Descrierea cărții
A compelling look at a lifetime of success competing with
horses, and what it takes to make sure it is the horse that always wins. Is it possible to be simultaneously passionate about winning
in an equestrian sport and about the welfare of horses? Professional polo player Adam Snow and sport horse
veterinarian Shelley Onderdonk answer this undeniably twenty-first-century
question with a resounding, "Yes!" They have spent a lifetime together,
nurturing Adam's astounding career at the top of his sport (he is the last
American polo player to achieve the perfect 10-goal handicap) with the artful,
conscientious care and training of the equine partners he needed to be the
best. And Shelley's twenty-five years as an equine veterinarian have been spent
helping sport horses compete at the highest levels in other disciplines, as
well--including reining, racing, eventing, show jumping, and dressage--while
always prioritizing long-term health and well-being. In these pages, Adam and Shelley share the keys to their success...and
the struggles and celebrations that taught them along the way. Through the lens
of their disparate and yet synchronous experiences in the intense realm of world-class
equestrian sport, they explore topics of concern and those worthy of
consideration, including the: - Role of natural training methods
and horse-human communication - Cultivation of a competitive
training mindset - Responsibility of a veterinary
team member: goals of prevention and realities of diagnosis - Options offered by therapeutic
alternatives - Best steps when preparing human
and horse for competition - Hard questions to ask when
maintaining an equine athlete - Pieces that make up the
performance puzzle: conditioning, farriery, tack, and travel - Reality of retirement and when it
is the right thing to do, for horse and human Smart, engaging, and honest, this book is the answer to the
online debates and the boardroom arguments. With intelligence and experience, the
authors provide the much-needed antidote to the dark side of horse sports. "Our
story is an explicit acknowledgement that doing good for the horse is good for
results in the competitive arena," they write. "Our task is to explain our
method, and yours is to prove that it can be replicated."
