Riding Through It is a collection of stories written by equestrian women who have shown up openly and honestly. We describe ourselves as "horse people" and sometimes we describe ourselves as crazy too. Perhaps that goes hand in hand with deciding to love something so deeply. That love has the potential to make or break us- depending on how open we are to learning the lessons horses teach us. We are proud to be among the world's horse people, and the stories we share with you on these pages will show you why, strengthen your pride as a horse person, or maybe even make you wish you were one too.In this book, you will read stories of loss, heartbreak, grief, fear, pain, and rock bottom, but because of horses, you will also see them transform into stories of hope, resilience, love, awareness, self-acceptance, confidence, compassion, and awakenings. No two stories are alike. Each writer and the experiences they share with us are as unique as they are, but there is a thread that weaves each story together and connects every equestrian in the world: Horses test and transform us.

Nonfiction book about famous and unheralded horses in history.

Based on social media statistics, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling is arguably the most popular horse trainer in the world, with more than one and a half million "likes" on Facebook and just one of his many YouTube videos viewed more than 2.6 million times. At a certain point in time he invited people to join him as part of a very small select group to study with him full-time for a year. Urgently in need of a meaningful change of life, a man decides to cross the world together with his wife, a horse and a dog to be part of that small select group of people. He too would like to learn how to dance with horses. Perhaps it will then also be possible for him to teach others to do the same one day. He expects it to be life-changing. It is. This is the third part of his story.

"In 1974 a disenfranchised young man from a broken home set out to do the impossible. John Egenes saddled his horse Gizmo and started down the trail on an adventure across the North American continent. Their seven month journey took them across 11 states from California to Virginia, ocean to ocean. As they left the pressing confinement of the city behind them, the pair experienced the isolation and loneliness of the southwestern desert, the vastness of the prairie, as they rode through the great landscapes that make up America. Across hundreds of miles of empty land they slept with coyotes and wild horses under the stars, and in urban areas they camped alone in graveyards and abandoned shacks. Along the way John and Gizmo were transformed from inexperienced horse and rider to veterans of the trail. With his young horse as his spiritual guide John began to comprehend his own place in the world in a search to find peace within himself. Full of humor and heart, Egenes serves up a tale that as big as the America he witnessed--an America that no long exists--on a journey that could only have been experienced step by step, mile by mile, from between the view between a horse's ears."

Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse describes celebrated horse trainer Mark Rashid's experiences with one special--and especially challenging--horse named Buck. Mark finds that Buck &;s unique personality teaches him a wealth of information about how to build a strong relationship with what may initially seem like a difficult horse. During his time with Buck, Mark not only trains Buck but also observes how Buck "trains" other horses in order to maintain a stable and respectful group. Mark comes to understand that there are six underlying principles to both Buck and Mark's most successful horse training techniques: non-confrontation, planning ahead, patience, persistence, consistency, and "fix it and move on." The second half of the book is devoted to demonstrating how horse owners can apply the six principles to their own experiences in horse training. Mark Rashid is unique among writers of horse training books for his skill at teaching trainers to lead by example rather than by force, using clear and consistent methods. In the afterword, Mark Rashid reflects on what he has learned since first writing about Buck, and how Buck &;s life allowed Mark to dramatically improve his own emotional and physical well-being. Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse is essential reading for all compassionate horse owners who care about cultivating a mutually respectful and satisfying relationship with their horses.
