Come along with Joe and Kathleen as they learned what to do, how to do it, and why. And why and how it very simply changed everything with their horses. The stories you love and the information you need will always be with you. What Readers and Critics Are Saying About Joe Camp "Joe Camp is a master storyteller."

If you have ever wished you could get your horse to consistently perform to the best of his ability, On Target Training is for you. This effective new method combines the basics of clicker training (widely used on marine mammals and dogs) with a step-by-step target system that assures training success for any breed or any age horse. Karrasch explains reward reinforcement training in a way that makes it easy to learn. She guides the reader through all the basics, including teaching the bridge signal (using the clicker) and employing hand-held and stationary targets; she then cover aspects of training horses both on the ground and under saddle. Training advice is provided for: specific riding disciplines jumping, Western riding, dressage, and trail; behavior problems; trailer loading; working with young horses; and last of all, just for fun, teaching tricks. Shawna says: "A degree in psychology is not required to train animals. It is, however, helpful. All of the work we do as animal trainers (with horses too) is based in psychology, whether we are aware of it or not. The more you understand about these proven principlesthe better you are as a trainer. The focus of my training is helping people to gain a better understanding of behavioral psychology and the benefits of positive reinforcement in regards to horse training. I chose to make the move to horses partly due to the lack of positive reinforcement being used with horses. I recognized that horses were not trained the same as the marine mammals. I also saw that the training we implemented at Sea World would be a huge asset to the horse world. A lot of horse people, including professionals, don't know much about the proven principles of behavioral psychology. Therefore, I see a bigger need in helping horse folk to further understand the principles that govern the relationships we build with our horses.. It is really fun to see the light come on "

Alcohol. Lithium. Buddhist chanting. To quiet the voices in her mind, Sylvia Harris tried all of them. Her bipolar depression brought on bouts of erratic behavior and unsettling delusions. It led her to look for love in all the wrong places and to create a family she had difficulty caring for. But it was at the nadir of her twenty-year battle with this devastating illness that Harris found redemption in the least likely of places--an equine ranch outside Orlando, Florida.

Written with an unflinching eye toward her weaknesses and a reverent wonder at the healing power of horses, Long Shot is Harris's tale of perseverance in which an underdog in life becomes a champion on the track and her Thoroughbred becomes a beacon of hope.

Why was the book "The Horse Crucified and Risen" by Alexander Nevzorov burned by the president of the Russian FEI in the presence of hundreds of event visitors and TV crews? This book was a best-seller in Russia, demanding several print runs. It changed the worldview of thousands of people. This is the first book in history to reveal the whole truth about the painful essence of equestrian sport, the true story of the cavalry and the history of those cruel instruments of strict enforcement that people have used for horses over almost thirty centuries, never thinking that there is a completely different way... Alexander Nevzorov, a brilliant thinker and revolutionary, was one of a few people who understood the core of equestrian sport and was not afraid to call things aloud by their names. He was the first and the only one to expose equestrian sport for what it really is: ..". Equestrian sport by nature can't be even defined as a sport. Yes, any sport includes records and victories, but these records and victories are gained by one's own sweat and blood, by one's own pains and efforts. And equestrian sport (if we study the issue) represents parasitizing on the physical abilities of another living being which does not want to be engaged in this sport, but is forced to it by pain and beating. So how the hell can we call that a sport?" Alexander Nevzorov is a renowned Russian journalist, film director, politician, scientist, writer and horseman. He is founder of the Horse Revolution and Nevzorov Haute cole - the art of horsemanship in its highest form, where he has managed to keep the tradition of Classical School horsemanship without a bit or bridle for collection. He is the author of many films including "The Horse Crucified and Risen" and "NHE Principles," as well as hundreds of articles and many books.

"The Rodeo Road" offers twenty short stories that portray a rodeo cowboy's career from kids' rodeos through competition on the professional rodeo circuit. From fifteen years participation as a rodeo contestant the author brings to life the people and places that he knew while traveling the rodeo road. Although the names and places have been changed, the stories are mined from the author's own experiences and ring true to what most people could expect if they went rodeoing. Meet the kids that develop their skills at home on the ranch riding a "cowboy-engineered" bucking barrel for practice and then hold a winter rodeo in the barnyard on a dark freezing night. Travel halfway across Kansas to win a check and get hung up in a stirrup, all on the same ride. Get to know, personally, all nine saddle bronc riders as they compete at the big rodeo in Camwalla. Feel the thrill of "strapping your wood" on the greatest bronc of all time. Experience such diverse yet historic events as Houston's Livestock Show and Rodeo and Milburn's "Oldest Rodeo." Slip into a pair of well-worn boots and feel the weight of 400 cubes under the hood as you and Sid knife through the Colorado mountains on an 800 mile run competing at three rodeos in three days. Best of all, share in the grueling test of ten go-rounds at the National Finals Rodeo as you ride with Blain Connor when he takes on the top fifteen bronc riders in the world and challenges championship bucking stock in a quest to see what he's made of. You're on the rodeo road and you are eating, sleeping, traveling and competing with the men and animals of rodeo as they really are.

