| Description: | Select Guide Rating 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 humanSmart, 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.” |
