Lessons From Meerah
There is nothing like leading a horse through endless labyrinth-like circles or listening to the trickle of water running over swollen legs, to place me into a state of contemplation. And this is how my story begins. Nursing my ten-year-old Arabian mare through a mysterious week-long illness while my mind, and this book, remembers the five years of work, errors, triumphs and tragedies that ultimately led to a true partnership with my dressage and trail horse.Horseback riding is my passion, part of my daily existence and happiness, and when my riding horse unexpectedly died, I needed to fill the void left in my emotional, and social life. Enter Meerah, a five-year-old rescued Arabian, a horse that my ego assumed I could easily train to my liking. But Meerah had her own opinion of how our new relationship should function.I should have known better than to apply the negative-reinforcement-style training that I had used on my old Western Pleasure mount... but I didn't. I was in my late fifties and for the past twenty years had grown spiritually in my everyday life, however, my equestrian-mind remained mired within dominance. It was Meerah who healed my wounded emotions and introduced me to a new way of thinking about horsemanship.Lessons from Meerah is a memoir, a five-year journey of my struggle to remember the simple path one needs to follow to form a successful relationship with a new horse, and not to blindly adhere to a recipe for training that I learned when I was much younger. Yet, ingrained habits are hard to recognize, and even harder to break.My recently deceased horse knew what I wanted and our invisible body language of a raised rein hand, or a touch of the spur, would easily catapult my old mare into the proper response. But Meerah was young, inexperienced, and did not understand my minuscule cues, let alone being ridden. I was determined to lunge my new mare into submission, or bit her head into the proper position, or sit heavy and squeeze my legs into controlling her speed. I was determined to re-create the Western Pleasure and trail horse that I had lost, and never considered my new horse could have an opinion, let alone a different goal than I.Meerah threw me off her back and into a fence, bolted and nearly unseated one trainer, and successfully wiggled her way out from under another. The beautiful Egyptian Arabian was a talented mover and had great potential, IF I could figure out how to ride her.Two steps forward and one step backwards was the progress we made together as I struggled to get her into the frame I desired. And, ever so slowly, the epiphany of common sense seeped into my blue ribbon seeking equestrian head.I learned to accept Meerah's ability to move as a dressage horse, and not as a pre-destined Western Pleasure horse. And as I learned the value of Centered Riding, Liberty training and Natural Horsemanship, I changed my perspective. Meerah was not the typical "equine slave" I could control. Quite the contrary, she became a partner. And through all these lessons I met new people, rekindled old friendships, and grew into the horsewoman I am today.I'll always treasure the memories and experiences of my youth, it is acceptance of change, or is it growth, that I applaud throughout the contents of this book. I hope you find my words, and our story, inspirational for your own life's journey, Suzy and Meerah

Know Your Dog
Most books about dogs talk about the history of various breeds, and are filled with useful training advice, yet we learn almost nothing about how dogs think and feel. Dogs are considered to be easily trained creatures of instinct, but this attitude falls short of the mark. It doesn't take into consideration that dogs are thinking, feeling beings; individuals, just as we are, with different personalities, strengths and weaknesses, and distinct emotional lives. The aim of this book is to have dog owners get to know their companions from a different perspective, through simple routines and games that can be carried out at home. Owners will learn about - and see for themselves - the mental abilities that their dog possesses, and understand their dog much better as the relationship between them grows even deeper.
Amazing Friends

Cool Cats
In Cool Cats, Stories of Extraordinary Cat Dads, you'll meet several men, and a couple boys, who appreciate the companionship of cats. The prevalent stereotype is that men prefer dogs while women favor cats. After all, dogs are man's best friend and women are crazy cat ladies. But these mainstream views are starting to crack. Have guys always loved cats? Maybe they didn't dare admit it in a world full of macho, out-spoken, dog-loving men. Or perhaps they're finally taking the time to notice the intricacies of cats. Women who favor cats aren't crazy; they're compassionate and wise. They know cats are delightful companions. Cats are loving, entertaining and helpful-who hasn't made a bed with the help of a cat? Finally, it seems, men are catching on-or, at least, are now coming forward to admit their love of cats. There are men as crazy about cats as us crazy cat ladies. In Cool Cats, Stories of Extraordinary Cat Dads you'll meet: The retired university professor who cares for a colony of feral cats. The homebuyer who was okay to learn his new house came with 16 barn cats. The guy who was crushed when his wife got two of their four cats in their divorce settlement. The man who had four figurines of cats on his wedding cake instead of a bride and groom-two represented his cats and two represented his bride's cats. The craft-beer loving cat guru whose license plate is CAT D4D. And many more devoted cat dads.
