Following their family tradition, what her parents promise her is a horse of her own, one with four legs, not four wheels. Mom competes in endurance riding, Dad does calf roping, her older brother games and her older sister loves three-day eventing, but Robin proudly says that she doesn't do horses. She'll teach her controlling family a lesson by bringing home the worst horse she can find, a starved, abused two-year-old named Twaziem. Robin figures she'll nurse him back to health, sell him, and have the money for her car. Rescuing and rehabilitating the Morab gelding might be a bigger challenge than what she planned. He comes between her and her family. He upsets her friends when she looks after his needs first. Is he just an investment or is he part of her future? And if she lets him into her heart will she win or will she lose?

Download or read book Eat Like a Pig Run Like a Horse written by Anastacia Marx de Salcedo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no magic pill. There is no perfect diet. Could it be that our underlying assumption—that what we’re eating is making us fat and sick—is just plain wrong? To address the rapid rise of “lifestyle diseases” like diabetes and heart disease, scientists have conducted a whopping 500,000 studies of diet and another 300,000 of obesity. Journalists have written close to 250 million news articles combined about these topics. Yet nothing seems to halt the epidemic. Anastacia Marx de Salcedo’s Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse looks not just to data-driven science, but to animals and the natural world around us for a new approach. What she finds will transform the national debate about the root causes of our most pervasive diseases and offer hope of dramatically reducing the number who suffer—no matter what they eat. It all began with her own medical miracle—she has multiple sclerosis but has discovered that daily exercise was key to keeping it from progressing. And now, new research backs up her own experience. This revelation prompted Marx de Salcedo to ask what would happen if people with lifestyle illnesses put physical activity front and center in their daily lives? Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse takes us on a fascinating journey that weaves together true confessions, mad(ish) scientists, and beguiling animal stories. Marx de Salcedo shows that we need to move beyond our current diet-focused model to a new, dynamic concept of metabolism as regulated by exercise. Suddenly the answer to good health is almost embarrassingly simple. Don’t worry about what you eat. Worry about how much you move. In a few years’ time, adhering to a finicky Keto, Paleo, low-carb, or any other special diet to stay healthy will be as antiquated as using Daffy’s Elixir or Dr. Bonker’s Celebrated Egyptian Oil—popular “medicines” from the 1800s—to cure disease. And just as the 19th-century health revolution was based on a new understanding that the true cause of malaria, tuberculosis, and cholera was microorganisms, so the coming 21st-century one will be based on our new understanding that exercise is the only way to metabolic health. Fascinating and brilliant, Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse is primed to usher in that new era.

Download or read book Journey For A Blue Horse written by Scott Gertner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Journey For A Blue Horse, Riley Schiller survives his dysfunctional childhood by yearning to be the hero his grandfather encouraged him to be—a person someone might read about in books. But just as Riley begins to have the life he thought he always wanted, he finds himself engulfed in emptiness. The sudden loss of his job, his rocky marriage, and his constant self-doubt send him journeying as far away as Ireland, and deep inside himself, in quest of what has eluded him for so long. Riley must ultimately confront the choices he needs to make. Still groggy from a night of drinking, he slowly concluded this was not America, this was not his house, and this was certainly not his wife. Rubbing his eyes to better see through his confusion, the previous night began to make itself known. A dance, too much to drink, an attractive brunette, and loneliness constituted the important pieces of this puzzle. The woman lying next to him, Mary, he now recalled, retrieved him from the ladies’ room where he had wandered unwittingly. He also recalled hearing the word “haunted” whenever she looked at him, although he could not be sure what in his face prompted her remark. And he remembered how she listened and laughed at the gibberish he thought so profound. But soon he could not be sure he recollected any of it correctly. However, he did know for a fact he wanted to leave immediately.
