The most important steps are in the dayto-day nitty-gritty of grooming and caring for the horse: noticing “something not-quite-right” about the way the horse looks or moves before it becomes “something wrong”; brushing and combing and trimming a little every day so the horse’s skin and coat remain healthy; knowing how to prepare a horse properly for training, and how to cool him down afterward. Now, CAT HILL and EMMA FORD, two of the best professional grooms in the business, share their trade secrets, with over 1200 color photographs, making this the ultimate modern-day guide for all riders who want their horses to look and feel their best. NEW BOOKS QUALITY CARE FOR BODY, MIND & SOUL CAT HILL spent time as a working student for a top Grand Prix Dressage Rider, a winter working the Winter Equestrian Festival for a Grand Prix Showjumping rider, and moved on to manage a AA Hunter barn. More recently she began freelancing as a groom in every discipline. Throughout the years she has worked at almost every type of competition, from the local fair to the Pan American Games. EMMA FORD has groomed at almost every four-star event in the world, and has been a member of the U.S. Eventing Team at multiple Olympic, World, and Pan American Games. Throughout the years, in addition to eventing, Emma has turned horses out at many upper level show-jumping and dressage competitions.

Riding Through Thick & Thin Make Peace with Your Body Image—In and Out of the Saddle Many if not most women have been locked in a battle with their bodies for as long as they can remember. And when it comes to riding horses, they drag their arsenal of self-doubt with them every time they step into the saddle. So with the humor and big-sisterly swagger that readers and reviewers have come to love, MELINDA FOLSE, author of bestseller The Smart Woman’s Guide to Midlife Horses, has decided to step in with a delightful, insightful, fulfilling new book. Riding Through Thick and Thin delves to the bottom of the issues that have long held women hostage, bringing together experts, research, resources, and stories to encourage, inspire, and empower. This is not about losing weight or getting fit (although if that’s a point of interest, there’s a section packed with helpful tools and ideas). This book is more about what’s going on in every woman’s mind — and it taps new findings in neuroscience to reveal that permanent change to deeply ingrained body image issues is not only possible, but it may be much easier than we think. 440 pp • 7 x 8 ½ 978 1 57076 657 2 • $24.95 pb #RITHTH • Recently Published MELINDA FOLSE is a lifelong horsewoman and coauthor of the bestseller Lessons Well Learned with Clinton Anderson; author of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Midlife Horses and Grandmaster: A Story of Struggle, Triumph and Taekwondo (about the life of Ninth Degree Taekwondo Grandmaster Won Chik Park); and a former senior writer at Time Warner’s Millionaire Blueprints Magazine (melindafolse.com).
