Book Description
Book 3 of the Morning Star Stables series Summer is trickling in, and a new show season, and life, is on the horizon at MS stables. When Whim is confirmed pregnant by Dr. Weffler, the influx of hormones has transformed her from the spicy and unpredictable mare she used to be, into a beautiful English Pleasure mount. However, the memories are hard to overcome, and Katie is struggling to form a bond with her partner for the season -- but with Lightning officially retired, she has no other choice if she wants to ride on the green shavings at Nationals. For the first time ever, Katie is nervous about her class and almost quits before Claire steps in with some solid advice that has her rethinking her whole outlook on the sport. Finally at Regionals, a health emergency almost takes the life of one of their four-legged friends and Haley is questioning all her decisions when Cody heads back to Arial Farms with no goodbye. A new horse, in a new division, and new age bracket, is proving that Katie still has a lot to learn if she ever wants to be a professional trainer in this world that she loves. On her own rollercoaster of emotions, Haley is once again struggling with her leads, and barely makes it through the class with a clean ride. The dream of two sets of red roses may have to wait, as the girls realize that Amateur status is a whole lot harder than they imagined. With a health emergency at Nationals and Whim going into early labor, Katie makes a brash decision that will change the fate of MS stables forever.

Book Description
A book chock-full of answers to horse-behavior questions that will change your horse's life for the better. Horses want partners they trust. Meeting their need for security makes them more tuned-in, calmer, and more reliable. In her engaging book, highly illustrated with professional color photographs, certified riding instructor Lynn Acton, MS, shows you how, with practical step-by-step instructions. You’ll see that progress can be surprisingly fast with methods that are gentle, time-tested, backed by science, and that make intuitive sense to your horse. Discover how to earn trust and make training more efficient by engaging horses’ innate intelligence, maintaining clear two-way communication, and considering their point of view. This leadership approach has been used successfully for centuries by people of all backgrounds and skill levels on horses at all levels of training. Acton refers to this relationship as Protector Leadership because you are the horse’s protector. In these pages, she combines extensive horse experience and an academic background in social dynamics with in-depth research. She interprets and cites the scientific findings that explain why Protector Leadership works, and offers valuable insights into equine psychology while exposing myths that are sources of problems. Plus, Acton includes “Things to Try” at the end of each chapter—fun and easy-to-implement exercises that help you engage your horse as a thinking partner Throughout, the narrative includes stories of Acton's progress with her own horses, including mistakes and hindsight, and especially the transformation of the book’s "cover girl" Brandy from a dangerous throwaway to a happy, reliable partner. Clear, detailed photographs show the subtle body language of horses and people, and illustrate critical interactions that make a real difference in our relationships, communication, and training. These are a few of the concrete skills you will learn: · Earn trust starting the moment you meet a horse. · Recognize “misbehavior” that actually means your horse is thinking like a partner. · Turn pressure into clear communication instead of stress. · Use Positive Reinforcement for better learning, behavior, and reliability. · Turn anxiety and spooks into confidence building situations. · Discourage unwanted behavior without punishment. · Allow your horse appropriate choices and freedom. As your bond strengthens, you can enjoy watching your horse’s true personality blossom. A thoughtful, progressive book for riders of all disciplines and students of the horse of all experience levels.

Book Description
In modern Western society horses appear as unexpected visitors: not quite exotic, but not familiar either. This estrangement between humans and horses is a recent one since, until the 1930s, horses were fully present in the everyday world. Indeed, as well as performing utilitarian functions, horses possessed iconic appeal. But, despite the importance of horses, scholars have paid little attention to their lives, roles and meanings. This volume helps to redress the balance. It considers the value that the influential elite placed on horses as essential accompaniments to their way of life and as status symbols, as well as the role that horses played in society as a whole and the people who used and cared for them. Contributors include Greg Bankoff, Pia F. Cuneo, Louise Hill Curth, Amanda Eisemann, Jennifer Flaherty, Ian F. MacInnes, Richard Nash, Gavin Robinson, Elizabeth Anne Socolow, Sandra Swart, Elizabeth M. Tobey, Andrea Tonni, and Elaine Walker.
