Creative concepts and exercises that fundamentally improve your riding foundation, enabling you to excel in any training system or discipline.

‘Stable Core Training: A New Approach to Rider Alignment, Centering, Grounding, and Positive Tension for Elite Performance in the Saddle’ by Joyce Kramer

When horsewoman and certified personal trainer Joyce Kramer discovered that the riders most committed to fitness were not reaping the benefits of their improved athleticism on horseback, she abandoned the standard protocol for developing strength, endurance, and stability. Her background in the study of movement and holding patterns enabled her to develop her own unique approach to physical training capable of improving riding function and performance in such dramatic ways, it can bring out what she calls the “inner elite rider” in everyone.

With hundreds of images, tips, and exercises that can be modified according to age and ability, and an excitingly fresh perspective, this book can be the key to any rider reaching the next level in the saddle—whether that means excelling in a whole new division of competition, or recovering or rebuilding after time away from the sport. Every page is full of fun, engaging answers to your riding questions, ideas for clearing your stumbling blocks, and the endless promise of pursuing an activity you love in the company of your horse.

A remarkable follow-up from the author of Riding Home: The Power of Horses to Heal. If you were asked to make a list of all the people you love, how long would it take until you put yourself on the list?

‘Horses, Humans, and Love: Powerful Lessons from the Herd—Compassion, Self-Worth, True Partnering, Heartfelt Parenting’ by Tim Hayes

In Horses, Humans, and Love, his follow-up to Riding Home—the book Robert Redford called “A beautiful volume of healing and love between man and nature” and Temple Grandin said was “Essential reading”—Hayes explains how and why when humans emulate these 10 qualities of herd dynamics witnessed in horses in their own human relationships, they naturally express and thus demonstrate the true altruistic meaning of what we call “love,” both for others, and for ourselves.

Through his personal journey and inspiring stories of those he has worked with through the years, Hayes reveals how horses can teach us all how to compassionately reconnect with our shared global humanity and put an end to self-created, antagonistic, superficial human differences such as race, religion, nationality, wealth, and ideology. He shows us how horses have the ability to instantly remind us that we all share the same world, share the same fears and desires, and more than anything else, desperately desire to get along with each other.

In his thoughtful descriptions of his own experience and research, Hayes illustrates his spiritual and philosophical struggles to understand the state of the world today and how we each can work in simple yet impactful ways to make it better. His conclusions, having reflected upon and shared what he has learned through the horse, leave readers with an infectious optimism one might even call hope. His book, a gentle treatise for change from a remarkable horseman, will be enjoyed by all those seeking to improve their own lives and that of our global community.
