Pages : 303
Book Description
The popular and highly respected horse trainer Mark Rashid brings together Western and Eastern philosophies to demonstrate a seamless new incarnation of horse training. After years of helping “difficult” horses, Mark Rashid understands how to build the foundation of a horse’s training and resolve any problems encountered along the way. He explains how he allows the traditionally firm or assertive approach of the old Western style to take some lessons from the softer conflict resolution and ego reduction approach that the Japanese martial art of aikido teaches. Rashid’s ultimate goal is for harmony between horse and rider.

Autobiography of a Nobody
Author: Tom Widdicombe
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1105436160
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
If you are reading this some time in the future, my hope would be that this book will give you a small insight into life in Britain in the last half of the twentieth century. I was born in 1950 and this is the story of my adventures over the following 60 years. This is a nobody in particular's account of a 1950s childhood, the so-called Swinging Sixties, the hippy era, the first and second Glastonbury Festivals, the hippy trail to India, gurus and self-discovery, marriage, being a dad, divorce, marriage again, training horses, organic farming, getting a glimpse of old age, and a few other things along the way. When it comes to how to live your life, I'd say use it for what you enjoy doing, and definitely don't sell it down the river in exchange for a few quid an hour! Actually, add in a bit of love and peace and that's a pretty good description of the hippy philosophy that we have there.

Pages : 1031
Book Description
Cowgirl, Unexpectedly Settling down isn't an option… …not when her demons refuse to die. Since returning from Iraq, veteran Mackenzie Parish has tried to find a way back to herself. Out of cash, she hires on at a Wyoming ranch. The only problem? Riding a horse is much harder than riding a Harley. But her new bunkmate, the former bull riding champion Hank Nash, is just what she needs to take her mind off her saddle sores. Estranged from his daughter, Hank has a lot to make up for, but he intends to convince Mac she should stay until then. Unfortunately, even blue skies and miles of open land may not be enough to soothe Mac's restless soul. Or mute the constant call of the road. No one gets through life unscathed, and Hank can't fathom what Mac has survived. It will take time, patience, and love to help her through. But when deadly trouble comes to the Lazy S, will Mac hit the road, or will she choose the man who's helped mend her shattered soul? Cowboy, Untamed PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS MUST LOVE HORSES Sydney Teller has a lot to prove… To the horse industry, to herself, and to the man who thinks she's nothing but trouble. All she needs is a chance. Deployments to Iraq taught Bryan "Boomer" Wilcox to be wary. And Sydney's tarnished family reputation makes him doubt she has what it takes to become the Lazy S Ranch's horse trainer. Though, it seems Sydney is determined to prove him wrong… …about so many things. But Bryan hasn't escaped the military without physical scars. And despite their attraction and budding relationship, it's Bryan's emotional wounds that have Sydney worried. When foul play threatens the ranch—and their lives—will Bryan discover he's the hero he's always been, or will his demons be stronger than their love? Cowboy, Undone PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS HOT ON THE TRAIL A second chance at first love. All Jenna Nash ever wanted was her equine therapy program… … and Quinn Powell. At least she has her program. One out of two isn't bad. Except, when tragedy strikes the Lazy S, forcing Quinn back to the ranch, Jenna's program may get closed down before it gets started. Jenna wants to save the program. Quinn wants answers… … and back into the cockpit after a possible career-ending injury. Now they must work together to find the truth. But the truth is uglier and more dangerous than either one of them imagined. Even if they can put their pasts behind them, they have more to fear than losing their hearts… … they could lose their lives.

Dorks, Dweebs, Debutantes, and Jocks—Where would you fit in? Being the new girl is tough—just ask sixteen-year-old Rio Jones. A New York transplant, Rio has no clue how she's going to fit in at her fancy new private school in Southern California. Plus, being late, overdressed, and named after a Duran Duran song doesn't make the first day any easier for her. Then Rio meets Kristi. Beautiful, rich, and a cheerleader, Kristi is the queen bee of Newport Beach. And Kristi isn't friends with just anyone, so Rio is thrilled when she's invited to be part of the most exclusive, popular clique. Of course, like any club, Kristi and her friends have rules: Always smile (even if you don't mean it), always dress cute (and never repeat outfits), and always flirt (but only with jocks, preps, and rich college guys). At first Rio is having a great time, but as she becomes more immersed in this jet-set crowd, she figures out there is one last rule that her new friends forgot to mention: Don't cross Kristi . . . in Alyson Noël's Art Geeks and Prom Queens.

Join him n a vivid journey that takes you into the beating heart of 1960s and '70s working class Manchester: through give decades of football (and a bit of cricket), music and people, in the eyes and ears of an everyday bloke who turned constant failure into final triumph.
