft, Ride Soft: Bomb Proof or Shut Down; Questioning the 30-Day Start. (Michael Benner)

While riding in places as far-reaching as Mexico, Australia, and India, Chester is always grateful to come home to the comforts of her familiar horse.

Download or read book Channel Kindness Stories of Kindness and Community written by Born This Way Foundation Reporters and published by Feiwel & Friends. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller For Lady Gaga, kindness is the driving force behind everything she says and does. The quiet power of kindness can change the way we view one another, our communities, and even ourselves. She embodies this mission, and through her work, brings more kindness into our world every single day. Lady Gaga has always believed in the importance of being yourself, being kind to yourself, and being kind to others, no matter who they are or where they come from. With that sentiment in mind, she and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the world a kinder and braver place. Through the years, they've collected stories of kindness, bravery and resilience from young people all over the world, proving that kindness truly is the universal language. And now, we invite you to read these stories and follow along as each and every young author finds their voice just as Lady Gaga has found hers. Within these pages, you’ll meet young changemakers who found their inner strength, who prevailed in the face of bullies, who started their own social movements, who decided to break through the mental health stigma and share how they felt, who created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and who have embraced kindness with every fiber of their being by helping others without the expectation of anything in return. In one story, you’ll read about a young person with an autoimmune disease, who after being bullied at school, learned how to practice self-love and started an organization with the mission of educating others about the importance of self-love, too; and in another story, you’ll meet a young person who decided to start a movement to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraged others to talk about their feelings openly and honestly, a reminder that kindness and mental wellness go hand in hand. Not only were we moved by these individual acts of kindness, but we were also touched by the many stories of organizations, neighborhoods, and entire communities that fully dedicated themselves to helping those in need and found new, innovative ways to make our world a kinder and braver place. Individually and collectively, these stories prove that kindness not only saves lives but builds community. Kindness is inclusion, it is pride, it is empathy, it is compassion, it is self-respect and it is the guiding light to love. Kindness is always transformational, and its never-ending ripples result in even more kind acts that can change our lives, our communities, and our world.

Book excerpt: * Immerse yourself in the world of these graceful and beautiful animals * An important homage and a must-have book for any horse lover Horses, just horses, sans riders, saddles and bridles-- unless they're in a stall, it's not something you see much anymore. But this is precisely what Tony Stromberg, equine photographer extraordinaire, gives us. He photographs these graceful animals in a pure and natural way that no other photographer can match. And now, his most beautiful shots are collected in one breathtaking photo book: 'Horses'. Whether they're in stalls, in the paddock, or in fields and woods--Stromberg employs a perfect balance between light and shadow, unique composition, and a superlative feel for the right moment to make these majestic animals come alive, creating an authentic homage to a glorious creature. However, his pictures go far beyond merely depicting horses' beauty. Stromberg, a former advertising photographer, had his first encounters with horses in the 1990s at a time when he was suffering from terrible burnout himself. But in these gentle companions, he found, in his words, teachers and soulmates who helped him regain a sense of peace. The deep connection to horses he has built since then is clearly evident in his photos, which is what makes them so special. Text in English German and French AUTHOR: After building a successful career as an advertising photographer, Tony Stromberg followed his inner desire to find peace in nature and moved into fine art photography. More than 20 years ago, he decided to change his focus to equine photography, and he has since built up a substantial archive of fantastic shots. His studio is in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In addition to the many photography workshops he and his team lead all over the world, he enjoys spending time with horses in nature. 200 colour photos
