Don't Shoot the Dog
This rather shocking title by Karen Pryor is an excellent reference for behavioral training methods. She's got a great sense of humor, and after explaining all about her training theories, she breaks down the solving of variety of problems into 8 possible methods. The first one is "shoot the dog" (ie getting rid of the "doer" of the behavior, temporarily or permanently) Once that option is off the table, you've got 7 others - all viable for a variety of situations involving both humans and animals.

Fall Girl - My Life as a Western Stunt Double
by Martha Crawford Cantarini & Christopher J Spicer
Softcover, 225 pages

Regular Price $34.95 - Sale Price $29.95

Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, acclaimed horse trainer and show rider Martha Crawford Cantarini was among the busiest of Hollywood's elite corps of female stunt riders. She was the regular stunt double for such actresses as Eleanor Parker, Anne Baxter and Shirley MacLaine, appearing in films ranging from Elvis Presley's debut feature Love Me Tender to the epic western The Big Country. Martha also hosted a Las Vegas television program in the 1960s, while her palomino Frosty gained fame as "the gambling horse" after rolling a seven at the Thunderbird Casino craps table.

This fascinating insider's memoir of the American entertainment industry recounts Martha's personal and professional associations with Clark Gable, Ronald Reagan, Jean Simmons, and other Hollywood luminaries. Illustrated througout with black & white photos.

About the author:
Martha has worked with, and kept, horses all of her life, and loves and respects them. She has saved movie horses that studios were ready to sell off to the "glue factory" after they had outlived their usefulness in films. One such horse she saved was Midnight - the horse that Clint Eastwood had ridden in the Rawhide television series as his character Rowdy Yates.

When Martha began her career in stunt work, she was one of a small handful of ladies who dared perform that kind of work, and they pretty much did it all anonymously so that the stars themselves would get the credit. Few outside the motion picture industry knew of their hard and dangerous work and sacrifice. Martha was inducted into the Hollywood Stuntmen's Hall of Fame in 2004, and was a Golden Boot Award Honoree in 2005. She currently lives in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada with her husband John, who is a retired jockey. More here.

Item #TSWTTS
Turquoise Thermal Sherpa Lined Hood
With Wind Horse Embroidery

Regular Price $59.99 - Sale Price $49.99

This heavy hooded sweatshirt could double for a coat on all but the coldest days. The outer shell is constructed of thermal fabric, and it's lined with plush sherpa throughout. The seams are fashioned so that a bit of sherpa peeks through, for a casual, two-tone effect. It's cotton/poly blend so no shrinking, and it washes and dries beautifully with no special attention (yes, we tested it). The neck is taped to hold it's shape and minimize scratchiness against your neck. Zipper and eyelets are metal, and the drawstring on the hood is beefy enough to stay tied. We've embroidered it with our wind horse logo.

Color is Turquoise.

Available in Ladies' sizes S, M, L, XL, 2X

Guardians of Being Book Quote from the book-
"Just as the dog loves to chew bones, the human mind loves it's problems. We get lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating - lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. Nature can show us the way home..."

New-improved
Now lined with Waffle Weave Thermal fabric.
We never dreamed that we could top our old heavyweight crew sweat, but we did! Our testers loved this one. The multiple layers keep you toasty warm, and the waffle weave keeps you from overheating during exertion.

What's so great about this thermal lined stuff?
It's just so darn clever. (see above picture) Your long johns are sewn right inside the sweatshirt! These don't feel much bulkier than a regular sweatshirt, but that extra insulating layer makes a BIG difference in how warm you stay.

Cutout Austria Lipizzan Coin Necklace

This is a genuine 5 Shilling coin from Austria that features, appropriately, a Lipizzan horse executing the levade. It's HAND CUT by a craftsman here in Florida, USA - using (I am not kidding) a tiny saw blade and a whole lot of patience. The coin is worth about fifty cents of our money, but the hours spent crafting it into a work of art make it priceless!

The coin is the same size as one of our quarters, comes with 18" sterling silver chain.

Nowadays, many farriers sadly lack the opportunity to spend time working and studying with a wise mentor. In the past, farriery was a craft learned largely through apprenticeship under a skilled teacher who'd been taught the same way. These days, the basics of farriery can be learned through any number of short courses taken at vocational and farrier schools throughout the country. Anyone who's learned this way, and then gone on to attempt to shoe horses for the public will readily admit that the mentor system definately had it's merits.

This book (in my opinion) is the printed page version of the experienced, knowledgeable, and witty veteran that many farriers may never get the chance to spend time with. It's a collection of horseshoeing history in the United States, business management advice, explicit how-to instructions on the various shoeing procedures, interesting stories, and related trivia. Did you know that the man who developed the formula for Murine eye drops did so after having been swiped across the eyes by a horse's tail?

This no-nonsense text leaves out much of the fluffy terminology that hoof-care professionals are used to wading through in other books, and gets down to the brass tacks of shoeing horses for a living - safely and successfully.

Farriery: The Whole Horse Concept
The enigmas of hoof balance made clear.
by David W. Gillt
Hardcover, 145 pages. Profusely illustrated with color photographs and drawings

This slim hardcover book is long on facts and illustrations. It's a great reference book for all manner of situations dealing with balance, biomechanics, lameness and more. The author has backed up his findings with extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter - so you can further research the concepts if you desire. This was printed and published in England in 2007, and I had not seen it available here in the US until this year.

Amazing Stamp Pictures
Horsepower Print Item #P9005
Horsepower Framed Horse Stamp Collage
Amazing is the only word we could come up with for these. Everything about these is cultural, textural, rich - fascinating. Jack Klein is a graphic designer by trade, and a postage stamp collector too. His passions are apparent in these two framed pictures. He painstakingly selects the appropriate stamps from around the world (about 50 per picture), steams them free from their envelopes and then reapplies them to these artfully designed backgrounds - all perfectly straight and centered. Amazing. Then, as if that were not enough, he cuts the words & logos out of the linen textured mat and assembles the whole works up in a nice wood frame. (we think Jack may be a bit of an over-achiever, but we love the results!)

The Village Blacksmith by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1842
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.

His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.

Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And bear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from a threshing-floor.

He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys;
He hears the parson pray and preach,
He hears his daughter's voice,
Singing in the village choir,
And it makes his heart rejoice.

It sounds to him like her mother's voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think of her once more,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his haul, rough hand he wipes
A tear out of his eyes.
Toiling,--rejoicing,--sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night's repose.

Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.

A Rider's Prayer
Dearest Creator in Heaven,
Give me strength to guide my horse.
Make my hands soft and my head clear.
Let my horse understand me and I him.

My heart you have blessed with a special love of these animals.
Let me never lose sight of it.
My soul you have gifted with a deep need for them.
Let that need never lessen.

Always let my breath catch as the sun gleams on an elegant head.
Always may my throat tighten at the sound of a gentle nicker.
Let the scent of fresh hay and a new bag of grain be sweet to me.
Let the touch of a warm nose on my hand always bring a smile.

I adore the joy of a warm day on the farm.
The grace and splendor of a running horse,
The thunder of its hooves makes my eyes burn and my heart soar.
Let it always be so.

Dearest Creator grant me patience,
For horses are harnessed wind, and wind can be flighty.
Let me not frighten or harm them.
Instead show me ways to understand them.

Above all, dear Creator, fill my life with them.
When I pass from this world,
Send my soul to no heaven without them.
For this love you have given me graces my existence
And I shall cherish it and praise You for it for all time.
