Linda Tellington-Jones, ranging from the 100-mile Tevis Cup Ride to
Hunter Trials at Pebble Beach. As a brilliant educator at her
Pacific Coast Equestrian Research Farm and School of Horsemanship,

stallion Hungarian Brado from a U.S. Equestrian Team reject into a
multi-discipline champion. At the Westwind Hungarian Horse Farm,

Have you ever wondered why, no matter how much you try to improve
your horse's way of going, it's a constant uphill struggle? I did
until I found out the saddle I was using was constantly working
against us. What I didn't expect was, once we found a comfortable
saddle, other things changed too. My horse became more comfortable
and compliant to ride and train even when he wasn't wearing it.
Looking back, I now also realise that most of the horses I have
ridden since childhood were being affected by uncomfortable
saddles. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It's true, there are other
things that can prevent a horse going at his best but the saddle is
often the last thing to be considered when perhaps it should be one
of the first. I hope you will take this brief guide to heart and
seriously compare it's contents to the behaviour of your own horse
and ask yourself, is he trying to tell you something?
Following UNbridled and UNtamed, the final in this trilogy explodes

change the lives of so many. UNscripted's protagonist Mike Bradley

shadowy past, coupled with his shock, ignites a journey to hell as
a heroin addict. After a brutal beating, a famous retired doctor
becomes the catalyst for Mike's dramatic recovery. Mike lives with
Doc and his family for three years until tragedy strikes, jolting
Mike back to reality. Mike leaves in search of his true love. He
takes a train ride on the Indian Pacific across the rugged outback
to Sydney. There, he reunites with his best friend Burton Phillips
and ruthless polo patron Jack Keating. Mike finds himself enmeshed
in the rich and famous world of polo. The Hunter Valley in Scone
becomes the backdrop as the story lifts the shroud of mystery
surrounding polo in a shocking manner, resulting in a massacre. As
the country prepares for the Australian Open, competition and greed
gain power, contributing to a senseless death. For more information
