Horse Woman: Notes on Living Well & Riding Better by Lee McLean Pdf

Lee McLean was born to ride ... and to write. In these pages, you will enter the world of a master horsewoman and ride with her through the seasons of the year, and the ages and stages of life. The stories come from a riding journal kept for over forty-five years, and the best of her Keystone Equine blogs. Distilled into one year, but made up of many, they reflect a life lived in the saddle. As much about human nature as about horses, this book will become a resource you turn to, again and again. It offers sound technical advice, paired with storytelling, humour and the gift of healing. "Destined to become a classic. I wish I'd had a copy when I was a girl." - Adrian 'Buckaroogirl' Brannan, Author and Singer "She inspires us to be more in tune with our horse partners ... and quite possibly, to be better people because of it." - Gary Rempel, 2009 Canadian Cowboy of the Year "Lee McLean is a friend and colleague who I consider to be one of the most knowledgeable women in the horse world today. She is authentic and common sense prevails, as you will come to understand, while reading Horse Woman." - Cub Wright, 2008 Canadian Open Cutting Champion

The Ride of Her Life by Elizabeth Letts Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The triumphant true story of a woman who rode her horse across America in the 1950s, fulfilling her dying wish to see the Pacific Ocean, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Horse and The Eighty-Dollar Champion “The gift Elizabeth Letts has is that she makes you feel you are the one taking this trip. This is a book we can enjoy always but especially need now.”—Elizabeth Berg, author of The Story of Arthur Truluv In 1954, sixty-three-year-old Maine farmer Annie Wilkins embarked on an impossible journey. She had no money and no family, she had just lost her farm, and her doctor had given her only two years to live. But Annie wanted to see the Pacific Ocean before she died. She ignored her doctor’s advice to move into the county charity home. Instead, she bought a cast-off brown gelding named Tarzan, donned men’s dungarees, and headed south in mid-November, hoping to beat the snow. Annie had little idea what to expect beyond her rural crossroads; she didn’t even have a map. But she did have her ex-racehorse, her faithful mutt, and her own unfailing belief that Americans would treat a stranger with kindness. Annie, Tarzan, and her dog, Depeche Toi, rode straight into a world transformed by the rapid construction of modern highways. Between 1954 and 1956, the three travelers pushed through blizzards, forded rivers, climbed mountains, and clung to the narrow shoulder as cars whipped by them at terrifying speeds. Annie rode more than four thousand miles, through America’s big cities and small towns. Along the way, she met ordinary people and celebrities—from Andrew Wyeth (who sketched Tarzan) to Art Linkletter and Groucho Marx. She received many offers—a permanent home at a riding stable in New Jersey, a job at a gas station in rural Kentucky, even a marriage proposal from a Wyoming rancher. In a decade when car ownership nearly tripled, when television’s influence was expanding fast, when homeowners began locking their doors, Annie and her four-footed companions inspired an outpouring of neighborliness in a rapidly changing world.

One Horsewoman to Another by Sheri Grunska Pdf

Ladies, this book was written for you. It is about women, business and horses and how we deal with all of it. This book will encourage and inspire and most of all remind you that you are not alone. I felt so passionate about writing this book because after talking with so many women throughout the country I quickly realized that we all have experienced the same struggles along the way. Working with horses and people for a living has its own unique set of challenges and no one could have prepared me for all I was going to experience as a woman and professional when we opened our boarding facility over ten years ago. This book will make you laugh and even tear up at times and you will find yourself shaking your head because you will relate to so much of it. As a woman, I much too often ran my horse business with emotion and those emotions led to many poor decisions early on. I didn't have boundaries in place to run a healthy business and I had much to learn about myself. I had to change as a businesswoman without changing who I was. It was a journey that took years and even though I am now comfortable in my skin as an equine professional, I believe that we are always changing and growing throughout our lives and that is a wonderful thing. This book is for women of any age that want to start a horse business or are already deep in to it. It doesn't matter if you are running a large facility or boarding some of your friends' horses. The challenges and emotions you will experience will be similar for both. From the very beginning of business ownership you life will change in ways that you never imagined and you will grow as businesswoman. You may find yourself in uncharted waters some days and I want you to know that you are not alone. No matter what part of the horse industry you have decided to work in, this book will encourage you on the path you are taking. We commonly compare ourselves to other professionals and sometimes fall short of our own expectations. At times this is an incredible struggle we go through and supporting each other is so important. You may start out as an insecure businesswoman who second guesses all you do for the horses in your care but you will grow and learn along the way and with that a wonderful confidence will evolve. You will experience feelings from total happiness to complete stress and even anger along the way. But if you hang in there you will eventually find a joy and peace because you are doing what you have always wanted to do...and you will truly believe deep inside that you are good at it. I talk about raising a barn and horse business while raising a family and trying to do all of it well. Having a horse business is so unlike any other career because you are dealing with animals that need your care every day of the week. As women we can feel isolated if we never get off the farm or ranch and because the job can take up so much of our time, getting away can be very challenging. If we are not careful it can wear us down and burn us out. This book is about looking deep inside and finding out what works best for your barn and horse business and above all else you. You have taken a huge chance and became an equine professional. You are living the dream. If you are feeling less than incredible right now then I encourage you to read this book and start to feel good about your career and your life as a professional horsewoman. SPECIAL NOTE - I feel so passionate about this subject and how we as women need to encourage each other in our personal and business life. I have included a page at the end of each chapter so that you can write down your personal thoughts and goals and use it as a journal.

