Download or read book Chariots and Horses written by Jason Dorland and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2011 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the 2012 Olympic Games on the horizon, talk of high-level performance, achievement, going for gold and motivational strategy is already rising in pitch. Former Olympic rower Jason Dorland knows how important it is to convey the right message about winning. In this compelling memoir, he shares his challenging journey to cultivate a healthier outlook. Detailing his experiences rowing with the Canadian National Rowing Team and later coaching high-school crews, he reveals how a devastating performance at the 1988 Olympics defined his life for years to come. "In it to win it," he fell apart when that didn't happen. The same win-at-all-costs mentality that made the Olympic loss so hard to bear was also what made it difficult for him to move forward, despite his efforts to overcome his overwhelming sense of failure. An honest, intimate look at the reality of high-level athletics, Jason's memoir is more than a sports story.

Download or read book Horse Spirits Speak written by Kathy Pike and published by PTR Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaos. Stress. Disconnection. Almost everyone feels one or all of these symptoms in our high-paced age. No wonder that when we see a field with horses grazing in peace, we have such a strong visceral experience. Our heart rate slows down and we long for the same sense of harmony. Horse Spirits Speak: On Love, Presence, and Being Confident in a Chaotic World offers readers the opportunity to know that no matter what is happening in the world, they can access the same presence as horses do in their natural state. Horse Spirits Speak: On Love, Presence, and Harmony in a Chaotic World offers readers a framework to embody the horse's innate sense of harmony--in an instant. Horse Spirits Speak: On Love, Presence, and Being Confident in a Chaotic World, provides a concept similar to Conversations with God. The author has conversations with horses in spirit form and their ancient and unique wisdom allows for a journey of self-discovery through deepening a sense of one's authentic self and approaching life from another point of view. Wisdom imparted straight from the horse's mouth calms the reader, helps him or her to simplify their point of view, and find their way back to their authentic self. The book illuminates our world as seen from the way the horse navigates the challenges of its existence and offers inspirational advice to readers on how to canter joyfully through their lives. The teachings and stories in the book shift the reader to a more positive state and reconnects them spiritually with nature and the wisdom of horses. The further we get from experiencing the natural rhythm of nature, the greater our need for this reconnection. We all need this now more than ever. And rather than reach for a pill or a drink or other palliative actions, the reader is easily brought to a place of real connection and inner harmony. As a bonus, much of the information shared in this book is now backed up by recent studies in Quantum Mechanics.

Download or read book Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Coaching written by Andreas Liefooghe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on over a decade of sustained longitudinal research with a broad range of different user groups, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Coaching: An Evidence-Based Framework is an essential guide which offers both theoretical foundations and practical models for working with horses in psychotherapy and coaching. While not a panacea for distress and difficulties, the connections that humans find with horses can become a catalyst for deeper self-knowledge. By de-centring the human subject and placing the horse in the middle of the investigation, the ways in which humans make sense of themselves can be explored and more easily understood. Drawing on this wide spectrum of different client groups, the book features intervention studies with expelled teenagers, adults in addiction recovery programmes, children diagnosed on the autistic spectrum, people suffering from trauma and mental health problems, prisoners and even multi-national corporations wanting culture change. The practice of using horses in a psychological intervention is thoroughly scrutinised throughout, with ways of establishing successful change documented and assessed. Liefooghe’s analysis of these studies builds up to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for equine-assisted psychotherapy and coaching. This essential book offers psychotherapists, coaches and all those who work in a helping capacity a clear insight into what horses can and cannot do in a therapeutic role.

Download or read book The Carriage Trade written by Thomas A. Kinney and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2004-10-13 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-Winner of the 2005 Hagley Business History Book Prize given by the Busines History Conference. In 1926, the Carriage Builders' National Association met for the last time, signaling the automobile's final triumph over the horse-drawn carriage. Only a decade earlier, carriages and wagons were still a common sight on every Main Street in America. In the previous century, carriage-building had been one of the largest and most dynamic industries in the country. In this sweeping study of a forgotten trade, Thomas A. Kinney extends our understanding of nineteenth-century American industrialization far beyond the steel mill and railroad. The legendary Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company in 1880 produced a hundred wagons a day—one every six minutes. Across the country, smaller factories fashioned vast quantities of buggies, farm wagons, and luxury carriages. Today, if we think of carriage and wagon at all, we assume it merely foreshadowed the automobile industry. Yet., the carriage industry epitomized a batch-work approach to production that flourished for decades. Contradicting the model of industrial development in which hand tools, small firms, and individual craftsmanship simply gave way to mechanized factories, the carriage industry successfully employed small-scale business and manufacturing practices throughout its history. The Carriage Trade traces the rise and fall of this heterogeneous industry, from the pre-industrial shop system to the coming of the automobile, using as case studies Studebaker, the New York–based luxury carriage-maker Brewsters, and dozens of smallerfirms from around the country. Kinney also explores the experiences of the carriage and wagon worker over the life of the industry. Deeply researched and strikingly original, this study contributes a vivid chapter to the story of America's industrial revolution.

Download or read book Rider Biomechanics written by Mary Wanless and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rider Biomechanics is a collaboration between rider biomechanics coach Mary Wanless and functional anatomist Thomas Myers. Myer's seminal book Anatomy Trains explains how connective tissue joins muscles together into functional chains. Some of these chains extend from head to toe, and they are the 'lines of pull'. Elite riders excel in balancing the tension in their lines, creating a stable balanced structure which can transmit and redirect the forces of the horse's movement. Easy, fluid, sitting eludes less skilled riders - but this book, with its copious photographs and illustrations, provides a route map for reorganising 'lines of pull', sitting, and influence on one's horse. It is through balancing one's own lines that you learn how to balance one's horse, changing his carriage and movement, and discovering the secrets of the few talented riders who naturally possess those skills.
