Along the way, many horses entered and exited her life, each bringing with them a depth of personality that steadily built her understanding of the relationship a rider can build with an equine partner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn her deeply personal and strikingly beautiful book, Froment traces her evolution as a horsewoman, a dressage competitor, and now a world-renowned performer and liberty trainer. Readers meet the ponies she learned on, and the challenging mounts that helped her grow as a junior rider. There were horses she immediately loved and horses she had to work to connect with—and eventually there were Mistral and Sultan, who she calls her “yin and yang,” and who elevated her aspirations both beside and on the back of a horse. It is with these two special souls that Froment further explored riding the Grand Prix movements with only a neck rope—no bridle or bit, and often bareback as well—and demonstrating to the world the potential that is there for all riders to enjoy, if they are open to the experience and are willing to take the time for it to evolve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will be entranced by Froment's willingness to bare her soul, powerfully articulating her feelings when confronted with jealousy, with performance expectations, with the possibility of losing the horse she loved to an unknown buyer, with retiring a beloved partner, and with the changing circumstances and altered allegiances of her heart when her daughter Louise is born. As tender as a story about riding, competing, and performing with horses at the highest levels can be, \u003ci\u003eThe Horses Who Made Me\u003c\/i\u003e is first a story of one woman's personal journey, eternally questioning herself, and second, an inspiration for anyone who is forever striving for a better way of training horses, because of the profound beauty you just might find.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TSB","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50728280129833,"sku":"9781646012152","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4422\/0713\/files\/TheHorsesWhoMadeMe-web.png?v=1752861503"},{"product_id":"wild-horses-of-skydog-blue-zeus-families","title":"Wild Horses of Skydog: Blue Zeus \u0026 Families","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n8LpfEAUz20?si=JJ6Cat_nmLTGlxF7\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA searingly beautiful tribute to wild Mustang family groups that have been reunited after suffering roundup and separation in the American West.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkydog Ranch and Sanctuary covers over 9,000 acres in Malibu, California, and Bend, Oregon, where wild horse advocates are working tirelessly to save captured Mustangs and return them to freedom. To date Skydog has rescued over 300 wild horses and 50 donkeys and mules, with a special focus on finding and reuniting bonded families who may have once roamed the American West together but who were separated during the roundup process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this striking book, gorgeously illustrated with hundreds of dramatic photographs, Skydog founder Clare Staples recounts heartbreaking tales of liberty lost and the dramatic extents to which some Mustangs will go to flee captivity or rejoin their family bands. She describes the mission that drives her and the Skydog team to identify and locate iconic wild horses that have been removed from public lands, and then secure them in order to assure them freedom at the Sanctuary for their remaining years—whenever possible, in the company of their original wild herdmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders meet twenty-one horse families, including that of Blue Zeus, the stunning Wyoming stallion who Staples admired in the wild for years before, in the fall of 2020, his herd was slated for roundup and captured, in one day losing both their freedom and each other. The story of the urgent search for him and his mares and foals, and their eventual reunion in the hills of Oregon, encapsulates all that Skydog hopes to accomplish for hundreds more horses in the years ahead. Incredibly moving, inspiring, and offering the hope of wildness and beauty preserved for future generations, this book is for every animal lover and all those who honor the natural inhabitants of the American West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA percentage of all sales goes toward supporting Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TSB","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50728279867689,"sku":"9781646012138","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4422\/0713\/files\/WildHorsesofSkydogcopy.png?v=1752861479"}],"url":"https:\/\/trafalgarsquarebooks.myshopify.com\/collections\/hot-10.oembed","provider":"Trafalgar Square Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
