Cecilia "CeCe" Ashby is finally escaping the toxic relationship that has consumed her entire adult life.. She returns to her hometown of Laurel Creek, Kentucky and her family's equestrian ranch unsure of what the future holds. It's time to move on, she just has no idea where to start. Nash Carter is the newly retired superstar of the Dallas Stars, Laurel Creek's hometown hero, local business owner and notorious bachelor. He's also the unofficial fourth sibling in the Ashby clan. It's been years since his days of tormenting and protecting CeCe with her older brothers Wade and Cole, but when CeCe returns to town unexpectedly and needs a job, he knows he has to have her and not entirely for business. In fact, Nash can't seem to take his eyes off of his best friend's much younger, vulnerable little sister and it seems she's been staring right back. Despite the many self-proclaimed reasons why they would never work, the fire between them ignites and they form a little pact of rules before jumping into the flames. As 'just one night' turns into many, Nash quickly learns that where CeCe Ashby is concerned his typical rules simply don't apply. Now he has to figure out if he can push his past trauma aside enough to have the life he never expected to want. A life he's both terrified to live and terrified to lose. All he has to do to have it all? Take a deep breath and let go of the reins.

Download or read book What I d Teach Your Horse written by Keith Hosman and published by Keith Hosman. This book was released on 2012-08-03 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you broke your horse to saddle and rode it for the first time yesterday, this book (chapter 1) is where you'd start tomorrow. If you have an older horse and you've taught him everything you know and he still don't know nothin', this book is where you'd start, (chapter 2). It's a roadmap to building the foundation every horse needs, regardless of age, breed or background, regardless of what you've got ultimately planned for that horse. Afterwards, when your horse knows this book back to front, go train for barrels, roping, eventing, jumping or dressage. But today, basics are basics. Section I is the stuff your horse needs to know. Section II is the stuff (the theory) you need to know. Practice the first handful of chapters in order, as written. Beyond that, you should feel free to mix and match depending on your needs or abilities. Some chapters are dependent upon others - but in those cases, I've spelled out necessary prerequisites.

With the publication of this book then, I'm hoping to grab that distinction."

Download or read book When Your Horse Rears How to Stop It written by Keith Hosman and published by Keith Hosman. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does it scare the devil out of you when your horse throws himself in the air? It should! Wanna make riding fun again? You can! But how? How do you fix this -- when the very touch of the reins sends your horse up and over? When things escalate so fast? Start by asking yourself what you were doing seconds before your horse reared the last time. The odds are pretty good you were trying to stop or back up - and you were applying even pressure on both reins as you asked. In "When Your Horse Rears: How to Stop It" we'll train your horse to accept pressures typically associated with stopping and backing and the like. We'll learn the theory and practice allowing us to soften and relax our horse, giving us greater control over his mind and various body parts. We'll teach respect for the bit while building smooth transitions from standing to walk to trot to lope. In the end, you'll be able to make ordinary requests, (to "stop" or "back," for instance), without fear that your very pressure is an overt invitation to rear up. In fact, once you've put the time in, you'll be amazed at the difference made in your overall control, safety and enjoyment. With this guide, you will teach your horse to: - Keep his feet on the ground! - Deal (well) with increased pressure - Pick up the correct leads - Move his hips independently - Drop his head immediately - You can't make your horse stop rearing with a "bigger, badder bit." You've got to retrain the brain. This downloadable book shows you the steps you must take to put an end to this scary and very dangerous habit: - Greatly improve your ground control - Get your horse amazingly soft on the bit - Greatly improve your brakes - Follow easy, step-by-step exercises for lasting changes - Cure a nightmare situation that could put you in the E.R.! This is true "Do It Yourself" training - and only you can decide if this is something you, personally, are up for. Horse training can be a dangerous activity - so if you have any doubts whatsoever in your abilities, then I suggest you purchase and read this book simply for the deeper understanding you will glean - and then hire a pro for help and guidance. "When Your Horse Rears: How to Stop It" is broken down into five "Days" or sessions: - Day 1: Start turning your horse's first thoughts from "fight" to "give" - Day 2: Teach your horse respect for rein pressure -- and do it where you're safest: on the ground - Day 3: He can't rear with his head on the ground! Teach your horse to drop his head and "calm down now" - Day 4: Gain "Control of the Hips" and get a great way to calm or slow any horse in a bad situation - Day 5: Teach perfect transitions, tune up your brakes and nail your lead departures Plus, the second half of the book offers 9 more chapters you should know if you ride a "rearing horse": - How to Pick Up Your Reins Like a Pro - The Reins: 5 Ways to Improve Your Use - Rider Checklists - Whoever Moves First, Loses - How to Teach a Horse to Pivot on Its Hindquarters - When You Get On, Do This First - Is My Horse Hard to Train... Because of His Feet? - See Yourself Leading When Riding - Training Magic: Release On the Thought See the first half of this book as a set of detailed instructions designed to fix your horse; see the second half as a way to develop and improve you the rider/trainer, your training habits and methods.
