Book Synopsis Core Conditioning for Horses by : Simon Cocozza
Download or read book Core Conditioning for Horses written by Simon Cocozza and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gentle ways to improve the horse’s core fitness while relieving pain related to conditions such as kissing spine. Every equestrian wants to know: what is the difference between the horse that “dances” when you are on him, and the one that doesn’t? According to Visconte Simon Cocozza, Trainer and Examiner for the La Fédération Française d'Equitation (FFE), it all comes down to the horse’s posture. The horse’s ability to use the powerful mechanisms already built into his body relies not upon the strength we can see on the outside but the strength on the inside. This invisible and complex arrangement of internal “core” muscles control the horse’s posture, suppleness, and agility. Their good condition is the key to the dance. Equine core muscles are very difficult to isolate with the traditional training techniques common to horse sports. However, by examining what we do with the human body when faced with a weak core, we can find new methods for conditioning these areas of the equine body. Cocozza has taken principles of the human practice of yoga and used them to develop novel ways of reaching deep within the horse’s body and: Gently “unlock” areas that may be a little “rusty.” Improve core fitness. And even relieve pain related to conditions such as kissing spine. In this highly illustrated book, he provides step-by-step instruction explaining easy mounted exercises that enhance the horse’s posture, and boost his confidence in his body and movement, making him easier to ride, and ultimately, the dance partner you’ve always imagined.

Book Synopsis In the Footsteps of Crazy Horse by : Joseph Marshall
Download or read book In the Footsteps of Crazy Horse written by Joseph Marshall and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimmy McClean is a Lakota boy—though you wouldn’t guess it by his name: his father is part white and part Lakota, and his mother is Lakota. When he embarks on a journey with his grandfather, Nyles High Eagle, he learns more and more about his Lakota heritage—in particular, the story of Crazy Horse, one of the most important figures in Lakota and American history. Drawing references and inspiration from the oral stories of the Lakota tradition, celebrated author Joseph Marshall III juxtaposes the contemporary story of Jimmy with an insider’s perspective on the life of Tasunke Witko, better known as Crazy Horse (c. 1840–1877). The book follows the heroic deeds of the Lakota leader who took up arms against the US federal government to fight against encroachments on the territories and way of life of the Lakota people, including leading a war party to victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Along with Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse was the last of the Lakota to surrender his people to the US army. Through his grandfather’s tales about the famous warrior, Jimmy learns more about his Lakota heritage and, ultimately, himself. American Indian Youth Literature Award
Book Synopsis What Horses Really Want by : Lynn Acton
Download or read book What Horses Really Want written by Lynn Acton and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Synopsis Training and Retraining Horses the Tellington Way by : Linda Tellington-Jones
Download or read book Training and Retraining Horses the Tellington Way written by Linda Tellington-Jones and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised edition of the inspiring bestseller, now in paperback with new good rider profiles! This book is exactly what you need to become a better rider. It's a smart, honest, on-target kick-in-the-pants, guaranteed to rev your engines as you see how a few changes in your life, a few smart choices and strategic moves, can transform you from a run-of-the-mill rider into a good one. How does Denny Emerson know what makes a good rider? For one thing, he is one—he is the only rider in the world to have won both a gold medal in international eventing and a Tevis Cup buckle in endurance. Plus, he's been around great riders, and taught those on their way to becoming great, for over 40 years. How will what Denny knows help you become a good rider? He's boiled the whole thing down into seven broad "Areas of Choice" that determine whether you are a "gonnabe" or whether you'll be stuck in the "wannabe" category for decades. Examine how your choice of riding sport may or may not be the best for who you are and where you live. Find out how those frustrating hurdles known as "life circumstances" don't necessarily hold you back like you think they do. Learn how to build a strong support team by winning people to your cause and choosing the right teachers and mentors. Analyze your physical self (your body, how it is formed and how you care for it) and your intellectual self (your "horse smarts" and how you are adding to them or not) and apply the results to your "gonna-be-good" equation. Take a good hard look at your partner—your horse—and think critically about his ability to help you attain your riding goals. Discover the nine key character traits of successful riders and how you can learn to call each one of them your own. Along the way you'll read the stories of 23 of the world's top riders from different disciplines and sports—including dressage, reining, driving, show jumping, endurance, hunter/jumper, and eventing—and how they "got good" despite the same kinds of challenges and setbacks you face in your own day-to-day riding. You'll get an inside look at their path to success, as well as their very best tips for how to "make it" in the horse industry.
Book Synopsis Yoga for Dragon Riders by : Katrina Hokule'a Ariel
Download or read book Yoga for Dragon Riders written by Katrina Hokule'a Ariel and published by Artprana Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breathe Magic Into Your Yoga Practice A feeling of freedom, inner peace, feeling good in your body, clarity of mind-these are some of the things yoga can bring when you integrate its practices into your daily life. This beautifully illustrated book invites you to infuse the wisdom and tools of yoga with the soaring capabilities of your imagination, going beyond the mundane and into the realm of the extraordinary. What does yoga have to do with dragons? Well, in the symbolic sense, dragons can represent the energy of the breath, opening to its nourishing current like the spreading of wings. The movement of asana (yoga postures) on your mat can be like riding a dragon, requiring skill, strength, focus and courage. Dragons are wisdom-keepers, and yoga's wisdom is seemingly infinite. And the mystical energy of Kundalini-the rising serpent-could easily be represented by a dragon as well. Perhaps you even believe in dragons. Many people do, you know. Dragons have long symbolized power and transformation. To claim your power is to embrace your entire self, as well as the mission or purpose of your life. This book merges the realms of fantasy and reality, offering you a very readable yet incredibly detailed journey through the study of yoga. Though the theme of this book is light-hearted and unconventional, the subjects covered are comprehensive to the extent that this book has been used in teacher trainings and by yoga teachers to deepen their own knowledge. That said, a raw beginner receives a wonderfully accessible guide to the full spectrum of yoga as well, going beyond the physical asanas to the philosophies and meditative practices of yoga. When it comes to the physical practice of yoga, you'll find hundreds of photos and exceptional alignment instruction. As with the entire book, the asana section is designed so you can "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure." You are invited to do the poses that work for your body and just look at the pretty pictures if it isn't something you want to do right now. Beginners can focus on the single pose descriptions, and build simple sequences from the full ones offered. For the advanced and intermediate practitioners, you'll find creative and engaging sequences that will challenge you in the most delightful way Here is a Preview of What You Will Receive: Friendly, accessible instruction that allows you to start doing yoga right awayEasy to understand explanations of yoga's philosophical foundations, with encouragement to take what works for you and let the rest go, Step-by-step alignment cues to some of yoga's most fundamental (and fun) poses, Comprehensive yoga asana sequences that you can tailor to your own level of practice, A wealth of meditations and affirmations that gently but powerfully bring you a sense of clarity and calm, Energy healing techniques and visualizations, Step-by-step instruction on breathing practices (pranayama), A sense of personal empowerment, and much, much more Check Out What Others Are Saying . . .
