Twenty-four struggling six-year-olds, one angry young horse, and a
teacher who wouldn't give up. In this powerful book, part memoir
and part how-to, master teacher Alix Moore shares with us how she
learned to teach the unteachables. We follow her journey as she
struggles with challenging animal and human students, surrenders
ego, finds patience, and ultimately succeeds because of her
unshakable conviction that all her students can learn.
One for horse lovers Winston is a good-looking palomino horse whose
life involves several different owners and many adventures. As you

education and the different people he encounters - good, bad and

experiences of other horses he meets along life's way. Whether it's
jumping, eventing, hunting or just hacking, Winston tries hard to

breaking-in to his show jumping win. It is an eventful life - the
story of one Australian horse out of thousands, but one that you
will remember.