Packing My Bags by Julie Ulrich Pdf

A book that entertains and teaches by turns, as a renowned horsewoman entwines stories from her remarkable life with horses with the classical lessons she learned along the way. From bareback romps on a Shetland Pony that bit her and dumped her in a water trough, to the top show jumpers she schooled and competed, and the winning "diamonds in the rough" she plucked out of obscurity and trained, the trajectory of horsewoman Julie Ulrich's life has followed a star-lit path of horses and stables and riding arenas across the globe. Say a name of a classical master or a leading rider of the past century, and the likelihood is high that she has brushed shoulders with, learned from, taught, or trained a horse for that equestrian. And so, it makes good sense that Ulrich should not only wish to share some of her adventures--her wins and losses, successes and hardships--but that she would assemble them in a unique manner that best showcases the two sides of who she really is: an incredibly hard worker with a sharp sense of humor; an eager adventurer who also loves teaching, and above all, believes in the value of a life lived for horses. This "two-sided approach" means that, as readers laugh at her witty asides, they'll also glean an authentic understanding of the horsemanship ideals that weave together equestrian sport's past with its present. They'll learn the names of movers and shakers and players and playmakers within the industry, and they'll come to value the relationships that are at the heart of anyone's success in the horse world. Between chapters, Ulrich summons the extraordinary teaching talent for which she might be best known and provides practical guidance and instruction on numerous topics, including: Rider balance and position. Training methodology. Half-halts and improving the use of horse's hind legs. Shoulder-in. Communication between rider and horse. And more. Using the multiple moves she terms "new beginnings" as her guideposts, Ulrich ensures readers understand that starting over and starting again and starting something new aren't precipices to avoid but opportunities to grow and change, and with horses, they are usually unavoidable. So you might as well ride forward with gusto. Rich with horse world history and chock full of invaluable wisdom gained over a lifetime of serious study and application, Ulrich's "memoir plus" is for every person who sat on a horse and thought, "I want to do this for the rest of my life."

Riding and Driving for Women (Classic Reprint) by Belle Beach Pdf

Excerpt from Riding and Driving for Women This book does not pretend to be an exhaustive treatise on the subject of horsewomanship. It is offered merely as a collection of the most important points gleaned in my career as a horse-lover and pro fessional horsewoman. While from experience alone a rider may evolve good form if she is a natural born horsewoman, yet this is so rare that, with most of us, a knowledge at the start of the general fundamen tal principles which are the basis of form in riding and driving, is essential. It was my good fortune to have my mother, Mrs. Emily S. Beach, lay the foundation for me and, similarly, these chapters may aid some of my readers.

That which takes but a moment to tell has taken me years to learn; learned as a pupil; learned as a teacher; learned by observation; learned by exhibition, by many a triumph, by many a heart-break; much of it a pleasure, much a hard task, but repaid always by my comrades through it all - the horses.

Equal to the Challenge by Jackie C. Burke Pdf

When women decided that they wanted to compete in horse sports as equals with men, it took courage and perseverance. The women on both sides of the Atlantic who fought to compete in the male-dominated sports of show jumping, dressage, eventing, and racing are the subject of "Equal to the Challenge." Jackie Burke interviewed many of these extraordinary women, and the book is richer for their simple, moving accounts of how they achieved their goals. Many had to endure rejection, humiliation, physical danger, and privation in order to take part in the horse sports they loved. Some women struggled doubly, since they had to overcome physical and financial handicaps. Young women and not just riders will find in this book worthy role models for our time. Jackie C. Burke is a journalist who has been involved in horse sports all her life and knows just about.