Does it scare the devil out of you when your horse throws himself in the air?
It should
Wanna make riding fun again?
You can
But how? How do you fix this -- when the very touch of the reins sends your horse up and over? When things escalate so fast?
Start by asking yourself what you were doing seconds before your horse reared the last time. The odds are pretty good you were trying to stop or back up - and you were applying even pressure on both reins as you asked.
In "When Your Horse Rears: How to Stop It" we'll train your horse to accept pressures typically associated with stopping and backing and the like. We'll learn the theory and practice allowing us to soften and relax our horse, giving us greater control over his mind and various body parts. We'll teach respect for the bit while building smooth transitions from standing to walk to trot to lope.
In the end, you'll be able to make ordinary requests, (to "stop" or "back," for instance), without fear that your very pressure is an overt invitation to rear up. In fact, once you've put the time in, you'll be amazed at the difference made in your overall control, safety and enjoyment.
With this guide, you will teach your horse to:
- Keep his feet on the ground
- Deal (well) with increased pressure
- Pick up the correct leads
- Move his hips independently
- Drop his head immediately
You can't make your horse stop rearing with a "bigger, badder bit." You've got to retrain the brain. This downloadable book shows you the steps you must take to put an end to this scary and very dangerous habit:
- Greatly improve your ground control
- Get your horse amazingly soft on the bit
- Greatly improve your brakes
- Follow easy, step-by-step exercises for lasting changes
- Cure a nightmare situation that could put you in the E.R.
This is true "Do It Yourself" training - and only you can decide if this is something you, personally, are up for. Horse training can be a dangerous activity - so if you have any doubts whatsoever in your abilities, then I suggest you purchase and read this book simply for the deeper understanding you will glean - and then hire a pro for help and guidance.
"When Your Horse Rears: How to Stop It" is broken down into five "Days" or sessions:
- Day 1: Start turning your horse's first thoughts from "fight" to "give"
- Day 2: Teach your horse respect for rein pressure -- and do it where you're safest: on the ground
- Day 3: He can't rear with his head on the ground Teach your horse to drop his head and "calm down now"
- Day 4: Gain "Control of the Hips" and get a great way to calm or slow any horse in a bad situation
- Day 5: Teach perfect transitions, tune up your brakes and nail your lead departures

Written for buyers of standardbred yearlings, "A Guide to the Lexington and Harrisburg Yearling Sales," contains almost 300 pages of information that has never been published. The author has created a metric to measure the success of the 5,685 horses sold at the Lexington and Harrisburg Sales from 2008 through 2010. Yearlings from these two sale venues must earn a minimum of $50,000 as two-year olds in order to be considered successful. The author provides a multitude of charts which illustrate the highest success rates in the production of these elite performers among sires, broodmare sires, crosses, farms, consignors, raced and unraced dams, price, birth order and much more. The data is detailed by sale venue, gait and gender. The information and analysis will be invaluable for the prospective yearling buyer. Stan Bergstein said it best in his review of Carl's previous book "Profiles of Two-Year Old Standardbreds Earning $50,000 and Up" "If you are interested in being an informed buyer, if you like playing the percentages in your favor, if you want to operate with something more than a wing and a prayer when picking yearlings, then you had better go to the sales with a copy of Carl Palumbo's valuable and excellent work close by..." The Lexington and Harrisburg Sales are highly competitive. Only 7.1% of the horses sold from 2008 - 2010 earned $50,000 or more at two. Using this book can increase the chances of getting that elusive, elite performer and provide an edge over other buyers. Going to the Sales without this book is like going to the races without a program.

Every year, thousands of dollars are spent in the U.S. on horse training and riding lessons. Technique and training are important keys to a rewarding "ride," but a horse's physical, emotional and mental comfort are just as important, and often misunderstood or overlooked. "What we perceive to be 'bad behavior' is very often the result of ... any number of physiological conditions that our horses are unable to describe to us." Inspired by a true story, Sandi Bell examines symptoms and possible sources of pain or discomfort that cause resistant behavior so often mistaken for disobedience. Easy-to-understand text with correlating illustrations and photos allow a reader to have insight into the missed influences affecting our horses. "Thursday's cantering challenge was so clear to me. He wasn't trying to disobey the rider ... it was that he was hurting. His inability or refusal to pick up the canter was purely because he was in pain." Responsible horse handlers will benefit from this powerful information. Before The 'Crop' Comes Out offers a fresh perspective-steps we can take to support our horses instead of punishing them- a positive way to look at and approach horses with the respect they deserve. About the Author Sandi Bell is a horse owner, writer, consultant and instructor from the SF Bay Area. A passionate "horse advocate," she aspires to help other horse lovers understand and remedy behavioral issues not premeditated by the horse. Sandi's formal education began by attending clinics, symposiums and seminars from top horse professionals and she is currently working on a degree in Equine Science.
